Kenya: East African Portland Cement Company (EAPCC) plans to invest more than US$200m to raise cement production capacity from 1.3Mt/yr to almost 4Mt/yr over the next three years. The funding will come from Kalahari Cement, a subsidiary of Tanzania-based Amsons Group, which owns 69% of EAPCC. The investment will fund a new energy-efficient clinker grinding plant and wider modernisation of manufacturing infrastructure.
Amsons Group managing director Edha Nahdi said “In 2025, we promised to facilitate the full revival and modernisation of EAPCC, and we can now confirm that plans to invest more than US$200m in the first phase of the modernisation agenda have been secured.”
According to the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics, cement production rose to 9.5Mt in the first 11 months of 2025, up from 8.1Mt in 2024, with consumption increasing from 7.8Mt to 9.3Mt.
