Our History

The story of Wood Products Kenya Ltd began when 3 brothers had a vision to start a timber company in Kenya in the early 1900’s. The formed the company Hardial Singh & Bros which processed & traded timber. At its peak, it controlled a large market share of timber flooring & export timber in East Africa.

As more family members joined the business, the company was rebranded as Wood Products Kenya Ltd. Today the company is still run my members of the founding family and continues in its roots to provide the market with wood products.
