Introduction to Sereni Fries Limited
Humphry Mburu, originally a banker, fulfilled his entrepreneurial dream in 2012 by founding Sereni Fries to cater to Kenya's growing hospitality industry with fresh potato products. The company, officially registered in March 2015, started with two staff members, and has since grown to 47 permanent and 13 casual employees, with branches in Nairobi, Mombasa, and Nakuru. Sereni sources potatoes directly from local farmers, processing them into fresh potato products such as chips. The company supplies fresh potato products to the hospitality industry and chips to retailers in Nairobi, Mombasa, and Nakuru. With plans to become a supplier for a major fast-food chain in Kenya, Sereni Fries aims to further expand, benefiting the local potato farmers it collaborates with.
