AfricaChemical Supplier & Exporter to Mauritius
Mauritius combines textile finishing, sugar and food processing, and a small pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturing base with a large hospitality sector that needs water-treatment chemicals. Laboratories at the university and in food-safety testing also buy analytical reagents. The island's close trade links with India, reinforced by the CECPA, make it a natural market for us: sea freight to Port Louis is relatively quick, and air cargo into MRU handles urgent laboratory and API orders.
