In April 1955, Asbestos, the industry's trade journal, reported that a new company, Universal Asbestos Manufacturing Company (East Africa) Ltd., had been incorporated in Uganda "with an authorized capital of £150,000 to establish a cement-asbestos industry at Rororo, in eastern Uganda," as the article's text prints Tororo.1 The item describes a plan; the sources here do not say the plant was built or opened.1
