Who We Are
Benito is a Kenyan meat processing and food manufacturing company committed to providing high-quality meat products while delivering reliable, safe and professional service to our customers.
Our journey began in 2012 as a local butchery in Balozi, South B Area of Nairobi, with a small team of two employees. What started as a community-focused butchery has grown through persistence, innovation, learning and a commitment to better serve our customers.
Today, Benito operates from KHL Business Park, Mlolongo, where we have expanded our processing capabilities and product range to serve a wider market.Our business combines fresh meat processing, portioning and value addition, enabling us to serve individual consumers as well as hospitality, retail and other commercial markets.
Our Journey
Benito began as a local butchery in Balozi, South B Area of Nairobi County. Our focus was simple: provide better butchery services and quality meat products to the surrounding community.
In 2016, Benito was registered as a limited company. This marked an important stage in our growth and enabled us to expand our services.
We introduced home delivery and online sales through our e-commerce platform, allowing us to serve customers beyond our physical outlet.
During the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting restrictions, our existing online ordering and delivery system became an important part of our business. The platform enabled us to continue serving our customers while also growing our online sales.
Around this period, we established a small processing unit in Utawala to process meat cuts in bulk and supply a growing customer base.
An opportunity from one of our home-delivery customers encouraged Benito to explore the hotel and hospitality industry. Although we initially had limited experience supplying the HoReCa market, our team’s commitment, persistence and willingness to learn enabled us to develop the capacity required to serve this sector.
This experience significantly contributed to our growth and understanding of professional meat processing and commercial customer requirements.
After almost three years of operating from our small Utawala processing unit, Benito pursued investment to support further expansion. We successfully secured USD 200,000 in funding, enabling the business to move to our current facility at KHL Business Park, Mlolongo.
The expanded facility allowed us to increase production capacity and introduce additional value-added products, including:
– Processed bacon
– Fresh and processed sausages
– Burgers
– Marinated meat products
– Smoked products
– Fresh meat cuts
Our journey continues to be driven by passion, continuous learning, innovation and the desire to serve our customers better.
