Kenya Association of Manufacturers Recruitment

The logo of the Kenya Association of Manufacturers represents a significant entity in the professional and social association realm. Founded in 1959, this private organization, located at 15 Mwanzi Road opposite West Gate Mall, Westlands, Nairobi, Kenya, serves as the representative body for value-add industries in Kenya. Over the years, it has transformed into a dynamic, credible, and respected business association, providing a unified voice for industrialists.

The Kenya Association of Manufacturers (KAM) plays a crucial role in fostering cooperation, dialogue, and understanding with the government. By conveying the perspectives and concerns of its members to relevant authorities, KAM fulfills its core mandate of policy advocacy. Emphasizing trade and investment promotion, standards upholding, and the facilitation of a competitive business environment, KAM strives to reduce the overall cost of conducting business.

In 2009, KAM marked its 50th anniversary by introducing a new corporate image. The mission of the organization is to promote competitive and sustainable local manufacturing, with a vision to become a world-class Business Member Organization (BMO) delivering effective services to its members. The overarching goal is to transform KAM into a sustainable, member-focused association providing relevant, quality, timely, and effective services.

KAM's corporate culture is guided by six values: Responsiveness, Integrity, Innovation, Inclusiveness, Teamwork, and Excellence. The purpose of the organization is to create wealth at both corporate and individual levels by advocating for a competitive business environment. This advocacy, in turn, aims to improve industries, boost the economy, generate employment, and enhance the overall standards of living for Kenyans.

The strategic objectives of KAM include driving industrial growth to achieve a 15% contribution of the manufacturing sector to GDP by 2019, supporting a skills-based job creation agenda with a 33% increase in manufacturing sector jobs, enhancing market access for products both locally and globally to achieve a 33% growth in exports by 2019, and maintaining a broad membership base while ensuring operational excellence.
