About the owner: Manji Food Industries
Manji Food Industries is a privately held company headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya. Brandtree records 1 brand under its control.
Manji Food Industries Limited is a Kenyan biscuit manufacturer operating from the Industrial Area of Nairobi, with regional distribution through Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru and Central Kenya. Its own history page traces the business to a bread bakery in Ngara, House of Manji, that pivoted to biscuits after wartime wheat rationing made bread-only trading difficult; the company as it now trades took over the House of Manji operation, then under receivership, in November 2002 under the chairmanship of Dr HP Dawda.
