Savannah
Cement Company is doubling its production capacity to 2.4 million tonnes in a
multi-billion shilling investment at its Athi River plant as it targets the
exports market within East Africa.
It is
also eyeing State projects like the affordable housing under the Big Four
Agenda that would require increased production.
Savannah,
which started operations in 2012, is producing 1.2 million tonnes and wants a
larger share of the Uganda, Tanzania, South Sudan markets in a plan aimed at
cutting reliance on the Kenyan market.

of expansion plans, the firm is undertaking a Sh5 billion grinding plant
expansion at its Athi river hub.
