Food and Allied Group
location_on Moka
The story of Food & Allied Group is one of passion, optimism and faith in the country's future. At a time when few Mauritians believed in the future of Mauritius as it gained independence, the young entrepreneur Michel de Spéville was among those taking action. This is how, from the breeding of a few chickens in 1966, the Food and Allied group has considerably expanded over the last four decades to emerge into a widely diversified group with seven sectors of activity: food industry, farming, commerce, business services, hotels, training & education, and logistics. Pioneering in the field of poultry production, the company sought to help reduce the volume of imported poultry meat through local production. This attempt at improving food security would soon become the leitmotiv of the Food & Allied Group's development, before starting its diversification process.Leading the way in most sectors where it is involved, the group has grown in line with the country's economic development. In the nineties, Food & Allied goes beyond the Mauritian territory and engages in the first regional prospects through the setting up of Avitech in Madagascar. Prospects that will be confirmed later… Strong values have always been central to the development of the group. Above and beyond
