About us

One product. Done properly.

RBL is an edible oil company based in Nairobi's Industrial Area. We import refined sunflower oil from an ISO-certified refinery in Tanzania and sell it in Kenya under our own brand.

Who we are

A trading company that behaves like a manufacturer

We do not own the refinery, and we do not pretend to. What we do own is the specification, the brand and the responsibility for every carton that carries our name.

RBL was established in 2024. Since then we have concentrated on the least glamorous part of this business: making sure the oil in a bottle sold in Kisumu in March is the same oil sold in Mombasa in September. That means a written specification, batch testing, retention samples and a single source of supply.

Our team works out of 10 Rangwe Road, in the heart of Nairobi's Industrial Area — close to the wholesalers, transporters and distribution routes our partners depend on.

Commercial operations begin in 2026. Ahead of that, we are appointing the distributors and trade accounts who will carry the brand into the market.

Our story

How RBL came together

Four quiet years of groundwork before a single bottle was sold.

  1. 2024

    RBL is established

    The company is registered in Nairobi with a single objective: bring a dependable sunflower oil brand to the Kenyan trade.

  2. 2024 – 2025

    Sourcing and specification

    We evaluate refineries across the region and sign a long-term agreement with an ISO-certified facility in Tanzania, agreeing a written specification for every batch.

  3. 2025

    Brand and packaging

    The RBL label is developed for five pack sizes, with the batch coding, nutrition panel and regulatory information required for packaged edible oil in Kenya.

  4. 2025 – 2026

    Trade partnerships

    Wholesalers, supermarkets, hotels and regional distributors are onboarded, and our Industrial Area depot is prepared for stock.

  5. 2026

    Commercial launch

    RBL Sunflower Oil goes on sale across Kenya through appointed distributors and direct trade accounts.

Mission

To make dependable, good-quality sunflower oil easy for any Kenyan business to buy.

We supply a single, consistent grade of refined sunflower oil in the pack sizes the market actually needs, with pricing and delivery terms our partners can plan around. We measure ourselves on repeat orders, not first orders.

Vision

To become one of Kenya's most trusted edible oil brands — earned shelf by shelf.

By 2030 we want RBL to be the sunflower oil a shopkeeper recommends without being asked, stocked in every major retail channel and used daily in professional kitchens across the country.

Consistency before scale

We would rather supply fewer partners properly than grow faster than our quality controls allow.

Honest trade terms

Pricing, delivery windows and territory rules are put in writing before the first order, not negotiated afterwards.

Kenyan market first

Pack sizes, carton counts and label information are set for how Kenyan shops and kitchens buy, not copied from elsewhere.

Traceable sourcing

One refinery, one specification, one long-term agreement. We know exactly where each batch comes from.
