Martin Furniture Uganda, based in Namugongo opposite the Catholic Shrine, is meeting growing demand for household furniture made in Uganda rather than imported from abroad.
Founder and CEO Sempero Martin says the business was established to give Kampala residents quality sofas, beds, and dining sets that can be customized to their spaces. “We focus on pieces that fit real homes here,” he explains. “Customers can select sizes, colours, and finishes, and we produce them using local timber and experienced carpenters.”
The workshop handles both ready-made stock and made-to-order items. Delivery is available across Kampala and Wakiso, and every piece carries a one-year warranty on workmanship. In addition to production, the business trains young artisans and provides regular employment.
Sempero Martin notes that consistent quality has helped the workshop build a steady base of returning clients and referrals. The showroom remains open for walk-in customers while orders continue to come in through phone and social media.
