Three partners established a small office on Kirinyaga Road, driven by a commitment to exceptional craftsmanship. Their initial production facility in Kitengela focused on creating dormitory beds for the Department of Defense, along with ling cabinets and shelving for local supermarkets. As they expanded, the Ministry of Education tasked Ashut with supplying furniture for teacher training colleges nationwide, employing about 100 staff at the time.

Ashut purchased property on Lokitaung Road, increasing its office and storage capacity to support business growth. The company broadened its product range, starting to manufacture agricultural tools like shovels and gardening rakes, along with locks for post office letterboxes. Additionally, Ashut saw an opportunity to enter the rigid plastics market for industrial packaging.
2003 - 2005
As the agricultural sector expanded, Ashut invested in manufacturing wheelbarrows, milk cans, and warehouse racking. This growth led to opportunities, including a commission from the Ministry of Education to furnish teacher training colleges nationwide, employing about 100 staff. To support further expansion, Ashut acquired a property on Nyahera Road.
2006 - 2011
Ashut shifted its production from Kitengela to Nyahera Road to boost operational efficiency and logistics, facilitating growth to meet rising product demand.
