Operations
Tea is grown by a Sasini subsidiary, Kipkebe Limited, which operates two major CTC factories (Kipkebe and Keritor) serving four estates in Western Kenya, with a combined production capacity of over 8.5 million kilograms of tea annually. Tea is exported by Sasini to Egypt and the United Kingdom among others.
Coffee The company's coffee plantations are located at altitude in central Kenya with facilities in Kiambu District and Nyeri District. Sasini's Mweiga Estate in Nyeri District has an airstrip capable of transshipment of planeloads of not less than 5,700 bags of coffee. Sasini's timing and vast resources has made it possible for it to capitalize on the gross mismanagement by Kenya planters coffee union (K.P.C.U).
Dairy and Horticulture Sasini's dairy division produces milk and flavored yogurts, as well as producing milk for sale to the food industry in general. Its horticulture division is growing, producing such vegetables as peas and corn.
Retail coffee shops Sasini has recently started rolling out coffee shops in Nairobi, with aim to spread outside Kenya. This is seen as a valuable addition to shareholders. They sell packaged versions of their products, as well as mugs, brewing necessities, and tea balls.

Famous quotes containing the word operations:
“A sociosphere of contact, control, persuasion and dissuasion, of exhibitions of inhibitions in massive or homeopathic doses...: this is obscenity. All structures turned inside out and exhibited, all operations rendered visible. In America this goes all the way from the bewildering network of aerial telephone and electric wires ... to the concrete multiplication of all the bodily functions in the home, the litany of ingredients on the tiniest can of food, the exhibition of income or IQ.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“It may seem strange that any road through such a wilderness should be passable, even in winter, when the snow is three or four feet deep, but at that season, wherever lumbering operations are actively carried on, teams are continually passing on the single track, and it becomes as smooth almost as a railway.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“There is a patent office at the seat of government of the universe, whose managers are as much interested in the dispersion of seeds as anybody at Washington can be, and their operations are infinitely more extensive and regular.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
