East Africa Portland Cement appoint new Chairman and Director
18 December 2018


The East African Portland Cement Company (EAPCC) (LafargeHolcim group) has appointed Edwin Kinyua as its new Chairman and Director. Mr Kinyua replaces William Lay who had served as the Non-Executive Chairman since November 2014.

Mr Kinyua was made chairman and director on 20 September 2018, but his appointment was only announced through local media this week. He previously worked as the Managing Director and Chief Executive of the Kenya Wine Agencies Ltd (KWAL).

He has the challenge to turn around EAPCC's performance which recorded a 25 per cent fall in revenue in fiscal year ending June 2018, from KES6.93bn (US$67.8m) to KES5.18bn.
