In an industry where longevity is rare, East Africa Glassware Mart (EAGM) stands as a remarkable exception. Celebrating 75 years of operations, the company’s journey is a powerful story of resilience, innovation, and unwavering commitment to people and partnerships across East Africa’s hospitality sector.
Founded in 1951 by Prabhudas Chandi, EAGM began with a simple yet visionary idea—transforming used glass bottles into drinking glasses. What started as a modest operation has since evolved into a regional leader, with a presence spanning Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania.
Over the decades, EAGM has built its reputation on trust, deep customer understanding, and strong product knowledge. Continuous investment in showrooms, infrastructure, and supply chains has enabled the company to deliver reliability at scale—making it a preferred partner for the hospitality industry.
A pivotal moment in EAGM’s growth was its long-standing partnership with Arc International, which introduced globally recognised glassware brands into East Africa.
Today, its portfolio includes names such as Luminarc, Arcoroc, Chef & Sommelier, Cristal d’Arques, RAK Porcelain, Bon Appetit, Pyrex, and Pinnacle—positioning EAGM as a one-stop solution provider for both retail and hospitality sectors.
Hospitality remains at the core of EAGM’s business. As East Africa experiences rapid growth in hotels, restaurants, and catering services, EAGM continues to bridge global trends with local needs—ensuring operators have access to world-class products.
With an extensive product range and high stock availability, the company delivers consistency and convenience at scale.
EAGM’s people-first philosophy is central to its success. Led by Chairman Pravin Chandi and Directors Sandip Chandi and Sanjay Chandi, the company continues to foster a culture of humility, mentorship, and collaboration.
This approach extends beyond the organisation—creating strong, lasting partnerships with suppliers and customers alike.
As the industry evolves, EAGM is embracing the future through digital transformation, AI integration, and sustainability-driven innovation. Its home-grown Bon Appétit brand is also gaining traction with eco-friendly solutions tailored to modern consumer needs.
This milestone is especially significant as the fourth generation steps into the business—ensuring continuity while bringing fresh vision.
