How a brand page is built
The maker’s official site and its catalogues, data sheets and annual reports come first: who makes the product and where, the product lines and pack sizes, specifications from data sheets. Where the maker publishes nothing on a point, the page names its other source in the same sentence, such as a trade report or a business directory. Standards a maker claims are quoted as its own statement.
Logos, market-share claims, rankings and talk of dealerships are left out. Every brand page answers one question plainly: whether Kitovu holds that brand in Zanzibar.

Brands behind Kitovu’s own stock
JOMOO is the only brand with a page whose product Kitovu keeps on the island. The coatings and membranes Kitovu does hold carry JUYONS on their labels: the K11 coating, the bitumen primer and the APP membrane. JUYONS has no brand page yet; those products are described on waterproofing materials and on their own cards.
