Factory Movers in Nairobi

Factory & Industrial Movers in Nairobi – How Dial and Move Kenya Relocated Malmonth Chrome Plating Factory

Moving a factory is arguably the most technically demanding type of relocation in the moving industry. It involves heavy industrial machinery, hazardous materials, specialist equipment, and the need to minimize production downtime — all while ensuring the safety of the crew and the integrity of the machinery. Dial and Move Kenya has proven its capability in this arena with the successful relocation of Malmonth Chrome Plating Factory from Nairobi's Industrial Area to Embakasi, next to Coca-Cola.

As the most trusted movers in Nairobi for industrial and factory relocations, this case study demonstrates our technical expertise, logistical capability, and commitment to zero-damage, zero-injury industrial moves.

The Client: Malmonth Chrome Plating Factory

Malmonth Chrome Plating is an established industrial manufacturer specializing in chrome plating services for the Kenyan market. Chrome plating factories involve highly specialized and heavy industrial equipment including electroplating tanks, rectifiers, chemical storage systems, ventilation infrastructure, overhead cranes, and precision finishing machinery. The factory needed to relocate from its long-standing premises in Nairobi's Industrial Area to a new, larger facility in Embakasi, adjacent to the Coca-Cola plant.

The Challenge

The Malmonth Chrome Plating Factory relocation presented some of the most complex challenges our team has ever faced.

Hazardous Materials

Chrome plating involves the use of hazardous chemicals including chromic acid, sulfuric acid, and other industrial compounds. These required specialist handling, appropriate containment, and compliance with Kenya's environmental and safety regulations during transport.

Heavy and Specialist Machinery

The factory's electroplating tanks, rectifiers, and finishing machinery were extremely heavy, some weighing several tonnes, and required specialist rigging, cranes, and heavy-duty transport vehicles.

Precision Equipment

Chrome plating machinery is precision-calibrated. Any damage or misalignment during the move could result in costly recalibration or replacement of equipment worth millions of shillings.

Production Downtime

Every day the factory was offline cost the client significant revenue. The move had to be executed as quickly as possible to minimize production downtime.

Access and Logistics

Both the Industrial Area origin and the Embakasi destination required careful logistics planning for heavy vehicle access, crane positioning, and safe maneuvering of oversized loads.

Our Approach

Pre-Move Engineering Assessment

Our professional movers Nairobi industrial team conducted a detailed engineering assessment of the Malmonth factory. We inventoried every piece of equipment, assessed weights and dimensions, identified access challenges at both sites, and developed a comprehensive relocation plan in consultation with the factory's engineering team.

Hazardous Materials Planning

We worked with specialist hazardous materials handlers to plan the safe drainage, containment, and transport of all chemical compounds. All hazardous material transport complied fully with Kenya's environmental and safety regulations.

Specialist Equipment and Rigging

We deployed heavy-duty cranes, industrial forklifts, machinery skates, hydraulic dollies, and flatbed trucks rated for the heaviest loads. Our certified riggers planned and executed the lifting and loading of each major piece of machinery with precision.

Phased Relocation

To minimize production downtime, we executed the move in carefully planned phases. Non-critical equipment and support infrastructure were moved first, followed by the primary production machinery. This allowed the client to maintain partial operations for as long as possible during the transition.

Coordination with Factory Engineers

Our team worked hand-in-hand with Malmonth's engineering team throughout the move. Engineers supervised the disconnection of all machinery at the Industrial Area site and the reconnection and recalibration at the new Embakasi facility.

The Result

The Malmonth Chrome Plating Factory was successfully relocated from Industrial Area to Embakasi with zero equipment damage, zero safety incidents, and minimal production downtime. The new Embakasi facility was operational significantly faster than the client had anticipated, thanks to our efficient, well-planned execution. The factory's proximity to the Coca-Cola plant in Embakasi also provided improved logistics access for the client's supply chain.

"Moving a chrome plating factory is not something you trust to just any moving company. Dial and Move Kenya brought the engineering expertise, the specialist equipment, and the professionalism to execute this move perfectly. Our new Embakasi factory was up and running faster than we thought possible." — Management, Malmonth Chrome Plating Factory.
