Building Capacity for Growth

In 2024, Kua Ventures invested KES 7.5 million in Seven Twenty Holdings to support the purchase of production machinery, expansion of manufacturing capacity, and working capital required for growth. The investment was designed to help the business increase local manufacturing while creating jobs and strengthening its operational foundation.

The company now produces a wide range of home improvement products distributed across Kenya and continues to invest in systems, equipment, and people to meet growing market demand.

Growth in Numbers

Revenue has grown from KES 21.6 million in 2021 to KES 109.8 million in 2024. Over the same period, permanent employment increased from 18 to 35 employees, while annual payroll grew from KES 1.3 million to KES 6.3 million.

The business generated KES 19.1 million in net profit in 2024 and maintained strong repayment performance, reflecting both commercial viability and financial discipline.

These outcomes demonstrate the potential of growth-stage manufacturers when paired with patient capital, strategic guidance, and long-term partnership.

Why This Business Matters

Manufacturing businesses create impact far beyond the factory floor.

Every increase in production supports suppliers, distributors, retailers, and the families that depend on them. As Seven Twenty has expanded, so too has its ability to create employment, increase wages, and contribute to local economic growth.

Annual salaries paid by the business have increased nearly fivefold over the last three years, reaching KES 6.3 million in 2024. Permanent jobs have almost doubled over the same period.

For Kua Ventures, Seven Twenty represents the kind of entrepreneur we seek to back: disciplined operators building profitable businesses with the potential to create meaningful jobs and lasting economic value.

Founder Perspective

“Sometimes the biggest opportunities come disguised as setbacks. Losing my job forced me to think differently. What started as a small venture became a manufacturing business creating opportunities for others.”
