LafargeHolcim has firmly exited the Kenyan market after it entered members’ voluntary liquidation following a shareholder resolution passed on September 16, 2025, according to a notice published under Kenya’s Insolvency Act.
Harbeen Gadhoke of Adili Associates LLP has been appointed as “liquidator and will oversee the winding up of the company” as creditors have been asked to submit claims and proof of debt for consideration by October 7, 2025.
Lafarge Holcim’s Gradual Departure From Kenya
The liquidation comes months after Holcim Group sold its majority stake in Bamburi Cement Plc to Tanzania’s Amsons Group, effectively exiting its flagship cement operations in Kenya and signalling the end of its direct presence in the East African cement market.
Holcim, one of the world’s largest building materials companies, had been a major player in Kenya’s construction sector for decades through Bamburi Cement, which operates integrated plants in Mombasa and Athi River.
The voluntary liquidation indicates LafargeHolcim East Africa Limited has no ongoing business activities in the region following the Bamburi sale and is now formally dissolving its legal entity.
