Our Mission
To make buying gold safe and simple — supplying responsibly-sourced, independently-assayed gold with transparent pricing and secure delivery, so individuals, traders, and institutions can invest with complete confidence.
Our Vision
To become East Africa's most trusted name in gold — a trading house recognized globally for the integrity of its supply, the accuracy of its assays, and the security of its logistics.
Our Story
Stelcha Dealers K Ltd (SDL K LTD) was founded to bring integrity to the gold trade in Kenya — connecting responsibly-sourced African gold with buyers worldwide. Operating from Nairobi, we pair a trading desk with our own state-of-the-art laboratory, equipped with XRF analyzers, fire assay facilities, and acid testing stations.
Because we assay every lot in-house before it's sold, our clients buy with certainty: verified purity, honest pricing, and full documentation for trade, investment, and export.
Today, SDL K LTD serves clients across multiple continents — from individual investors to institutional buyers and refiners — supplying gold bars, dust, doré and coins, each backed by purity certificates and tracked through our dual tracking systems: TVR (Test Verification Record) for testing processes and SKR (Safe Keeping Receipt) for secure storage.
