Industrialisation
DL Group's industrialisation cluster is anchored by Kenya's first licensed private Special Economic Zone — creating industrial hubs, logistics infrastructure, and engineering capabilities that power East Africa's economic transformation.
The Africa Economic Zone (AEZ) is a 700-acre industrial complex located in Eldoret, Kenya — licensed under the Special Economic Zones Act 2015. Developed in partnership with Guangdong New South Group of China, AEZ is designed to be a transformative industrial hub for East and Central Africa.
AEZ targets agro-processing, textiles, electronics, chemicals, and light manufacturing — providing investors with an internationally competitive operating environment with favourable duty, tax, and regulatory frameworks. The zone targets 40,000+ direct jobs upon full development, contributing substantially to Kenya's Vision 2030 industrialisation goals.
With access to the 150M+ consumer East African Community market and strategic infrastructure connections, AEZ positions Kenya as the industrial gateway to the region.
