About Us
Legacy
Our group was born in the 1830s as a trading house and stands today as a listed entity, with over 100 brands and 24 companies, serving a wide range of industries in Mauritius, the Indian Ocean and Africa.
For almost two centuries, our products and services have improved the lives of all Mauritians from farmers to industrialists, entrepreneurs, families and everyone in between.
But this description only scratches the surface. What we truly are, is a group grounded with strong purpose and values, which strives to deliver solutions which will shape the Mauritius of tomorrow.
As one of the first trading companies in Mauritius, Harel Mallac has contributed to the Mauritian economy by acting as a pioneer in major sectors.
1789
The company’s story begins in 1789, when Charles-Pierre Harel, from Saint-Malo, Brittany, France, was authorised by the Governor of Isle de France to charter merchant ships from Port-Louis.
