March resonated within all Mauritians as a month of national pride and celebration. Celebrating our independence, yes, but most profoundly, our core, our identity. As a 100% local company, at Harel Mallac, we are incredibly proud to contribute to and positively impact the lives of Mauritians on the daily. With our rich heritage and diverse portfolio, we stand as a testament to the positive impact businesses can have on both individual lives and the broader economy.
Bringing convenience to Mauritians is what drives us. From the moment you wake up to the moment you unwind, Harel Mallac is part of your daily journey – yes, this may come as a surprise! For many Mauritians, our household names brands have been part of their homes for decades: Le Chat, Fa, Pattex, Mir and Schwarzkopf are all firm favourites among the population. And with the addition of our extensive range of Candy home appliances, we’ve further improved and optimised home lives.
We take immense pride in supporting local manufacturing. In recent years, we’ve gone one step further: developing high-quality home-grown products and bringing them to the forefront, highlighting local innovation, talent and skills.
Our “Éclat” or “Impec” ranges of liquid detergents and household cleaning products were born, proudly bearing the “Made in Moris” label. By choosing locally made products, consumers are not just opting for quality but also contributing to a thriving national economy.
Beyond homes, we empower businesses with world-class, cutting-edge solutions. True, Dell laptops are the most renowned office workhorse. But did you know that through Novengi and Aerolik, we also provide advanced air-conditioning, ventilation and industrial solutions? They are key contributing factors for the optimum performance and comfortable temperatures (especially in those scorching summers) in offices and factories alike. Our Equipment & Systems division supports companies in transitioning towards Industry 4.0, offering energy-efficient solutions and innovative office technology. By equipping businesses with the tools and the comfort they need to thrive, we play an active role in driving Mauritius’s economic growth.
Some of our least known but most crucial roles are to simplify, secure and connect the daily lives of Mauritians. In short, we power essential digital infrastructure throughout the island. You’ve most probably experienced this via the seamless transactions at Winners and Super U, secured fuel purchases at Total Energies, or enhanced shopping experience at Odysseo and Decathlon. Our smart building solutions optimise energy and water management, for increased sustainability in key locations like Ascencia malls and Caudan Waterfront. We are also behind major national projects, such as the MNIC 3.0, Africa’s first digital identity card, making administrative processes safer and more efficient. Through our innovations, we shape a smarter, more connected Mauritius.
Since our beginnings in the late 18th century, we have grown alongside Mauritius, continuously innovating to meet the needs of our people. As we celebrate our country’s independence, we reaffirm our dedication to shaping a brighter future. Because when Mauritius grows, we all grow.
