To support world-class supply chain efficiency, the plant is fully integrated with a GDP-compliant Automated Storage & Retrieval System (ASRS) — enabling intelligent, secure, and traceable material handling from production to dispatch.


Integrated Pharmaceutical Warehouse – A Strategic Extension

With 5,000 Euro pallet positions, the warehouse supports both in-house needs and offers Third-Party Logistics (3PL) capabilities for select partners in the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors.


National & Regional Impact

This dual investment — in both manufacturing and logistics — delivers far-reaching benefits:

  • Foreign Exchange Savings
    Local production of essential medicines and devices will reduce import dependency, saving millions annually in foreign currency.

  • Employment & Skill Development
    The facility will employ over 800 skilled professionals, contributing to Kenya’s industrial growth and talent advancement.

  • Healthcare Sovereignty & Security
    Post-COVID, this investment ensures critical healthcare products are produced locally, bolstering national readiness and self-sufficiency.

  • Improved Access & Affordability
    By reducing supply chain costs and production lead times, the plant will enhance availability and lower prices of life-saving treatments.

  • Sustainability & Scalability
    Built for the future, the integrated site combines compliance, automation, and operational excellence — setting new industry benchmarks in Africa.


A Vision for Africa’s Healthcare Independence

Crown Healthcare’s commitment goes beyond business — it’s about building Africa’s capability to care for its own. This project signals a future where Kenya stands as a manufacturing, logistics, and innovation powerhouse in the healthcare space.
