Why Kenya needs timing pulleys
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.
V-belts and pulleys stretch, crack and wear with every running hour, so compressors, mills, threshers and pump sets need replacement sets on the shelf.
