FullCare Medical has launched a new medical garment production facility in Tatu City, the 5,000-acre mixed-use Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in Kenya.
The FullCare Medical facility represents an investment of Ksh 3.94 billion (USD 30 million) and employs 1,800 Kenyans in the first phase. In subsequent phases, the company plans to employ up to 7,000 Kenyans.
“Our selection of Kenya and Tatu City SEZ for our investment reflects our belief in the transformative power of collaboration. This state-of-the-art facility, leveraging cutting-edge solar technology for sustainable manufacturing, is poised to export USD 60 million of medical goods annually while catering to the local market's needs,” said Lu Jianguo, Founder of FullCare Medical.
The FullCare Medical facility represents one of the most significant foreign direct investments in Kenya, setting the benchmark for dynamic and entrepreneurial Chinese companies in Africa.
