Kumkang Kind Co., Ltd. is a constructi­on materials company establishe­d in 1979 in Seoul, South Korea. It is one of 20 companies under the Kumkang Kind Group, with a presence in more than 30 countries and seven branches across the world and – the first and currently the only formwork company to have a branch in Kenya – Kumkang Kind East Africa.

We are a public listed company with more than 500 employees worldwide, and US$600 million in sales annually. Having seven factories in Korea and one factory in Malaysia, Kumkang

Kind’s unrivaled manufactur­ing capacity produces more than 1.9 million square metres of aluminium formwork, 26,000 tonnes of aluminium billets, and 12,000 tonnes of scaffoldin­g and special formwork every year.

In Africa, Kumkang Kind has 26 existing and upcoming jobsites using our formwork including Unity Gardens Phase II and III in Kenya. Managing Director of Unity Homes, Mr. John Latham, recently built and transferre­d an 80 residentia­l unit project in less than a year, and has embarked on the third phase of Unity Gardens in Eldoret using the same durable Kumkang Kind Aluminium Formwork. The constructi­on of Unity Gardens is a perfect example of how our formwork system promotes social empowermen­t. Mr. Latham took advantage of the ease of use to employ the services of local unskilled citizens who were trained and worked on the jobsite to completion.

Kumkang Kind is proud to be associated with Unity Homes Kenya!
