Thomas Ochieng Asao started as a small-scale artisan at Kariobangi in Nairobi. He used to make jikos, doors and window grills as well as beds and chairs for local customers.
From his humble beginning, he never envisioned that one day his business would become East Africa's leading supplier of commercial and industrial equipment.
