Kenya imports roughly most of its processing machinery and the bulk of its raw materials. There is no entrenched domestic supply base to displace — the question for a Kenyan processor is not whether to import, but from whom.
That import dependency creates continuous demand for new and reliable machinery, better raw materials and additives, and recycling and sustainability solutions — the three categories COMPLAST is built around.
With most machinery and raw materials imported, Kenyan buyers are actively looking for international suppliers. You are not fighting for share against an established local incumbent.

Machines running live cycles drove the strongest engagement at the last edition. Power for demonstrations and machine handling are provided complimentary by the organiser.
