When big brands, both global and local giants set up operations in one place, it says something about the strength of that location. At Tatu City, names like Heineken, NCBA, CCI Global, Dormans, Davis & Shirtliff, Naivas, and Emirates Logistics have all chosen to operate. These brands represent industries that require world-class standards to thrive. Their presence is proof that Tatu City is a launchpad for business success.
For multinational companies, the decision to set up at Tatu City isn’t taken lightly. It comes after careful consideration of infrastructure, market access, and long-term stability.

One of the biggest draws for these brands is infrastructure. Power that stays on, water that flows 24/7, smooth roads, and seamless internet are essentials for companies that run complex operations. For businesses that depend on reliability, these fundamentals make all the difference. Tatu City’s infrastructure removes uncertainty, allowing firms to focus on growth rather than firefighting.
Policy support also matters. As Kenya’s first operational Special Economic Zone, Tatu City offers tax incentives, duty exemptions, and regulatory ease that directly improve business efficiency. For global players like Heineken and CCI Global, this reduces costs and enhances competitiveness. For local champions like Naivas and NCBA, it creates a platform to scale faster and operate in an environment designed for expansion.
But perhaps the strongest signal is the clustering effect. When respected brands choose Tatu City, they build trust in the location. Smaller businesses follow, drawn by the chance to work alongside established names and tap into shared opportunities. The ecosystem becomes self-reinforcing. Multinationals bring credibility, SMEs bring agility, and together they create a thriving business community.
At its core, Tatu City has become a place where serious businesses go to grow. The presence of global and local giants is a foundation for the next wave of enterprise in Kenya. For companies looking to scale, expand, or simply operate without friction, Tatu City offers something rare: proof that success is already happening.
