About Us – The Story of Mabati Rolling Mills

In 1962, at a time when quality construction materials were scarce and costly in Kenya, a vision was born: to provide affordable, durable, and accessible roofing solutions for all Kenyans. From that vision came Mabati Rolling Mills — now one of the most trusted names in the Kenyan building industry.
