20 years of Kenyan automotive expertise, now operating from the source. IQ Holdings Japan bridges the world's most trusted vehicle market directly to East Africa.
IQ Holdings was born in Nairobi, Kenya — built over 20 years into one of East Africa's most respected automotive import specialists. In 2024, we opened our Japan office in Saga Prefecture, placing our team directly at the world's finest used vehicle supply chain.
Our Kenya headquarters holds decades of regulatory expertise — KRA duty assessment, KEBS compliance, NTSA registration — while our Saga office gives clients unmatched access to Japanese auctions, pre-shipment inspection, and direct freight arrangements.
The result: a seamless, fully-managed pipeline from auction floor in Japan to driveway in Kenya.
