East African Portland Cement (EAPC) has resumed full clinker production after spending Sh500 million on upgrades at its Athi River factory whose frequent breakdowns had affected supply of its products in the market.
EAPC said it cut out 16 metres of its kiln's shell and replaced it with a new one, which will allow for the steady production of the key cement ingredient and reduce dependence on imports or purchases from fellow manufacturers in a market where local supply is inadequate to meet demand.
