What Adpack does

Adpack Limited is a Kenyan vertically integrated manufacturer of woven polypropylene and flexible packaging, established in 2013 and headquartered at a single manufacturing facility in Athi River, Machakos County. The company operates across five integrated production stages — polymer extrusion, circular loom weaving, lamination, flexo/BOPP printing, and stitching/finishing — with daily capacity exceeding 100,000 bags across nine product lines spanning woven sacks (5-100 kg), block bottom valve bags, BOPP high-graphic retail bags, woven shopping bags, FIBC jumbo bags (1,000 kg SWL), tarpaulins, PP woven fabric rolls, bag closing thread, and leno mesh net bags. Its technical differentiation is anchored in the exclusive Africa licence for ProvisionGard® insect-blocking technology, KEBS-certified in-house quality testing, and a multi-origin PP resin sourcing strategy across Gulf, Indian, and Southeast Asian producers.

The company serves four primary B2B verticals — FMCG, agriculture, chemicals, and construction — through a direct sales motion with quote-based pricing, 24-hour response commitments, and MOQ thresholds ranging from 500 to 25,000 units depending on product complexity. Standard orders fulfil in 7-10 working days and custom designs in 10-14 working days. The company exports to 14 African countries with coordinated documentation (certificates of origin, packing lists, freight), and operates as a member of the Kenya Association of Manufacturers and the United Nations Global Compact. Revenue is generated through one-time transactional product sales plus custom manufacturing services (artwork development, pre-production sampling, bespoke specifications), with no disclosed subscription or recurring model.
