Why Tononoka Fireworks

The Tononoka Fireworks performance begins. An extravaganza of light, color and sound blended to perfection. Great flashes shoot skyward and swell into giant curtains of light. Brilliant colors burst forth then fade into the night. Explosions pound in your chest but your eyes remain glued to the sky. It happens over and over again. Different colors and shapes appear in the sky. From Green Willows and Red Hearts to Blue Rings and Palm Trees. From a Golden Waterfall to a Tiger Tail, the effects are endless and varied. When the sky falls silent, the night erupts into applause, cheers and whistles.

TONONOKA FIREWORKS LIMITED® the company that has been captivating audiences like this with dazzling displays of pyrotechnic wizardry. We ensure that every one of our performances is an innovative blend of science guaranteed to delight!

What better way to announce the start of a new venture or the launch of a new product than with Fireworks or Pyrotechnics. We can add color, excitement, noise and spectacle to draw attention to your event or product. We can use specialist Stage or Arena Pyrotechnics for Indoor use or for areas where fireworks would be unsuitable. For daylight use we can offer a range of bright effects, colored smoke and noise products!

Hidden in the brilliant spectacle of all our displays is the safety factor. The increasing number of fireworks displays performed every year make it vitally important that safety remains paramount. Sites are chosen with extreme care to insure the safety of the audience as well as of the technicians. As an added safety measure, we pioneered the use in Kenya of a diversified system of dense-pack firing to minimize the risk of injury. This launching system allows us to produce the kind of precision effects, or Pyrotechnic Symphonies, that is our trademark. Always on the leading edge, we are the pioneer pyrotechnic display company in East Africa.

When working with us to coordinate a Major Spectacle display, examples of the kinds of issues our clients should consider include the viability of the venue or proposed location for the event, the program and design time (particularly if the display is to be choreographed to music), ensuring that the requisite permits, approvals and permission to use designated sites, structures or rooftops are obtained, that safety distances are adequate and that the likely prevailing weather conditions at the time of the display are taken into account, particularly the likely wind strength and direction. The process involves an adequate series of briefings such that all parties have a good understanding of set-up logistics, particularly if other activities are planned for the same arena and last but not least that a realistic budget commensurate with the desired scale of display.

We love to travel and perform anywhere that we can around the world for large events. Due to the logistics and costs involved with foreign travel and shipping fireworks across national borders, it is often not viable for us to perform some smaller shows. However, we have partners who are based in other countries that we can recommend. We have a vast experience with various sites from rooftops to large open fields, barges and on sandy beaches. Our full time staffs of trained pyrotechnicians perform over 200 shows yearly in East Africa. We have the capability to perform more than 20 displays in 20 different locations at the same time making us the most versatile pyrotechnic company in Kenya and an industry leader in the region of East Africa. Set piece and letter writing fireworks (lance work) are ideal for company logos and brand names and is one of our specialties. This can be done in various colors like Red, Green, Gold, Silver and Purple.

Our dedication to the profession ensures audiences of a breathtaking and magical experience in each and every performance. An on-going quest for quality material and the newest techniques takes us on a global search for the best manufacturers in Australia, China, Taiwan, Thailand, Japan, Europe and the U.S.A. This behind the scenes commitment to excellence manifests itself in every program - large or small.
