Build Something That Matters
At Jetlak Foods, you do not just show up to work. You build products that feed families, support farming communities, and strengthen Kenya's food manufacturing industry. We have been doing this since 1994, and the people who make it happen are the reason we are still here.

Our Culture
What It's Like Here
Jetlak is not a startup. It is a 32-year-old company with the energy of one. We move quickly, we care deeply about what we make, and we back our people with the resources they need to do their best work.
Our 36% retention rate at eleven-plus years tells you something that no job listing can: people who join Jetlak tend to stay. They stay because the work matters, the leadership is invested, and the company grows alongside them.
Through Jetlak Cares, our team also gives back to the communities that support us, including our annual Christmas partnership with New Life Home Trust. Community involvement is not a corporate checkbox; it is part of who we are.
Growth From Within
Many of our senior team members started on the factory floor or in entry-level positions. We invest in internal development because the people who know our products and processes best are the ones already here.
Stability With Ambition
We have been around for 32 years, but we are not standing still. Recent launches like NuZiwa (plant-based oat drink) and Frosti show that we are always building towards what comes next.
Community Commitment
Through Jetlak Cares, our team participates in community initiatives throughout the year, not just at Christmas. Giving back is built into the culture.

The heart of our operation. Our manufacturing team runs the production lines that turn raw materials into the products Kenyan families trust. Roles span machine operation, quality control, line supervision, and process engineering.

Our QA team ensures every product meets KEBS standards and our own internal benchmarks. From raw material testing to final product verification, quality assurance professionals are involved at every stage.
Sales and Distribution
Our field teams work with retailers, wholesalers, and distributors across Kenya and the East African region. Sales roles range from territory management to key account partnerships.

Getting products from our Ruiru facility to shelves across the country requires skilled logistics. Our supply chain team manages procurement, warehousing, fleet coordination, and distribution planning.
