ZUTARI KENYA OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED IN NAIROBI
Leading consulting engineering and infrastructure advisory firm Zutari has officially been registered as a fully licensed company in Nairobi , Kenya . “ East Africa has long been identified as a growth area for Zutari , with Kenya at the centre of our expansion initiatives into the region ,” says Zutari CEO Teddy Daka . In recent years , Kenya has placed more emphasis on the extent to which companies are locally owned . The engineering profession in Kenya is regulated by the Kenyan Engineers Act ( 2011 ), which contains stringent requirements for engineering companies and consulting firms who would like to conduct business in Kenya . To ensure compliance to the Act , these organisations must be registered with the Engineers Board of Kenya ( EBK ). Zutari Kenya Ltd has since reached this important milestone and is now registered with the EBK in civil and electrical engineering disciplines . “ We are proud of the impact our Nairobi office has unlocked through its many infrastructure feats over multiple decades of operating in Kenya . These still stand proudly across all of Kenya , a testament to the enduring power of infrastructure to create the kind of change the world needs today ,” comments Dr . Paul Lombard , Regional Director of East Africa , Zutari . As an infrastructure engineering and advisory practice in Kenya , flagship projects to date have included design and management services to support Scania to build the first of 15 global service centres in Nairobi , comprising an extensive warehouse complex , service pits , and offices .
