Himel, a Spanish manufacturer of low-voltage electrical products, said its equipment has been installed in five developments under Kenya’s Affordable Housing Programme, covering 4,657 housing units and 104 retail shops.
The supply package comprised miniature circuit breakers, consumer units, moulded-case circuit breakers and other power-distribution gear intended to provide safe and reliable electricity.
The firm entered Kenya in 2021 with wiring devices and has since expanded to include industrial drives, electric-vehicle chargers, smart relays, solar drives and automatic transfer switches.
At the Kenya Leadership Connect 2026 event, themed “Powering Kenya Together”, Himel displayed these newer solutions to contractors, consultants and distribution partners.
Vice-President for International Sales Koon San Ang stated, “Kenya continues to be one of the most dynamic and promising markets in East Africa,” adding that the company aims to support the market with an integrated range covering power distribution, automation, energy management, electric-vehicle charging and smart-building technologies.
Himel is partnering with local distributor Nabico Enterprises Limited, a family-owned business founded in 1989 that grew from selling bicycles to providing electrical solutions for residential, commercial and industrial projects.
Nabico director Biren Shah said, “Kenya’s rapid development across housing, commercial infrastructure, energy, and industrial sectors requires partners that can deliver both quality and value,” and explained that the partnership will give customers access to a broader product range backed by local technical support.
Founded in Spain in 1958, Himel now operates in more than 60 countries and offers a catalogue of over 32,000 stock-keeping units.
