Brookside is synonymous to quality milk. Our belief in providing products that satisfy and gratify is envisioned in our tagline “Goodness for all.” Brookside is the leading diary in East Africa and has operations in more than 12 countries across 2 continents. We are also the home to Ilara, Tuzo, Molo Milk and Delamere which are Kenya’s most loved milk brands. We were the first to introduce long life milk to the market along with Tetra Park packaging. We continue to look forward to transforming the diary industry in Africa and beyond. Sometimes, good things happen more by accident than by design, like the birth of Brookside Dairy in 1993. Milk production in Kenya was at its lowest with farmers in despair after the sole dairy company suddenly collapsed. There was a milk surplus in the market, but nobody to process it. From this difficult moment, a small enterprise was set up at Kahawa Sukari Ranch with about 20 employees hand packaging 1,000 liters of milk a day. Its name: Brookside Dairy.
