Industrial Spare Parts Supply in Nandi County
Highlands tea estate manufacturing, cooperative dairy processing, and timber sawmilling
Nandi County is one of Kenya’s premier commercial tea belts, hosting extensive private and multinational tea estate factories (Eastern Produce Kenya - EPK, George Williamson, Tindiret, and KTDA Chebut and Mudete adjacent zones). Alongside tea manufacturing, the county is recognized for large-scale cooperative dairy processing (Kabiyet Dairies), commercial timber sawmilling, and maize milling in Kapsabet and Nandi Hills. The heavy 24/7 tea processing cycle requires robust thermal energy from biomass boilers, fluid bed tea dryers, high-speed withering fans, and heavy CTC roller drives. STARNEX supplies boiler manhole gaskets, tubular sight glasses, CTC spherical roller bearings, and sanitary dairy pump seals across Nandi.
