Its origins date back to 1910 when members of the family first set foot in East Africa and established a trading company.

OUR CORE STRENGTHS
MANUFACTURING
AGRICULTURE
Our agricultural operations are mainly based in the Lango sub-region of Northern Uganda and
extend to West Nile, Bunyoro, and parts of Eastern Uganda and cover over 30 districts.
LOGISTICS AND SUPPLY CHAIN
Our extensive distribution network with a fleet of 200 heavy, medium, and light trucks alongside smaller commuter delivery pickups and vans enables us to avail our entire range of products in good condition to consumers at their designated destinations within the delivery times agreed.
The Mukwano Industries Uganda Ltd. began operations in the early 1980s in Kampala, Uganda with a single enterprise store dealing in general merchandise and produce.
The first major step in the growth of the company was taken in 1986, in the direction of the manufacturing of soap and edible cooking oil. These were the mainstay of the company until the late 1990s when we made a major investment in the manufacturing of detergents and plastic products. This etched Mukwano’s position at the helm of the manufacturing sector.
Additional investment into the production of personal care products such as petroleum jelly and Packaged drinking water further extended our presence in the Fast Moving Consumer Goods market segments.
We diversified our business portfolio by investing heavily in agriculture, property (estate) development, and logistics.
Today, Mukwano Industries Uganda Ltd. employs over 7,000 staff directly and indirectly within our various companies and are among the top 10 largest taxpayers in Uganda.
