This company and product can be found at the special show area called AFRICA CHIC.

Afrikiko was founded in the year 1996 by four young Kenyan and German students, with the primary objective of promoting new, innovative Kenyan deco products in the international market.

The following aspects were particularly important to us:
- Creation of long-term partnerships and fair business relations
   toour producers, customers and suppliers.
- Promotion of the rural development in Kenya.
- Initiation of social security systems (e.g. health insurance,
  savings accounts etc.)

In order to achieve these goals the company has continuously made enhancements and improvements in the following fields:
- Product design: The Company has made innovative enhancement
  of individual product groups thus coming up with refreshingly
  beautiful Afrikiko Designs.
- Colours: The Company has carried out intensive research to
  come up with dyes that are compatible with our product
  range.
- Packaging: The Company has designed packaging materials for
  our product range making it possible to offer custom packaging
  and labelling to our clients.
- Quality: A lot of effort has been put into ensuring a high and
  sustainable quality level for all our products.

In order to secure the quality standard, Afrikiko pays its producers on average up to 35% above the prevailing local market prices. Besides we grant interest-free loans to our producers so that they can improve their workshops and their working environments.

Afrikiko has over 500 producers and suppliers spread around Kenya (and indeed around the world as we source some components e.g. dyes and pigments, key rings, sand paper etc. from Europe and Asia).

Our sales and marketing team in Berlin, Germany, specializes in customer relations management and is the link between the Kenyan team and the customer.

We are very proud of the fact that Afrikiko has made great achievements without any support from donations or any kind of grants from NGOs or governments. The success of Afrikiko is based purely on the appealing nature of our product variety and quality, the pricing structure, the reliable supply chain and the excellent customer and supplier relations management.
