Brand experiences are built to be seen, not to be thrown away. We design, print and fabricate so that what we make for a campaign can be reused, repaired or recycled, and we tell our clients the honest trade-offs of every material.
Eight stages, from the brief to the day a frame goes back out on another job. Choose a stage to see what we do and what you can ask for.
We ask how long the asset will live, where, and how many times it will be used, and agree its second life before design starts.
Standard sizes that fit modular frames, interchangeable graphics instead of new structures, and artwork laid out to waste less media.
Substrates with a known end of life, offered side by side with standard options, from Kenyan suppliers first.
Nesting jobs to cut offcuts, proofing on screen to avoid reprints, and offcuts separated by material at the machine.
Shared routes for installations, reusable blankets and crates instead of single-use wrap, and crews briefed and equipped for safety.
LED in lit signage, digital screens scheduled to sleep after hours, and maintenance visits that extend the asset's life.
De-rig with take-back: frames, lights and fittings inspected, repaired and stored for the next activation.
Frames redeployed with fresh graphics; what cannot be reused goes by material stream to licensed handlers, and offcuts can be upcycled.
Indicative guidance from our production team, so you can brief with confidence. Every project is quoted on its own merits.

We say what is already in place and what is still in progress. You can hold us to it.
Exhibition stands, backdrops and displays designed as systems: frames that come back, graphics that change.
Lower-impact substrates and inks offered on every quote, with the honest trade-offs explained.
Offcuts, board, metal and e-waste separated in the workshop and handed to licensed handlers, as the Sustainable Waste Management Act 2022 requires.
LED lighting in signage and lightboxes, and digital screens scheduled to switch off when nobody is watching.
Kenyan suppliers first, paid on time, on eTIMS invoices, under our Supplier Purchasing Terms.
Every installation crew briefed, equipped and paid fairly; casual workers registered and protected.
We publish a figure only after we have measured it, together with what it covers.
We are measuring our baseline for the financial year July 2026 to June 2027. Our first figures will be published here, with the method behind each one.
What each rule means for a brand activation, and how we handle it for you.

For your activation: our workshop and de-rigs separate waste by stream and use licensed handlers only.
Gazetted in November 2024: producers of packaging, electronics, textiles, plastics and more must register with NEMA and fund take-back and recycling, alone or through a producer responsibility organisation.
