About Us
Viscar Industrial Capacity Limited was incorporated in 2008 with a single flagship offering: the Engineering Graduate Development Program (EGDP), designed to close the gap between engineering graduates and industry-ready engineers. What began as a training intervention has grown into a full-spectrum engineering and technology partner.
Over the years, Viscar’s scope expanded deliberately and in step with the needs of the industries we serve, from graduate development into industrial training, then into consultancy, and today into end-to-end engineering projects covering design, installation, testing and commissioning, alongside industrial technical support and managed services. Each stage of this growth has been anchored on the same principle: building local engineering capacity that can compete globally.
Today, Viscar is incorporated in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, and has delivered training, consultancy and project assignments across the wider African continent, including in Rwanda, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Malawi, Zimbabwe and South Africa.
Co-creating engineering and emerging technology capabilities for sustainable industrial growth.
To be Africa's premier catalyst for excellence in engineering and emerging technology.
A mature organization powered by autonomous business units.
Viscar Industrial Capacity Ltd started as a training firm with offices shared on Imani House along Parliament Road, Nairobi. It aimed to transform fresh graduate Engineers with its brainchild solution- the Engineering Graduate Development Programme (EGDP).
This solution helped bridge the gap between Engineering and ICT academic qualifications and industry skills demand through hands-on knowledge and skills transfer.
We solved a gap in Engineering technology by introducing corporate training. We also resourced for companies requiring technical resources and products. Through this, we successfully deployed our engineers through Ericsson Kenya Ltd to roll out the Safaricom Digital city project
Resourcing as a product broadly grew. We were then able to provide Safaricom with engineers working at its Network Operation Centre (NOC)
Viscar moved from the city centre to Ngong’ road to sustain its rapid growth and to fulfil the ever-changing clients’ training needs. Through this, we set up a state of art training room with training facilities and equipment.
Viscar launched a 4-year strategic plan with a renewed vision of becoming the leading African firm providing a needed capacity enhancement in engineering technology globally. We added a company tagline of “Enhancing Performance and Productivity” as a brand promise to our esteemed clients and the market as a whole.
Viscar was recognized and awarded the TOP 100 Mid-sized company prize. We partnered with the Engineers Board of Kenya (EBK) towards offering continuous professional Development (CPD) training for Engineers. We also partnered with the National Construction Authority towards offering CPD training for technical resources in the Building and Construction industry.
In addition to that, our number of clients officially hit 100
