Kericho County forms the green heart of Kenya’s tea industry, hosting dozens of tea estate processing factories (James Finlay, Unilever/Ekaterra, KTDA tea factories, and Williamson Tea). Continuous tea manufacturing operates on a 24-hour cycle during peak flush seasons, demanding uninterrupted thermal energy from biomass and wood-fired boilers, continuous Fluid Bed Dryers (FBD), CTC (Crush, Tear, Curl) roller drives, and withering trough ventilation fans. Equipment failure during high flush leads to immediate leaf spoilage and immense financial loss. STARNEX supplies high-temperature boiler door gaskets, gauge glass tubes, burner fuel pumps, C3 motor bearings, and heavy transmission belts directly to tea factories across Kericho.
