Our Story

Parent Company-  Sarwan Singh Bansal Ltd was established in 1957 in Nairobi, Kenya. The humble beginnings saw the company steadily grow with the increase in both domestic and regional demand for passenger transport and truck haulage.

The sudden demise of the founder at the age of only 56 years left a huge void which at the time seemed impossible to fill, as his heir Mr. M.S.Bansal was only 19 years old. With great courage and determination he took the reins of the company and has today evolved the company into one of the leading Bus & Coach Manufacturers in East Africa. 

Subsequently, Banbros Limited was incorporated in 1990 and started its operations in 1993 with a workforce of 50 people. In 1999, the construction of a new assembly plant was embarked upon and currently Banbros Limited operates from its state of the art workshop, which is second to none, other in this part of the world.

The company has a highly empowered workforce of over 200 people with various skills. Most of the employees are regularly trained in house and also by external trainers from India, South Africa and Europe.

Looking To The Future

Currently, Banbros is leading the way in terms of market presence, innovation and business practices. With an aggressive mentality and an ability to continually venture into new markets, Banbros is destined to be the largest Bus and Coach Manufactures in Sub-Saharan Africa.

However, In order for Banbros to continually extend its current market leading position and pioneer the way forward, as achieved in the past. We have outlined target goals, proposed long term investment plans and visions that are designed for us to focus and fulfil our future ambitions.

 Lately, we have embarked upon the process of expanding our current factory. After meticulous feasibility studies and sound planning, the decision of  pursuing this project was approved and it is forecasted to increase process control, accommodate more sophisticated equipment and double our current production capacity.  The architectural plans and approvals have been finalised and the construction has been initiated.
