In a significant step towards deepening Kenya-Israel trade relations, Amraz Ltd, a leading Israeli packaging manufacturer, hosted Albert K. Kendagor, Kenya’s Ambassador to Israel, for an extensive tour and business dialogue at Amraz’s advanced production facility on Tuesday, 1oth June, 2025.
Organized in partnership with ShareLovv International, the visit reflected a shared vision to foster long-term industrial partnerships, support sustainable manufacturing, and explore future collaborations in packaging technology for Africa’s rapidly growing food and beverage sector.
The visit began with a comprehensive tour of Amraz’s state-of-the-art factory, led by Factory Manager Khilik Hason, where the delegation witnessed firsthand the company’s automation, robotics, and precision engineering. Ambassador Kendagor remarked, “We interact with plastics daily, and as a government, we want to ensure a balance that provides business opportunities while maintaining a sustainable environment.”
Following the tour, ShareLovv International CEO Tobi Lovv emphasized the importance of building partnerships that generate local employment and drive technological advancement across Africa. “Kenya has a unique opportunity to position itself as a leader in plastics standards and sustainability, which can open doors for job creation and industrial development,” Lovv noted.

Rammy Ben-Zaken, Amraz Global Sales & Marketing Director, highlighted the company’s leadership in the Israeli market, producing over 2.4 billion items annually and supplying global clients such as Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Danone, and Nestlé. He stressed Amraz’s readiness to support African markets with innovative, cost-effective, and environmentally responsible solutions, including advanced use of recycled plastics (RPET). “Being the first to bring RPET to East Africa says something about a country’s vision,” Ben-Zaken added.
Moshe Dayan, Amraz Head of Business Development, underscored the importance of long-term partnerships. “We don’t sell finished products; we sell solutions that require strong, ongoing relationships. Our expertise allows us to reduce costs for manufacturers while maintaining the highest standards of quality for consumers.”
Ambassador Kendagor said Kenya’s expanding economy and growing population demand modern production solutions: “It is the right time for the international community to develop strategies that enhance sustainability and bring technology to support African markets. Kenya has the potential to become a regional hub.”
The dialogue also touched on the evolving role of technology, with discussions about integrating AI into manufacturing processes, creating opportunities for Kenya’s growing tech-savvy youth population. As Tobi Lovv pointed out, “Kenya is already one of Africa’s top technology hubs — this collaboration can blend AI, manufacturing, and sustainability into meaningful economic growth.”
