Sewing Workshop and Screen Printing
Manufactured to high standards in Kenya
The fabrics are then transported over a short distance of 272 km to Nairobi, Kenya. Transport takes place within the EAC (East African Community) without any customs charges.
Here, at our owner-managed partner company Straightline Enterprises/OneWay (formerly Kiboko), they are made into adult, children’s and baby clothing and printed by hand using water-based screen-printing inks.
A family business with a long tradition
The family-run business, founded in 1991, employs 65 staff across the warehouse, cutting, garment production, screen printing and administration departments. Many of the longer-serving employees have been with the company since its inception.
The staff benefit from wages that cover their basic needs, regular working hours, basic medical care, additional tips and a pleasant and safe working environment. The Kipepeo team visits the site regularly.
Interesting facts about production
Interesting facts: Kipepeo T-shirts are produced by work groups, each comprising seven employees. It takes just under 60 minutes to produce a Kipepeo T-shirt, including screen printing (and drying), packaging and the preparation of export documents.
For screen printing, we use only water-based inks from the manufacturer CHT.
