About Pemter Group
We build things that last.
Pemter began in 2018 with a simple belief: East Africa already has the ingredients for world-class brands. It needs people willing to build properly.
The short version
Great raw material. Careful craft. Good technology.
So that is what we do. We start with what the region does best: its forests, its farms, its botanicals, its craft and its service culture. We add careful research, good technology and a little pride in delivery.
We run our own businesses, resell software we trust, and keep a research bench busy behind the scenes, because curiosity is how good ideas become good products.
The result is a growing family of brands, each with its own personality and all with the same standard.
How we do things
Four habits we do not break
Local first
We source and make close to home, and we know our partners by name.
Tested before launch
Research comes first. We would rather launch late than launch half-ready.
Honest about origins
We tell you where things come from and how they are made.
Easy to reach
One WhatsApp number, real people, a reply within one working day.
