Consumer goods company Unilever East Africa has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Tatu City for the acquisition of 70 acres of industrial land for future expansion of its manufacturing operations. The site is located at Tatu Industrial Park, adjacent to Tatu City's 2 500-acre mixed-use, mixed-income development near Nairobi.
This move is part of a stream of investment activities that Unilever aims to roll out over the coming years to drive growth in East Africa.
The land acquisition announcement follows the recent opening of a new state-of-the art production line by the company which is set to double the production of Vaseline petroleum jelly in the current Nairobi plant to meet growing regional demand.
