Speaking at the facility’s official opening, Trade, Investment and Industry CS Moses Kuria underlined the Kenya Kwanza government’s pledge to attract more investment into Kenya.

“I want to reiterate the commitment of the government to promote investments and welcome investors to create jobs and help increase incomes and improve Kenya’s competiveness on the regional and global stages. What delights me is the business model. What you are doing as ALP is empowering and enabling businesses,” Kuria said.


On his part, ALP CEO Richard Hough reaffirmed their pledge to provide quality warehousing for all sizes of businesses, while spearheading climate-smart industrial real estate growth.

“We are in the business of making operations easier for our customers, regardless of the size. Our commitment to ensuring all our tenants, and by extension other businesses in Kenya, experience climate-smart and modern warehousing that meets their current and future needs,” said Hough.

The energy and water savings in addition to all the other conveniences our tenants enjoy all reflect on stronger bottom lines that allow them to scale up and grow to impact even more people and businesses.”
