Background
Before becoming Kayah Cement, it initially operated as Salisbury Portland Cement (est. 1954) which was owned by the British Associated Portland Cement Manufacturers[1]. The plant changed its name to Circle Cement in 1982 following the name change of the parent company to Blue Circle[1]. Lafarge SA acquired them in 2001 and changed the plant name again to Lafarge Cement Zimbabwe in 2007[1]. They became a member of Holcim (at the time its name was LafargeHolcim) in 2015[1]. More recently, in 2023, the company changed its name to Kayah Cement as a result of changing management, making it the first time since operating that it is owned by a local indigenous group[2][3].
