African Cotton has been in the manufacturing, supply and distribution of Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) space in East Africa for over 50 years and is the leading manufacturer of cotton wool in East and Central Africa. Formed in 1954, the company has grown into an organisation with operations in Nairobi and Mombasa, running several manufacturing and production lines, and employing over 400 staff across East Africa. Our range of quality products is extensive, covering cotton wool, ear buds, feminine towels, toilet paper and tissue products – and we have been the supplier of choice in the region for medical products such as gauze, surgical dressings and gloves (examination and surgical). Our clients range from large retail chains to Governments and International NGOs, making brands such as Dove®, Tena® and Flora® household names across markets including Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, South Sudan and the Congo. African Cotton has in recent years seen significant growth, growing steadily at over 20% per annum during the past 5 years. Our investments of over KES 200m (USD 2.5m) into the region over the past decade have echoed the drive to grow as a local and regional player. This began in 2002 with the implementation of a toilet paper converting plant, in 2005 with a modern European state-of-the-art sanitary towel wings manufacturing plant - the only such facility in Kenya, a napkin converting & secondary toilet paper converting facility in 2008, and the recent acquisition in 2009 of a new 5-acre operations facility in Nairobi. The firm has ambitious growth targets in the short-medium term, and with the backing of a strong team and region that has seen extensive growth in recent times, will be looking to surpass these expectations in the new decade – building Kenya through investments and employment.

With the increasing utilization of technology in the office, people are spending more and more time seated at their place of work, undertaking an increasing variety of tasks. The effects of this type of lifestyle are readily apparent as more and more people are becoming obese and suffering from the related health issues that are associated with persons who are confined to a desk.Another less-publicized problem from such a sedentary lifestyle is the related health issues that are derived directly from all those hours in that uncomfortable office chair that you have to endure everyday. Aches, pains, back problems and more can come about over time from an office chair that just isn’t suitable for you.Back problems can be caused by chairs that don’t offer adequate back support; these problems can stay with you for a lifetime and severely affect your daily activities, thus reducing your quality of life.Proper back support from your office chair is essential. Thus seating must fulfill the demand for greater flexibility placed on the modern office chair while offering a large number of options to adapt to its user: different backrest sizes, armrests, bases... etc. A quality armrest can help with tasks like reading and writing, taking pressure and tension off the neck and shoulders. In addition, their design and colours should adapt to the office environment.Truly, a working instrument participating in productivity and to the reduction of absenteeism, office chairs must respond to the imperative of being comfortably seated, by offering angle adjustments for the most favourable working position for all morphologies.Chair design considers intended usage, ergonomics, as well as non-ergonomic functional requirements such as size, stackability, foldability, weight, durability, stain resistance and artistic design. Intended usage determines the desired seating position. "Task chairs", or any chair intended for people to work at a desk or table, can only recline very slightly; otherwise the occupant is too far away from the desk or table.Ergonomic designs distributes the weight of the occupant to various parts of the body. When seated in the chair, your weight should be evenly distributed on the seat pan, which should have what’s known as a rounded, or waterfall edge for the seat front. You should be able to slide your fingers between your knees and the seat’s front edge as this posture will avoid reducing circulation to your legs and feet.Choosing the correct office chair will help you avoid health problems that could occur from the daily use of a poorly designed office chair. Various personalized products as well as follow up services will be available, with each product carrying a 3-year warranty. In addition, a proprietary technology for producing office seating; the C-GEX SYSTEM is used in the local production of the chairs to ensure efficiency and cost savings. To this end, the company has been paying Royalty per unit of chair produced using this technology. Sokoa Chair Centre is the only African Company so far allowed to use this proprietary technology for production.
