Why Kenya needs lubricants & greases
Kenya is East Africa's commercial hub. Mombasa port serves Kenya and the landlocked markets beyond it, Nairobi hosts regional head offices and most manufacturers, and agriculture, from tea and flowers to maize and dairy, still employs most of the workforce.
Engine oils, hydraulic oils and greases are consumed continuously by vehicles, fleets, plants and mines.
