In a major boost to Kenya’s construction sector, Mabati Rolling Mills (MRM) CEO Albert Sigei and Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) Managing Director Esther Ngari have pledged to work hand in hand to uphold quality, safety, and innovation in the industry.
During a high-level meeting at KEBS headquarters in Nairobi, the two leaders committed to a strategic partnership focused on improving product standards, promoting sustainable practices, and accelerating innovation in building materials.
“This partnership is about more than compliance—it’s about shaping the future of construction in Kenya,” said Sigei, who recently took over the helm at MRM.
Ngari echoed his sentiments, emphasizing KEBS’s dedication to protecting consumers and driving industrial growth through strict quality benchmarks. “Collaboration with key manufacturers like MRM is vital in ensuring our standards reflect both safety and modern technological advancement,” she noted.
The move comes at a time when Kenya’s construction industry is booming, with rising demand for high-quality, environmentally friendly materials. By joining forces, KEBS and MRM aim to create a more informed, quality-driven sector that supports the country’s sustainable development goals.
Industry players are expected to benefit from improved compliance, better consumer awareness, and access to innovative, world-class products.
This meeting signals a new era for Kenya’s construction ecosystem—one rooted in integrity, partnership, and progress.
