We started our operationin 1954 in Mombasa by establishing the Absorbent Cotton Industries. In 1960, the name of the company changed to African Cotton Industries Today, we have over 450 employees and African Cotton Industrial is racing forward as the leading player in the cotton industry in East and Central Africa. In 2000, as a result of restructuring and diversifying our product base, ACI looked at the possibility of converting Toilet Rolls. In October 2000, the machinery arrived and was installed in our Mombasa plant. We began operations of Tena toilet rolls in December 2001 and Tena became an instant success story. The enormous market response to a Kenyan made product, Tena instantly changed the face of the toilet tissue market of Kenya after over thirty years of virtual stagnation. It was a clear sign that the incumbent suppliers had forgot the consumer.Tena is a Swahili word that means "again". It was anticipated that once one used a Tena product they would return again and again. "True to its name and expectations those who had used Tena always come back for more”, says the Sales and Marketing Executive, Sugu Anjarwalla. She adds that through research revealed that the consumer market was yeaning for an affordable, white, quality toilet paper - one that the common mwananchi could easily afford especially considering the economic status of the market.In October 2002 a decision was made to relocate the Tena operations to Nairobi, the economic hub of the East & Central African region, production in our Mombasa Road premises near Jomo Kenyatta International Airport began by the end of October." today we employ over 450 persons in our Nairobi site, all involved in distribution & toilet paper operations.

History and Background Les Gaz Industriels Ltd (LGI) was incorporated as a private company, back in 1952, with 100% Mauritian equity and the sole aim of producing oxygen and acetylene for metal cutting and welding purposes. In 1963, African Oxygen Ltd S.A. AFROX bought 50% equity in LGI. During the next four years, the new corporate entity expanded into the production of general purpose welding electrodes and of medical oxygen and into the importation of nitrous oxide, from AFROX, for use in hospitals and clinics. In order to allow a more active participation from local shareholders, AFROX reduced its equity to 34% in 1976. LGI kept a steady growth for the next fourteen years, with the modernization of the oxygen plant and the production of liquid and gaseous nitrogen, for multi-purpose uses. It was also heavily involved in the installation of gas reticulation in hospitals and clinics. LGI became a public company in 1990 and was listed on the Over The Counter (OTC) market in Mauritius. It has, since, also diversified into the production of nitrous oxide for medical purposes. The commissioning of a modern Air Separation Unit in 1998, for the production of liquid and gaseous oxygen and nitrogen and the installation of two cryogenic storage tanks, for liquid oxygen and nitrogen, have given the company the opportunity of doubling its supply of oxygen and nitrogen in Mauritius, with the added advantage of servicing the customer on an ex-stock basis.
