The catering facility has 1,200m² of production area featuring equipment. It will serve as certified halal customer service centre (CSC).

LSG Group CEO Erdmann Rauer said: “Our two countries, Kenya and Germany, have been working together in close collaboration for more than 50 years in terms of political, economic and cultural exchanges.

“It is, therefore, natural that we looked into the opportunity to establish a presence in Kenya.”

LSG Sky Chefs entered Africa in 1978 through a joint venture in Cairo. The company currently operates seven CSCs in Angola, Egypt, Nigeria, South Africa and Tanzania.
