Where is the steel you supply to Kenya produced?

At African mills within our regional production and sourcing base. Datum Limited is headquartered in Hong Kong, but the steel itself is made and moved in Africa.

What quantities do you handle for Kenyan buyers?

From a single truckload or container of one grade up to scheduled monthly call-offs for stockists and multi-phase project programmes.

Which standards can you supply against?

Common rebar, section and plate standards including ASTM, EN and BS equivalents. Where a Kenyan project requires KEBS-conformant material, we confirm the applicable standard and certification route before the order is placed.

How is quality controlled before dispatch?

Mill test certificates are reviewed against your specification and third-party inspection can be appointed at the mill before release.
