  "account": "Nairobi, Kenya - Bamburi Cement Plc is pursuing a significant supply agreement with the Dangote East Africa Petroleum Refinery in Lamu, Kenya, according to a recent report. The company aims to deliver more than one million tonnes of cement and concrete products to the 700,000-barrel-per-day refinery under construction. Bamburi's CEO, Geoffrey Ndugwa, expressed enthusiasm for the project, stating that the Dangote Group and the Kenyan Government's partnership marks a major milestone in the world's largest single-train crude oil refinery. The cement manufacturer plans to supply locally manufactured Bamburi DuraCem cement, suitable for sulfate- and chloride-resistant applications, and various concrete products like waterproof, self-compacting, pervious, and fibre-reinforced concrete. Bamburi is confident in its ability to meet the refinery's demand due to the Kenyan Government's preference for locally sourced materials. The company's experience in supplying cement for large-scale projects, such as the Talanta Sports Stadium and the Standard Gauge Railway, further demonstrates its capabilities. Bamburi has recently expanded its production capacity with a $250 million engineering, procurement, and construction contract for a clinkerisation plant in Matuga, Kwale County, which is expected to boost its clinker and cement production capacities significantly.",
