Years of Experience in Flower Sourcing and Logistics
A subsidiary of Wafex, Australia’s premier flower company, with offices in the USA (California), Kenya (Nairobi), Ecuador (Quito), Australia (Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane), and a global presence across twenty-six countries, this flower company has been operational in Kenya for close to twenty years primarily focused on sourcing and logistics into the Australian market.
But seven years ago, Wafex Kenya saw the opportunity to expand its business model to cater to the flower needs of its global customer base by sourcing and delivering to them Kenyan flowers. And with that, its services grew to cover more regions across the world. Thus, Wafex Kenya developed into one of the companies with a truly global reach; with branches that service clients across Australia, the United States, Kenya, and Ecuador, and a customer base that straddles the globe.
This development gave Wafex Kenya a global reach in terms of clients and products. The company has grown to be a trusted supplier of fresh flowers out of Kenya, to different countries across the world. If you need a specific flower from Kenya wherever you are, Wafex Kenya will definitely deliver it!

In the main, Wafex Kenya connects flower lovers and enthusiasts across the globe. The team works with wholesalers and retailers, and partners with Kuehne + Nagel Kenya, the regional office of the global transport and logistics company based in Schindellegi, Switzerland, to ensure the floral supply chain is maintained at all times.
Having a large grower network around East Africa ensures that Wafex Kenya can offer its customers across the world any flowers grown on any farm in Kenya, Ethiopia, and Tanzania, amongst others. And since Wafex Kenya works with premium growers from the region, and farms that are accredited and apply sustainable farming methods, it makes the company a unique sourcing partner for floral businesses anywhere in the world.
Because of the ideal climatic conditions, the region is largely a year-round grower of different flowers. You can be sure to find any variety of roses, summer flowers, foliage, and filler plants growing, regardless of the season where you are; be it in winter, spring, summer, or fall. And with Wafex Kenya, you are guaranteed to get a range of all floral products that come from the region, irrespective of the time of the year.
Notably is that Wafex Kenya only works with reputable flower growers in the region, and makes flower orders as per the customer’s specifications and desires. This is because customer satisfaction is at the core of its operations ensuring long-lasting partnerships.
