Excellent Interview & quite inspirational!! Looking forward to him finishing the Story...if there is a Part 2?! Keep up the good work Afrikan Traveller!
@@AfrikanTraveller when your done with proteq come to us.. We also make cnc machines.. We started by making a small prototype..now we have made three machines.. In the process of doing a laser fiber in near future... Honestly.. When I built my first machine I had never seen a cnc..
@@AfrikanTraveller hi am been trying to call the no you gave for fred the one building house for people i cant reach him could kindly check why? Am in Toronto Canada and am interested.
Mzeee, heshma jo. I have been a miller/Turner both online and offline for 20 years. I have worked with heidenhain and fanuc with turning machine with up to 13 axis. I always wanted to relocate and do what you have done but my biggest worry is the maintenance of these machines, everytime a machine broke down horrified me. I can also see you have personalised your production by having your own innovations. Your body structure also tells you have worked in production. Anyway, I chickened out and did a degree in agriculture and currently mastering in artificial intelligence and robotics in which I want to innovate for the agriculture sector while also using my mechanical/electrical engineering skills. HONGERA MZEE
I was thinking am the only one thinking about doing CNC machining stuff back at home. Have been amassing knowledge on this though sina degree in this field
@@mwanafalsafa3613 you don't need a degree. I did an apprenticeship here in the UK where you are fully trained for five years. There are small CNC machines that can fit on your dining room table where you can practice how ever much you want. But the technology is changing, now new companies are taking on 3D machines as the technology has advanced.
@@LightBulbMomentsKE most definitely I want to provide solutions to agribusiness companies in Kenya. With AI the solutions are endless, there are so many problems that can be solved while increasing efficiency for better productivity.
I have never been so keen on an interview! This is amazing. Kenya and Africa to the world. Mr Wachira needs to found his own school, those government institutions are inequipped thus dwelling much on theory. This knowledge must never go to waste.
Building a school would be a stretch. Rather, he could tutor, give talks as a subject matter expert or do part-time lecturing. That way, he can still have time to work on his business, which is a perfect case of 4IR in a developing country context.
I have always said Kenya is vastly underrated when it comes to the ingenuity and industriousness of the locals (read black/African) business. We are among the top 2 (in Africa) if not the top. Great job AT, keep the content coming!
Hats off to Kenyans. But Africans are intelligent in general bro, lots of minds like this in Nigeria too..the problem is security. If we had peace and stability, We would have been designing and building our own machines and cars.
But the government - KRA specifically - is a major impediment to enterprise. Government entities stifle business at the bidding of the deeply corrupt political class which doesn't want to be outshined by business owners because they would lose relevance. Notice how they fought Keroche and Humphrey Kariuki. We shall overcome!
Even South Africa with all the advances in their infrastructure have not enabled any black man to do what this Kenyan brother is doing. This is proper revolutionary stuff. Truly impressive stuff and a big thank you to Afrikan traveller. You are truly changing the narrative. WELL DONE!!!!!!
Gives me a swell of pride seeing young Africans establishing innovative industries to solve the current economic issues. We need more such young industrious individuals. Keep it up and all the best! Rich health, wealth and future to you guys. Thanks Afrikan Traveller.
I am from India, Chennai City, Tamilnadu state. Much impressed they way you expressed the thrust /passions do you have to be materialized the way you want is amazing. The same way I also struggled for long time. Finally my ambitions not filled to my expectations. However you successfully implemented your dream come true with lot of efforts you put in. 👍👏👏👏
Very inspiring. With regulatory support we can be exporters of CNC machines and talent to Africa and beyond. PS: This episode would have benefited from the use of a script so that the story flows without repetitions and focusing on on the important points while doing away with unnecessary ones. Some B-rolls of equipment at work and finally editing to bring the full episode to 30 minutes max.
This is one of the most interesting video I have come across online more so a Kenyan story very very nice story...I am totally amazed..his is just unbelievable that this happens right here in Kenya. Thank you for this awesome interview. We need more of this kind of stuff.
It is extremely encouraging to hear a Kenyan talking with confidence as regards heavy industry. This is what we need to encourage by buying what is made locally. Keep it up Bw. Karanja, am really proud of you for putting Kenya on the map of industrialization, we shall be there soon because of people like you.
It's just but the beginning of industrial revolution in Kenya, these initiative is wholesome and I can guarantee you in the next 10 - 15 years if we continue with the same spirit, the amount of export from Kenya will definitely be more than import. Let's choose our leaders wisely also, they can either destroy or make the great future of Kenya
Wow...this left me speechless!Amazing.This person needs to become a highly prized property of the Govt. He can literally change the continent and beat China and the world if his ideas are implemented in large scale.
I could tell early on in the video that he was both innovative and, more importantly, very in touch with the current and future needs of his local market. Very impressive.
This is so inspiring.there are people who studied design and technology a long time ago, but coming to the market, there's very little they could do due to lack of machinery and exposure, so they ventured into other careers.if this concepts are implemented on large scale, African countries will need very few imports in the near future.a country's economy can be boosted in a big way through manufacturing. I have to visit this site and learn more
I haven't watched a one hour clip continuously before, well done Mr. Wachira and all who supported you so far. Way to go for the Kenyan/African daring great minds. Is anyone in Government and policy making watching such success stories? How can they support the sector for further inward-looking innovation and production? As for the Wachira's in the house, how can you mentor and expose the upcoming engineers with the passion and zeal but are comfortable in the "fear of starting" zone? Afrikan Traveller Thank you for showing us what is out there..... Hongera.
Seeing an African with the passion to change the continent technologically is so motivating . We need more people like this. I am a trained mechanical engineer and it breaks my heart seeing how nothing serious is being manufactured in Africa. The students I met in Nigeria are way more intelligent than the students I met in North America, they are unmatched. I know it's thesame story in Kenya, Africans are intelligent! It's heartbreaking seeing our graduates do nothing serious after graduating just because of the corruption in the continent. Don't let anybody fool you, Africans can build better airplanes, better cars, better rockets, better machines, better gas turbines than what we have in the market today. God bless this man.. Africans wake up and start building, start changing your Continent for good..✊🏿
Man to man - visionary to visionary. A lot of people will not understand what this guy is saying but this guy here is next level. I major in global international business. Someone like me with someone like this - we can change the Africa.
So inspiring!! Clearly expressed that missing connection between academics and book knowledge to practical application, what has been keeping Kenya behind. To the visionless politicians, here is how we can get ahead to create jobs and not depend on everything foreign........
This entrepreneur understands his industry very well. He's absolutely correct, with the internet African youths can bridge the development gap and develop the continent in a short amount of time.
It's time we forget about the fake "Mainstream media" and be the creators and distributors of progressive content about the real Africa, the growing Alkebulan.
What main stream media? You love to blame main stream media. When nobody is stopping you or any other person from showing or promoting themselves. Nobody!
Met Mr Wachira at our engineering expo at Moi University. I was intrigued listening to him then and even now in this interview. Thank you for covering this sir.
Love this. As a person that thinks about Africa all the time. This it’s almost moving me to tears - I’m really happy. Most will not understand what I’m saying but this is so so so so so important. 😀😀😀 I’m so happy watching this. Ok I’m moving to part 2.
That's great and we're gonna make Africa great but it will only start when you and start changing ideas into realities mind you that the people who are crazy to bring change to this world are actually those who do it. Africa will be great again. Thankyou
No, actually what we need is thousands of people like him tapping into different levels of manufacturing in Kenya and Africa as a whole. Unemployment will be almost non- existence in Kenya
This is great and very inspiring a,let them know kenyans have brains and integrity Bravo to Macharia and Afrikana journal we couldnt have known if you didnt do this job.Proud of you. train more and poverty is gonna be history inkenya.God bless you all.
This is incredible. A very correct way of thinking in catching up with manufacturing and industrialisation in Africa. It is also proof that we have the brains in.our midst to do what it takes. Wish you the very best and to be able to develop this dream.Will come sometime to Nairobi to see this dream.
Thank you host for making it a long video it was worth every minute,I never pressed any button. Keep on bringing this top notch content it's easier,to do other show bizz, stuff that attract more views .but you decided to do this thank you . It's the most insightful interview. I have ever watched in +254.
Simon is a great friend, we worked with him while at KCB Foundation and his vision and futuristic thought on industrialization are always inspiring. Keep on Simon 👍⚡🔥
What ! This is owesome ...one of the best interview, I have always said that the gorvernment should create an enabling envinroment for business to thrive....this is soo inspirational this guy can team up with many entrepreneurs....and make...their dreams come true ....I can now understand why need a marshal plan regarding manufacturing which is part of uhuru kenyatta big 4 ,I still feel there is a lot of gaps that need to be closed ,
Great interview. I like how he has a forward thinking agenda and a conviction to do something so beneficial to the wider continent. We need Kenyans that can think about and do things bigger than themselves like this. We should not be envying and praising our politicians who get wealthy by looting our tax money.
Thank you God for this guy. May you preserve him and cause him to bring about the much needed industrial revolution of Africa by supporting the true growth of modern mechanical innovations in all sectors in Jesus' name, Amen. The best video I have watched on UA-cam for all time!!!
good work bro i have a project of making standing lamp and wall brackets but i didn't no where to make perfect dies for my production when i get money but you have open my eyes i dint no same think perfect can be made in kenya congratulation proteq manze big up we need kenyas youth like you to change and build our wee country thanks manze
WOW! I am simply blown away by this innovative and unique piece of modern technology. I believe this will boost Africa's industrialisation! Happy to see young Kenyan engineers and their ingenuity. Keep it up :)
This gentleman bis doing what numerical machining complex was meant to do, but then !!! Just wondering how much impact it would have to the country industrialization of state prop this guy's idea to the fullest ! Way to go .
This is really cutting edge, congratulations. Some folks might not understand, even the KCB Lions could not. There is huge opportunity, especially once you tap into the large informal sector needs. I will obviously visit.
This is mind blowing, and I could never imagine we have this enterprise in Kenya, with this well equipped industrial machines and tools I think we can produce anything here. I am a Professional PCB Designer, firmware developer and prototyping. Sir you should consider bringing a PCB fabrication and component population in Kenya, we have a serious gap in Africa.
Hello @@simonmuthike , thank you for the complement, My challenge at the moment is the starting capital; am a young engineer in the field, and to be specific the starting capital for these machines are quite high. However, you can fund this project and this would be a great move for Kenya for Africa. It may look like We do not need these machines in Africa but i think as at 21st C, they are essential, we have so many startups which needs quick fabrications, We need to view this in the bigger picture, a case scenario, learning kits can be manufactured locally in our countries. Why do we have to buy a simple learning kit for electronic engineers and other students at high cost and we can do massive production in Kenya. I wish we can have an investor in this sector.
Thanks Afrikaner Traveller for this content of Kenyan Innovation.If Kenya Manufacturing is too take off we need to bring the cost of production down mostly in utilities of electricity,water and transportation.Kenya needs invest in energy sector through the reliable geothermal as we have over 10,000Mw geothermal energy(Mostly in Kerio Valley) compared to less then 700Mw currently.We need to invest in carbon capture technology to create rain that will bring plentiful of water in Kenya we already investing in road networks, but we need to invest in modern SGR railway network in all economical active areas for fast safe and cheap reliable transportation.
It's one year down that I have stumbled across this interiew! My congratulations to you, Simon, that you are among the few in our country leading us into the right direction. There is so much opportunity here and the gap in the modern manufacturing methods is what you have sealed!
I see myself in this man. I reason exactly as he is. I have started building my CNC router and plasma cutters working hard to go even beyond where he's as a Ghanaian. Good work man.
I'm in awe,thanks Mr Wachira for showing us the way..I hope many upcoming mechanical engineer s can learn from this and help build a manufacturing bade
Whooooooaaaaa. This is so crucial. Respect to this guy. I’m definitely becoming a customer in the near future for some moulds. Was worried I may have to go to China. Respect 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I like this very much. I’m in the U.K. and I work for some of the c largest multinationals. My goal is to come to Africa to setup businesses and education for our young people. I need to connect with this gentleman.
A protege; one of and kind. Come to mind, Elon Musk does the same at a different level. Except all the machines were idle. Where is Brand Kenya when needed?
I am a mechanical engineering student, and I like what this guy is doing. He has potential for manufacturing a lot of things, I hope he will be successful and scale up.
Wooooooow woooooooow! Thanks for the great work you are doing. Maximum respect for you. Am leaving in Uganda and for long I've been having issues on what I want to do but which needs molds and I was hesitant to put together cash to go to China. Am very happy that you guys are now doing this kind of work back here in Africa. Please help me with your contact so that I can get in touch with you. Although am also of the view that why don't you go the Elon Musk way were you strip machines and trying to manufacture piece by piece or make molds for these different pieces.
I cant imagine listening to a Kenyan with this great knowledge. This is where i belong. I have been watching Cnc machines yutubes from abroad kube kenya tuko nazo. Kudus bratha i will visit your godown.
Such an excellent interview. I gained so much inspiration and motivation from this. In how he find a way to manufacture in Kenya. As a fellow Engineer I can really relate to his way of thinking. We think more on the engineering part and ignore or don't know the business side, which is very important. Up to part 2! Much love from Ghana
Real matters real time I like it.here in Nederland I work for cables en recycling we use machines of all sorts happing in Kenya it's a big uuuup.thank you African traveller
Amazing to hear someone who is passionate and bring the energy to Upgrade the local manufacturing and construction industry by using almost every from locally available materials, knowledge and experiences! Love to work with this kind of person... please do pass my at most appropriating to this amazing guy. Yes we can do it locally. It's also an eye opener for most Africans and many young people around the continent!
Excellent and inspiring interview. It's wonderful to meet inspiring business people like this in Africa. He is real, down to earth and positive. Thank you for this interview. I'd love to meet him when in Nairobi. Great job!
Peace and love happiness to you'll learning experiences and skills. Thanks for bringing your own individual African creator created creation of your freedom. Speaking truth and actions in your own humanity experiences and employment and empowerment. I'm in this serious learning environment initiative. Imagine interducing these ways an module to the table of other projects sharing within the African continent. This is seriously conscious and great thinkers educationers Kings and bodies for the African continent
That's excellent work from both of u,The extent of his vision is exceptional.Thats the way forward,showing the light at the end of the tunnel.Hope to be the next.

Why do we have to buy a simple learning kit for electronic engineers and other students at high cost and we can do massive production in Kenya. I wish we can have an investor in this sector.
If we assemble all men out there
We may land in mars in few years.
@@mengichlagat You are right Job, We can do a lot !
Hello Aron, kindly check numericalIoT, they are the only company doing this (PCB and motherboard production) in Kenya
Thanks Afrikaner Traveller for this content of Kenyan Innovation.If Kenya Manufacturing is too take off we need to bring the cost of production down mostly in utilities of electricity,water and transportation.Kenya needs invest in energy sector through the reliable geothermal as we have over 10,000Mw geothermal energy(Mostly in Kerio Valley) compared to less then 700Mw currently.We need to invest in carbon capture technology to create rain that will bring plentiful of water in Kenya we already investing in road networks, but we need to invest in modern SGR railway network in all economical active areas for fast safe and cheap reliable transportation.
It's one year down that I have stumbled across this interiew! My congratulations to you, Simon, that you are among the few in our country leading us into the right direction. There is so much opportunity here and the gap in the modern manufacturing methods is what you have sealed!
Man this is amazing! Thanks for the rich content. I would like to connect with this company being US based, we can probably work together.
This is quite an inspiration to the country & that industry. The future is bright. On a lighter note, Mr Wachira resembles Dr Dre…doppelganger 😀
Absolutely. This is Dr Dre Kabisa 😀
How I I wish you those in government can watch this so that this wonderful person can be supported cause he means well for the country of kenya
There's nothing as depressing as having an idea, and not being able to actualize due to lack of resources
So true
Very painful indeed. Please don't let those ideas fade away keep them in notes and one day you'll have the luxury of implementing them.
I see myself in this man. I reason exactly as he is. I have started building my CNC router and plasma cutters working hard to go even beyond where he's as a Ghanaian. Good work man.
Would like to partner.
@@subarukenya448 of course
Nice one let's do it
@@simonmuthikewe've been down for so long
I'm in awe,thanks Mr Wachira for showing us the way..I hope many upcoming mechanical engineer s can learn from this and help build a manufacturing bade
Brilliant my brother this is wonderful progress unity is strength
Whooooooaaaaa. This is so crucial. Respect to this guy. I’m definitely becoming a customer in the near future for some moulds. Was worried I may have to go to China. Respect 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I like this very much. I’m in the U.K. and I work for some of the c largest multinationals. My goal is to come to Africa to setup businesses and education for our young people.
I need to connect with this gentleman.
yoυ aѕ well coмe тo υganda
*_This guy is a genius, awesome content._*
A protege; one of and kind. Come to mind, Elon Musk does the same at a different level.
Except all the machines were idle.
Where is Brand Kenya when needed?
I am a mechanical engineering student, and I like what this guy is doing. He has potential for manufacturing a lot of things, I hope he will be successful and scale up.
Wooooooow woooooooow! Thanks for the great work you are doing. Maximum respect for you. Am leaving in Uganda and for long I've been having issues on what I want to do but which needs molds and I was hesitant to put together cash to go to China. Am very happy that you guys are now doing this kind of work back here in Africa. Please help me with your contact so that I can get in touch with you. Although am also of the view that why don't you go the Elon Musk way were you strip machines and trying to manufacture piece by piece or make molds for these different pieces.
kind of thing i wanna learn this so infomative ...so you guys compalining about our home see how we make it ....african traveller big up
Great story! Very inspiring interview. I pray for much success to you both and Kenya as a whole.
One Afrika, One ❤️
May Almighty God bless you my brother and open great doors for you which will remain permanently open. Congratulations.
Great job AT, can't wait for part 2
In a shortwhile
Wow... What an inspiration! And the dilemma! I'm really hanging!
I cant imagine listening to a Kenyan with this great knowledge. This is where i belong. I have been watching Cnc machines yutubes from abroad kube kenya tuko nazo. Kudus bratha i will visit your godown.
Such an excellent interview. I gained so much inspiration and motivation from this. In how he find a way to manufacture in Kenya. As a fellow Engineer I can really relate to his way of thinking. We think more on the engineering part and ignore or don't know the business side, which is very important. Up to part 2! Much love from Ghana
The best interview I have seen so far
Innovative, impressive, powerful and most of all... very inspiring. Well done!
So inspiring milestones, I gotta check in Proteq soon for my industrial CNC projects.. Thanks for coming out through the Afrikan Traveller..
Real matters real time I like it.here in Nederland I work for cables en recycling we use machines of all sorts happing in Kenya it's a big uuuup.thank you African traveller
Thanks so much for this content. I prefer more B Roll during such wonderful interviews.
Noted
Amazing to hear someone who is passionate and bring the energy to Upgrade the local manufacturing and construction industry by using almost every from locally available materials, knowledge and experiences! Love to work with this kind of person... please do pass my at most appropriating to this amazing guy. Yes we can do it locally. It's also an eye opener for most Africans and many young people around the continent!
