Bugesera Special Economic Zone, Rwanda.
A purpose-built, vertically integrated manufacturing campus combining nonwoven fabric production with downstream converting under one roof.
From raw resin to finished product.
Kraetr's manufacturing architecture eliminates the structural vulnerability that defines every other player in the region: dependence on imported intermediate materials.
Raw Material Input
Polypropylene resin pellets, the base polymer for medical nonwovens, are the only imported input. Everything downstream is produced on-site.
SSMMS Nonwoven Production
A Spunbond-Spunbond-Meltblown-Meltblown-Spunbond line produces medical-grade nonwoven fabric with the layered barrier properties required for surgical and hygiene applications.
Converting Lines
Dedicated converting equipment transforms nonwoven fabric into finished products: baby diapers, surgical face masks, and the full range of surgical textile products.
Quality & Packaging
In-line quality testing, sterilization-compatible packaging, and lot traceability complete the manufacturing cycle. Every unit is traceable to its production batch.
Purpose-built for this exact use case.
Special Economic Zone
Tax incentives, streamlined permitting, and infrastructure designed for export-oriented industrial tenants.
Strategic Location
Adjacent to Bugesera International Airport and connected to major East African trade corridors.
