The East African Portland Cement PLC (EAPC) has resumed operations in Kenya after a one-month closure for renovations and plant maintenance.
The cement maker is now seeking to increase capacity to serve the growing regional demand for cement amid an infrastructure boom.
The improved capacity is expected to boost the firm’s production ability to one million tonnes annually in the next two years, thereby solidifying its role and its position as a regional cement provider.
The company undertook the first phase of maintenance two years ago and it involved the replacement of the kiln shell which was completed in September 2022.
This led to improved clinker and cement production and resulted in a 38 per cent increase in revenues.
As part of its commitment to environmental sustainability and corporate social responsibility, EastAfrican Portland Cement PLC also undertook a tree planting initiative.
This initiative reflects EAPC PLC's proactive approach toward minimising its environmental footprint and fostering a greener future for generations to come.
