Nairobi Business Ventures Ltd

Nairobi Business Ventures PLC (NBV) is a publicly listed diversified business group on the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE), headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya. Incorporated in 2012, it initially operated as a wholesaler and retailer of premium leather products and shoes under the 'K Shoe' brand but pivoted during economic challenges to more sustainable sectors including heavy vehicle maintenance, aviation services, retail, manufacturing, trading of construction materials, and logistics.

The company's core divisions include the Automobile Division (vehicle maintenance and electric motorcycle assembly), Aviation Division (air cargo, aircraft maintenance, and leasing), Trading Division (sodium silicate and chemicals), and Manufacturing & Logistics (building materials). This diversification has enabled NBV to establish a strong presence in Kenya and East Africa, with FY2024 revenue reaching KES 906.57 million, driven primarily by automobile (46%) and trading (45%) segments.

NBV holds a prominent market position as a leader in automotive and aviation services, focusing on innovation, strategic investments, and sustainable growth to deliver shareholder value amid dynamic regional markets.
