Uganda’s milk processing firm, the face behind the Lato brand, is set to acquire a Kenyan milk company in a transaction that will allow it to take on local firms and beat hurdles disrupting the supply and sale of its products in the country.
Maziwa, the non-operating holding company incorporated in Mauritius, has applied to the Comesa Competition Commission to acquire a 100 percent stake in Highland Creamers & Food Limited— a Kisii-based firm that started operations in 2015 and is behind the Farmily Milk brand.
