Consumer goods manufacturer Unilever East Africa is set to acquire a 70-acre piece of land in Kiambu’s Tatu City, setting the stage for its Sh17 billion expansion plans.
The producer of OMO detergent and Blue Band margarine said it had signed an agreement with the property developer to buy the land for hundreds of millions of shillings, with the exact price undisclosed.
The multinational is now expected to build a new factory in the location in the medium term, replacing the current plant it has operated at Nairobi’s Industrial Area for decades.
This will be part of the Sh17 billion investments in Kenya announced by its global chief executive Paul Polman last year.

The drop makes for a compelling opportunity to purchase shares of the country’s largest investment holding firm.
