Get to know about the Sumz Brand

"Sumz" means something of high quality, obtained after value addition.

Company Background

Founded in 2010 by Mr Dennis Ngabirano – a professional teacher and counselling psychologist.

As a requirement for his graduate studies at St. Lawrence University Dennis was compulsorily required to come up with a business idea and develop a complete business plan for it. Initially, Dennis thought of goat rearing and actually came up with a name – Ngabi Stock Farm, which was abandoned when the supervisor insisted on the implementation of the business idea and on the realisation that Ngabi stock farm was a capital intensive idea.



Dennis got united in holy matrimony to his longtime fiancée – Maureen, before finishing his course and had their honeymoon in the Kenyan coastal city – Mombasa. On a tour of Fort Jesus, the couple spotted a local preparing raw banana chips by the roadside. Owing to their inquisitive nature, they bought and tasted some of them, and Voila.. a fresh business idea was born. A business model not dissimilar to what they had just witnessed was developed with the input of choice being ripe plantain (Musa Paradisiaca) or as locally known – Gonja

This motivated him as he hadn’t seen a similar business in Uganda. With determination and zeal he went on to complete his research project and in there saw an opportunity to supplement his meagre earnings, - we all know how teachers are paid in Uganda. Armed with a ‘hefty’ $12 and kitchenware principally from their wedding gifts, he took a decision to abandon the Ngabi Stock farm idea and in 2010 started processing crisps from the verandah of their rented home.

Dennis set out to horn his research project by submitting a new business plan based on the production of Gonja crisps which his supervisor graciously approved. His crisps were initially vended at the university canteen as well as a few retail shops around Nansana and the response from their customers was encouraging. A year later, they added two crisps products to their portfolio (Potato – Solanum tuberosum, Yam – Colocasia esculenta) and later extruded snacks.

Four years into the business, Dennis dropped his teaching profession to concentrate on nurturing and developing of their business.

From the humble beginnings, Psalms Food Industries Ltd has risen an award-winning company with an over 20 product portfolio under the brand – SUMZ. Distributed across the region in supermarkets as well as the regular corner shops.
