KEZA means innovation in Kinyarwanda, a name chosen in part to honor Rwanda's female leadership and a founding family that has always valued its women. The company began in 2006 under 2,000 square feet, with one engineer and no partners.

The founder's background is industrial engineering, not fabrication, which is why KEZA has always operated as an engineering business that happens to fabricate, rather than the other way around. From 2008, that discipline put KEZA at the front of UAE district cooling, working alongside Empower and DEWA, and earned approved vendor status with Johnson Controls, Daikin, SKM, Trosten, and Stolway.

That standard has since carried KEZA into critical-environment work across malls, hospitals, and food facilities, into fixed-deadline projects in Saudi Arabia tied to the Hajj, and into an offshore aluminium AHU program with Wilhelmsen Shipping on Lamprell's rigs. It has also carried the business into electrical manufacturing, LV panels, switchgear, and control panels, and into approval-gated secure cabinetry for defense end-users

Twenty years on, roughly fifty people carry that work forward, led by a founder who remains the most active person in the business.
