[2][3] EAPCC's headquarters are located in Athi River, a small town about 30 km from Nairobi, Kenya's capital city.

East African Portland Cement Company started as a trading company importing cement mainly from England for early construction work in British East Africa (now Kenya) as an agent of Blue Circle Industries of the United Kingdom.

The factory was commissioned in 1958 and consisted of a rotary kiln, a big cement mill which significantly increased production capacity to 120,000 tonnes per annum.

The Kenyan courts ruled that EAPCC does not qualify to be a government Parastatal because NSSF shares do not belong to the State but to contributors.

East African Portland Cement Company is governed by a seven-person Board of Directors with Edwin Muriithi Kinyua serving as the Chairman.
