For over decades, KAPA has been a beacon of excellence in providing household essentials. Our rich history is woven with a legacy of quality, trust, and innovation, making every KAPA product a story of enduring craftsmanship and reliability.
In the late 1960s, Karania Packers was founded as a producer of baking powder and salt packaging. Karania Packers expanded gradually and started making edible oils and cooking fats. It was then dubbed Kapa Oil Refineries Ltd.
In addition to the cooking oils and edible oils, Kapa started manufacturing a premium detergent powder, Toss - that took the detergent powder market by storm. Toss has been and still is the market leader in the detergent powder category.
With continual research and development, Kapa saw opportunities in the FMCG industry and proceeded to manufacture different varieties of laundry soap bars, followed by margarine, glycerine and luxury toilet soaps.
In keeping with the innovative spirit at Kapa Oil Refineries, we became the first local manufacturer of noodles, introducing the Numi Instant Noodles brand that has 3 flavours which are Numi Chicken BBQ, Numi Chicken PiriPiri and Numi Veg Mchuzi Mix. We also introduced a second variant of Prestige Margarine that is enhanced with Vanilla Flavour, best for spreading and baking purposes.
During this time, Kapa also cemented its commitment to quality by being certified the prestigious ISO 9001:2008 award for its 'Quality Management Systems' in the manufacture of cooking fats, edible oils, margarine, baking powder, laundry soaps and glycerine.
