Dolphin Bay has signed an agreement with our first customer in Kenya: Silverwood, a large operation that produces utility poles for the country’s electrification programmes.
Based in Eldoret, the capital of the wood-treatment industry in the country, Silverwood is one of the most active treatment plants in Kenya.
“We appreciate the support Dolphin Bay has offered and hope to have a growing relationship of trust and confidence in all our dealings with the company,” said Silverwood’s Tonny Mwangi Karanja.
“We also hope Dolphin Bay will assist with the establishment of high-quality standards for treating poles in Kenya.”
“Tonny is a very strong and highly regarded presence in the Kenyan wood treatment industry and is eager to continue growing his business.”
This follows Dolphin Bay playing a pivotal role in helping to establish world-class treatment standards in neighbouring Tanzania.
Silverwood supplies fencing poles for local retail markets, farms and game reserves, as well as poles for the Kenyan Power and Lighting Company and the Rural Electrification and Renewable Energy Corporation.
The process of delivering the first stock to Silverwood is underway and Dolphin Bay has completed drawings for a second plant that Tonny is setting up outside Eldoret.
“We have had many meetings with Tonny, each time building a better relationship,” said Dolphin Bay’s Wayne Driemeyer. “He is a very strong and highly regarded presence in the Kenyan wood treatment industry and is eager to continue growing his business.”
