“It is impossible to tell the history of Kenya, and East Africa’s, cement manufacturing without starting with Bamburi Cement. Indeed, Bamburi has been synonymous with cement manufacturing and marketing in the region for decades, springing from a history and commitment to having a sustainable business model.
When Croatian construction magnate Felix Mandl landed in Kenya in 1951 on an exploration mission, decided to make the country his home and set up the country’s foremost cement company at the Coastal town of Mombasa. Over the years Bamburi Cement has embarked on a solid journey of ‘building the nation’ through investment in innovation, high quality cement, and solutions that meet specific needs of the industry, and most importantly taking a sustainability approach.
Bamburi Cement has made great strides in reducing its carbon footprint. Within the country, Bamburi Cement is the only cement company that has started the carbon footprint tracking for the cement production and therefore putting in place initiatives that reduce the carbon footprint. Improving Thermal Substitution Rate (TSR) continues to be part of their drive towards Net Zero ambitions.” Said Eng. S. Otieno of Lafarge Family.
