Dormans Coffee moves to Tatu Industrial Park

On a greenfield site, Dormans will build its corporate headquarters as well as processing, packaging, warehousing and trading facilities capable of handling more than 15,000 tonnes of coffee per year. When the facility is fully built, close to 200 Dormans employees will work at Tatu Industrial Park.

“Dormans has a proud legacy in Kenya and a trusted reputation among its clients in over 25 countries,” said Dormans Chairman Jeremy Block. “The decision to consolidate our operations and offices at Tatu Industrial Park demonstrates our commitment to the quality of our coffee and global growth.”

Tatu Industrial Park, which includes 420 acres of serviced industrial land, is located within easy proximity to Jomo Kenyatta Airport, Runda, Kenyatta University, UniCity, Thika Highway and the Northern and Eastern Bypasses, giving Dormans a unique gateway to Kenya, East Africa and the world.

Anthony Njoroge, Tatu City’s Acting CEO, commented, “We are very excited to welcome Dormans to Tatu Industrial Park, where we will provide unparalleled infrastructure and planning to Kenyan, African and global businesses. As a major investment in the Kenyan economy and a benchmark for visionary urban planning, Tatu Industrial Park and Tatu City will provide tens of thousands of jobs for Kenyans and create a holistic development that eases the burdens of urbanisation on central Nairobi.”

Tatu Industrial Park is the ideal location for local, regional and international companies expanding in Africa through a hub in Kenya. Tatu Industrial Park provides power, water, sewerage and industrial-grade paved roads to light industrial plots of varying sizes.
