Who we are
Built in Nairobi.
Built for East African roads.
Identity Auto Fabricators is an NTSA-approved vehicle body builder on Nairobi's Mombasa Road industrial corridor. We design and build custom bodies for minibuses, high-capacity buses, matatus, trucks, tippers and fluid tankers, each one tailored to how the vehicle will actually work.

How we build
From blueprint to handover
We use modular assembly: standardised structural frames with customised interior fittings. That keeps build times short and quality consistent without limiting your specification.
- 01AssessWe start with how the vehicle will work: routes, loads, passengers and your chassis.
- 02EngineerYour operating needs become engineering blueprints and a fixed specification.
- 03Cut & framePrecision metal cutting and structural framing on modular jigs.
- 04Panel & finishPanel assembly, surface finishing, rust-proofing, paint and livery.
- 05Fit outElectrical wiring, seating, lighting and interior fittings.
- 06Inspect & hand overMulti-stage structural, electrical and roadworthiness checks, then handover with a 2-year warranty.

“The making of a vehicle body fabrication business”
Nation reporter Margaret Maina visited our Mombasa Road plant. The story covers how the company started during the Covid-19 pandemic with nine employees and grew to more than 200 staff building buses, matatus, trucks, tippers and tankers for East Africa.
“Our immediate operational goal is to scale output beyond 1,000 units in the coming year. Over the long term, we are positioning the new facility for an annual capacity of 3,000 units.”
