One factory. Every kind of building.
Kowkab steel is already going up on houses, markets and warehouses across the Somali Region and beyond.
Residential
Homes & villas
From a family compound in Jigjiga to a new villa in Dire Dawa — colour roofs that stay bright under strong sun and need little upkeep.
Commercial
Shops, offices & hotels
A sharp roof and facade tell customers you mean business. Box-profile cladding gives clean lines that last.
Industrial
Warehouses & factories
Deep-rib sheets cover wide spans with fewer joints, keeping stock dry and buildings strong along the trade corridor.
Agricultural
Farms, stores & livestock shelters
Galvanised sheets that are quick to fit and tough enough for grain stores, animal shelters and rural homes.
Strength, style & all-weather protection.
Every Kowkab sheet is made to handle what East African buildings face for years: sun, rain, dust and load.
01The Kowkab promise
Every sheet and bar leaves our gate checked and backed by our team.
02Zinc-coated steel core
A protective zinc layer under the paint keeps the steel from rusting.
03Built for our sun
Made for the heat and strong sun of the Somali Region.
04Anti-corrosion protection
Coatings resist rust, dust and moisture for a longer roof life.
05All-weather protection
Rib profiles shed heavy rain fast and stand up to wind and dust.
06Lasting colour finish
Even, glossy colour coats in red, blue, black and brown.
07Strength & durability
Deep ribs keep sheets rigid under load and across long spans.
