Eclosia

From a start-up to a consolidated group: the journey of a company like no others. 50 years ago, Eclosia grew from the dream of Michel de Spéville. Passionate about nature and farming, his vision has always been to reduce Mauritius' dependence on foreign products and to contribute in making it a self-sufficient country. With a skilled and tight-knit team at his side, and following the principle of uncompromising quality, the company evolved in a few decades from a start-up into a respected, diversified, and robust group in the Mauritian economic landscape. Today, its activities are regrouped into six sectors: Food, Commerce, Logistics, Business Services, Education, and Hotels & Leisure. The group expanded and now operates in Africa and in the Indian Ocean region, mostly in Madagascar. With more than twenty companies under its wings, the group employs over 4000 people. With revenues close to 15 billion Mauritian Rupees, Eclosia is in the Top 5 of the biggest Mauritian groups. True to its roots, the Eclosia group is engaged in promoting individual initiative and believes in the positive impact of entrepreneurship as a key for economic development, innovation, and social cohesion. Strong values have always been at the heart of the group's development, including quality, integrity, citizenship and mutual respect. Beyond its commercial and industrial activities, Eclosia contributes as much as it can, to the evolution of the country and to the progress of its citizens.
