Kenya Wine Agencies Limited (KWAL) has launched its new Eldoret depot. The depot located at the Rupa Go Down along the Eldoret-Nairobi Highway will provide local support to KWAL customers in the greater Rift and Western regions.
The move to the region is boosted by the company’s soaring performance associated with an extended product line and aggressive distribution strategy. Once fully operational the new Eldoret depot will include a Commercial and Supply Chain function, capable of the highest standards of service and efficiency.
Speaking at the launch event, Managing Director Mr Carlos Gomes noted the move as natural due to the business opportunities and growth of the region.
“Eldoret was a natural progression for us, complemented by its growing business opportunities and political stability. Further our existing d****r network will ensure that KWAL distinguished products are enjoyed across the rift,” he said.
KWAL currently has its footprint in various towns such as Nyeri, Nakuru, Kisumu and Mombasa. Adding an Eldoret depot under its belt will ease the corporations operations within the region, maintain and improve client relations while ensuring business growth and continuity across the board.
