Spencon a privately owned company with diversified business was incorporated in 1979 to undertake infrastructure related construction in Kenya with an intention to expand subsequently into neighbouring countries. In 1984 the operations were extended into Tanzania, in 1985 into Uganda and 1994 into Zambia.

Today, there are full fledged operational presences in each of these countries. From Kenya to Zambia projects have been carried out in South Sudan, Malawi, Mozambique and Botswana.

Spencon initially started offering engineering solutions for water supply and sewerage works. The company has since then diversified into roads and bridges, electro-mechanical; power transmission, mining and industrial buildings. Most of the projects undertaken so far have been financed by international funding agencies like World Bank, IDA, KfW, EIB, AfDB, SFD, JICA among others.

The company has identified growth options in enhancing mutual joint ventures, mergers and acquisitions, and expanding into new markets, products and services.
