Founded in 1998 with a small plant, office, and single van, Match Masters Limited (MML) has grown into one of Africa’s leading manufacturers of wooden and wax safety matches. With a clear vision to lead in quality and innovation, we launched our flagship brand Rhino/Kifaru, followed by other trusted names including Farasi, Kasuku, Tinga, Flora, and Paka.

Through continuous investment in advanced technology, product innovation, and a strong distribution network, we have built market leadership in Kenya, Tanzania, and across East Africa. Today, MML employs 500+ staff, operates a fleet of over 20 vehicles, and partners with one of the region’s largest distributor networks — ensuring our brands reach millions of consumers daily.

At MML, our commitment remains the same: delivering quality, value, and choice through trusted brands that light up homes and businesses across Africa.
