The small sign at the entrance of the Chemical and School Supplies (CSS) Limited shop in Nairobi does not prepare you for the large store that houses one of the country’s oldest supplier of school and laboratory equipment.

Started in November 1988 by five brothers, the company has been growing, moving from a small shop on Tom Mboya Street to its current location on 64 Kijabe Street where it stretches across the entire ground floor of the building.
