For 79 years, the East African Portland Cement Company has been Kenya's leading cement manufacturer producing world class cement. By providing the 'lifeblood' of the country's construction industry, we have played a central role in nation building.
Blue Triangle Cement, our flagship brand, is well appreciated all over Kenya as a symbol of quality and reliability. Our cement has been used in building flagship Vision 2030 projects such as the Thika Superhighway. Blue Triangle Cement is literally building Kenya in areas such as housing, education, health, tourism, transport and communication, as well as hydro-electric power projects such as the Chemususu Dam.
We maintain our commitment to better and brighter lives for communities by sponsoring a wide range of development projects through our Corporate Social Responsibility policy. Our passion for education has manifested itself in the building of dormitories and classrooms in hardship areas and sponsoring bright but disadvantaged children through school.
To our customers, we have made a commitment to deliver quality and value. This is demonstrated by our attainment of ISO certification. In 2011, we received recognition from the Computer Society of Kenya for having the Best ERP Implementation in 2011. We are also OHSAS certified, a reflection of our world class standards of safety in the workplace.
To our staff, we have undertaken to unlock the potential in each of them by encouraging creativity and innovativeness. At East African Portland Cement Company, every employee matters. They have all been sensitised and thoroughly trained on their individual roles in the company's collective effort to realise its strategic goals.
We believe in continuous product improvement pegged on changing market trends, technological advancement and dynamic customer needs and wants. The commitment to learn and embrace change is what drives our desire to achieve customer satisfaction.
Growth, expansion and sustained profitability are the guiding principles of our business model. We have strategic plans to grow our business beyond the Kenyan borders, while enhancing our market share locally.
