Founded on 27 July 1964, our journey began with the establishment of Mauvilac, marking the start of industrialization in Mauritius through the manufacturing and distribution of high-quality paints and coatings. This pioneering step laid the foundation for decades of growth, driven by visionary leadership, entrepreneurship, and an unwavering commitment to innovation.

Over the years, our group has expanded into multiple industries, establishing a strong presence in paints and coatings manufacturing, paper trade and tissue paper conversion, chemicals distribution through BASF, ethanol production for the EU market, duty-free retail and distribution, tobacco and cosmetics distribution, real estate development, and ship bunkering. Our ability to anticipate market trends and adapt to evolving industries has cemented our reputation as a leader in each sector we operate in.

Innovation is deeply embedded in our DNA, and we have played a key role in the development of several flagship companies in Mauritius. Mauvilac revolutionized the paint industry, while Domaine Les Pailles and Le Casino du Domaine redefined entertainment and hospitality. The creation of Compagnie Mauricienne d’Hypermarchés introduced the first hypermarket to the country, transforming the retail landscape. Our pioneering spirit also led to the establishment of the first large-scale ethanol distillery, reinforcing our commitment to sustainability and industrial excellence.

From our origins as a single business unit to becoming a multi-industry powerhouse, our journey has been defined by a relentless drive for progress. As we continue to innovate and expand, we remain committed to shaping industries, creating opportunities, and contributing to the economic growth of Mauritius and beyond.
