Tell us the building. We'll match the sheet.
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.
08Made in Jigjiga
Coil to finished sheet in our own factory — local supply, shorter waits.
09Quality checked
Thickness, profile and finish are inspected before dispatch.
The numbers behind the roof.
