We produce our own exclusive range of products along with a carefully chosen range of complementary merchandise from innovative brands such as Nissin, Marumi, Sevenoak and NanGuang.

NOW
During the early part of the 21st century, digital products started to take over from film systems with massive changes across the industry in general both in technology and in channels of distribution.
Between then and now, Kenro Limited phased out its manufacturing operations and have kept abreast of developments in the industry by reconfiguring its operations, products and distribution so as to reflect the ongoing requirements of the industry it operates in.
