| From Soil to the Dining Table – a fitting tag line for the 2009 Manufacturing Industry Champion. Trufoods is one of Kenya’s leading food processing companies, manufacturing and marketing “in the kitchen” and “on the table” products. The Trufoods range includes peanut butter, jams, canned vegetables, sauces, tomato paste and beverages (hot and cold). From the outset the company’s vision was to produce leading food brands that would make their mark in the international market. The vision is well on its way to being achieved - Trufoods is home of the Zesta and Kenylon brands, which recently achieved SuperBrand status. The brands are indeed household names – many homes use at least one Trufoods product everyday. |

| “A thirty shilling investment that grew into the leader of the promotions Industry.” |
| By: Top Image | Date: 6 May 09 |
| Top Image was created in 1995 when its founder and CEO, Jennifer Barassa, found herself out of a job. Her friends encouraged her not to look for a job, but rather to start a business. She then realized that there were few professionally run promotional agencies and given her marketing skills and networks in the marketing profession, she saw sense in what her friends were saying. So she sat down in her sitting room to write her first business proposal. Her start up capital was a mere thirty shillings – to cover the cost of typing and printing the proposal. That proposal resulted in Top Image winning its first contract. “The rest, as they say, is history.” Jennifer says.
