member news
Sassda is pleased to announce that Kenya-based stainless-steel fabricator Techwin has joined the association as a new member. With nearly two decades of experience, the company has grown alongside East Africa’s expanding agri-processing, food manufacturing and pharmaceutical sectors and operates at the intersection of stainless-steel fabrication, process engineering and industrial food systems. New Member Champions Standards as Kenya’s Techwin Joins SASSDA
The company designs, manufactures and integrates equipment for hygienic, regulated production environments, focusing on value-added fabrication with a product range that includes dairy processing machinery, food and beverage systems, storage and processing tanks, brewery equipment, cosmetic and pharmaceutical vessels, as well as customised stainless-steel solutions for industrial clients. Raw materials are sourced through established regional and international supply chains. Grade selection is guided by performance requirements, traceability and compliance with food-grade and pharmaceutical standards. This approach allows the company to maintain material availability while meeting strict regulatory demands, particularly in sectors where product integrity is critical. Techwin’s membership comes at a time when technical standards, skills development and cross-border alignment are becoming increasingly important to African manufacturers. CEO Ken Mbiuk i comments, “Our growth over nearly two decades has been built on disciplined fabrication, strict hygienic design principles and long-term partnerships with clients operating in regulated industries. “In food and pharmaceutical processing, where there is little margin for error, manufacturing requires consistent process control, skilled welding and rigorous documentation.
By joining Sassda, we aim to strengthen that foundation and align with recognised stainless steel and manufacturing standards, technical benchmarking and structured training as our projects become more complex and increasingly regional.” Large-scale project underscores integration demands Demand for hygienic processing equipment continues to rise across East Africa, driven by expansion in agri-processing, food and beverage manufacturing, dairy value addition and pharmaceuticals. As project sizes increase and system integration becomes more complex, maintaining consistent technical standards remains a challenge for fabricators. A recent large-scale contract undertaken by Techwin illustrated the level of coordination required. The company designed and manufactured integrated processing, cleaning-in-place (CIP) and storage systems for a high-volume food-processing operation in Kenya. The project required strict hygienic design, precise temperature control, compatibility with food- grade materials and seamless integration into an existing plant environment.
