Kirloskar’s Presence in Africa

Our presence in Africa goes back to 1977 when Kirloskar Kenya was established in Nairobi. This marked the first milestone of Kirloskar in Africa. The company’s aim was to mobilise the growing markets in Kenya, leveraging the close cooperation between India and East African countries. Today Kirloskar Kenya serves the East African region including Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, and Burundi. It offers comprehensive product solutions to Kirloskar’s clients ranging from application consultancy, design, installation, and commissioning to after-sales service.

‘Kirloskar Trading South Africa’ was established in Johannesburg in 2000 with a view to supply Kirloskar engines for general industrial applications, pump sets, forestry equipment, mining equipment, firefighting equipment, and generating sets. ‘Kirloskar Trading South Africa’ serves as the sole distributor of Kirloskar Diesel Engines and related products and offers extensive back-ups for spare parts in South Africa, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, and Botswana.
