Kenya: The Competition Authority of Kenya (CAK) has approved the acquisition of Cemtech by Simba Cement. CAK said that, as Cemtech had been dormant for a decade, its purchase would revive the company, create jobs and improve the economy in West Pokot County.

Simba Cement is a subsidiary of Devki Group and it trades under the National Cement brand. Cemtech is a subsidiary of India’s Sanghi Group. It has been attempting to build a cement plant in West Pokot since 2010. The acquisition includes Cemtech’s land, business intellectual property, business records, equipment, goodwill, licenses, stock and third party rights.

Data from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics used by CAK showed the leading companies in the country’s cement sector by market share were: Bamburi Cement (33%), Mombasa Cement (16%), East African Portland Cement (15%), Savannah Cement (15%), National Cement (8%) and Athi River Mining Africa (13%).
