Keep IT Cool Launches New Distribution Centre

Wednesday, 9th March 2022

Our scaling journey has started. The Operations team, led by Abigail Gachigi, launched our second cold-chain distribution hub, Sambaza Hub, in Kenya. With this new investment, we have increased our outbound capacity by 10X, handling 50MT of white meat weekly, including value addition. In 2021, Keep IT Cool grew by 400% in revenue and 125% in basket size while maintaining healthy margins.

With the support of the Shell Foundation and UK government (FCDO), we are launching more regional cold-chain distribution hubs along the East African Northern Transport Corridor cities and towns by mid-2022.
