Business
Longhorn Publishers Plc is an educational publishing and digital learning solutions provider operating across Eastern, Central, and Southern Africa. Founded in 1965 and headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, the company specializes in the development, publication, and distribution of curriculum-aligned educational materials, general literature, legal texts, and digital educational technologies for early childhood development, primary, secondary, and tertiary academic levels. The company operates through three principal business segments: Print Educational Publishing, Digital Learning Solutions, and Legal & Professional Publishing. Its comprehensive product and service portfolio includes core curriculum textbooks, supplementary workbooks, and teacher guides developed for the Competency-Based Curriculum and national educational frameworks; examination revision guides, model assessment papers, and study aids; children's literature, graded readers, fiction, non-fiction, and indigenous language storybooks; reference materials and comprehensive dictionaries, including specialized Kiswahili Kamusi publications; professional law reports, legal digests, and statutory compendia published under the LawAfrica imprint; tertiary and technical vocational education textbooks; and digital education ecosystems delivered through the LoHo Learning platform, interactive e-books, teacher resource portals, and mobile-based learning applications. Longhorn Publishers distributes its products to public and private educational institutions, bookshops, governments, and individual consumers, maintaining direct operations and subsidiaries in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and Rwanda, alongside distribution networks serving South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Malawi, and Zambia. In recent developments, the company has accelerated its digital transformation strategy by expanding the LoHo Learning suite to provide AI-enabled, interactive digital curriculum content and remote learning access in partnership with telecommunications operators. The company has also executed capital restructuring initiatives with the support of its majority shareholder, Centum Investment Company Plc, to optimize its balance sheet and fund strategic digital expansion, while simultaneously expanding its curriculum-approved print and digital textbook series to cover new grade levels under ongoing educational curriculum reforms across its core East African markets.
