Supporting Kenya’s Construction Boom

Kenya’s booming infrastructure and housing development sectors present an attractive opportunity for global construction brands.

With rapid urbanization and increased government spending on mega-projects, demand for reliable and efficient construction equipment has surged.

DEWALT’s entry into the Kenyan market aims to support this growth by offering professional-grade tools that enhance productivity, safety, and efficiency on job sites.

From cordless drills to heavy-duty saws and the revolutionary FlexVolt battery system, the brand is introducing solutions designed to meet the rigorous demands of African construction professionals.
