Ashut Engineers: Plastic Products, Office and Home Furniture, Racking and Shelving

Mehul Shah, Director of Ashut Engineers Ltd, explains what the company brings to the Kenyan market. Ashut Engineers was founded in 1986 and is now one of the leading manufacturers of plastic products, office and home furniture, as well as racking and shelving solutions.

“Ashut Engineers started in 1986. We have a lot of experience in terms of the Kenyan market. We are now looking at machines which are being used in first world countries and we bring them here and we get products which are made from those machines. We have CNC machines and automation is key. We also train local people. We have taken them to Europe to take a training course on the CNC machines and they are now able to make what the first world is able to make. The only area of concern is the high power costs that we have. If we can cut costs there, then we should be able to be more competitive. We are installing solar power in the plastics side and if it is successful, then we will do the same in the furniture side. Power is a huge cost for us. With automation, we should be able to make our products more affordable. We also provide the customers customization. Most of the imported products are generally one size fits all. We can measure your office and make your products to your requirements. If you need a table to a specific design, we will design it for you using whatever materials you want such as metal, wood, any texture, finish, color, stain. You do not have to order container loads, but you can order piece by piece. We also do home furniture where the fabric is based on the customer’s choice. If you go with imported goods, you are bound to whatever is available in the market, not what you want. On the racking and shelving side, we can make them all as high as the customer wants to suit a 2-ton or 3-ton load capacity. It is ideal for the way you want your office or your warehouse to be”, says Mehul Shah.
