Built in Nairobi. Refined in Saga.

Two decades of Kenyan automotive expertise, now operating directly from the heart of Japan's vehicle export industry.

Our Story

Two Decades of Excellence.

IQ Holdings was founded in Nairobi in 2004, growing over 20 years into one of East Africa's most trusted vehicle import specialists. Thousands of Kenyan drivers, fleet managers, and businesses have relied on our team to source, ship, and clear quality Japanese vehicles.

In 2024, we took the natural next step — opening a dedicated office in Saga Prefecture, Japan. This gives us direct, unfiltered access to Japan's auction houses, inspection network, and freight partners, removing the middlemen that typically add cost and delay for Kenyan importers.

Today, IQ Holdings operates as one seamless team spanning two countries — Kenyan regulatory and customs expertise in Nairobi, paired with hands-on Japanese sourcing in Saga.

Twenty years of trust in Nairobi. Now we bring that same standard directly from the streets of Japan.
