Kegwa Coffee Factory is located in the Central Province, Kirinyaga County in Njukiini location of Gichugu Division, near Kianyaga town. It was established in the 1960s and rests on a 3 acre piece of land serving Kegwa, Mwiboini, Cieni, and Kithiga A & B Villages and it is currently affiliated to Ngiriambu Farmers’ Cooperative Society Ltd. Its membership currently stands at around 1400, of which 1000 are active farmers.

The factory lies at about 1500 M.A.S.L. and the area experiences moderate bimodal rainfall with temperatures ranging between 13-25°C. After harvesting, all the coffee is delivered to the factory and undergoes the wet processing method. In line with the rising awareness on the need to conserve the environment, the factory has dug the waste water soak pits away from the water source where the waste water is allowed to soak in back to the soil. Kegwa Coffee Factory is run by a station manager who oversees all activities within the factory. Together with other staff members they carry out duties such as weighing coffee, selection and grading of coffee, paying farmers and addressing their needs.
