Afrimac Nut Co. Ltd.

Foodstuff & Beverages

Nairobi, Kenya

Afrimac Nut Company Limited was incorporated in 2011 primarily to engage in agro-food processing and more particularly to exploit the opportunity that existed in the Kenyan macadamia nut market.

We package our macadamia nuts in nitrogen-flushed and vacuum-sealed aluminium foils. This prolongs the shelf life of the product as well as reduces rancidity. The macadamia nuts are then packed in 11.34kg(25lb) cartons.

At Afrimac, we also produce our own high quality macadamia oil. To many, macadamia oil is commonly described as “good oil” due to the fact that it is has high levels of monosaturated fats. Macadamia oil is used in both the cosmetic industry as well as the food industry.

For cooking, macadamia oil is rich in flavor. This makes it perfect for salad dressings, frying, roasting and baking. Macadamia oil has a high smoking point and no cholesterol which is great for the health-conscious consumer.

Due to its composition, macadamia oil is becoming a favorite in the cosmetic industry. It is often used in shampoos, conditioners, body lotions, lip balms, massage oil and many other ways.

The company began with a modest processing facility in Thika, Kiambu county. Over the years, the company has grown and has relocated to a state of the art facility that is located in Maragua, Muranga County. The head offices are located in Parklands, Nairobi from which administration and logistics work is done.

Our core business is the processing of macadamia nuts and macadamia oil to export markets.

In order to ensure that we meet the global demand of high quality macadamia nuts, Afrimac has developed strategic partners through the years. These partners share the same values, business ethos and processing standards as we do. They are spread out in the different macadamia growing regions in Kenya, giving them easier access to farmers.
