The specialist in “special sugars”, l’Aventure du Sucre, offers a wide range of gifts that companies can give. The sugar world does not limit itself with sugar and rum but puts lots of derivative products of sugar cane and sugar at the companies’ disposal. Not only does it offer its traditional varieties of sugars in various local types of packaging like coconut, braided “rabane” or “vacoas” or corrugated cardboard, L’Aventure du Sucre has also dreamed up a whole range of typically Mauritian hand-made products to satisfy all budgets – as prices range from Rs 150 to Rs 1,700. The casket with a bottle of old rum, two tasting glasses, a packet of special sugars and a recipe booklet “Délices & Desserts” with recipes made with Mauritian special sugars is among the most complete and original of gifts. But sugar bowls made with wood and glass, coconut wood or in terracotta will do just nicely – as will the exotic sweets such as jams, aromatised teas and so on.

Whatever your budget may be Hémisphère Sud will strive to adapt to your needs and requirements. Corporate gifts are one of the most important fields developed by the company in Plaine-Lauzun throughout the year. During this period, the factory, which produces luxury goods, is working at full speed. “We have already received a lot of orders,” reveals the managing director, Anne-Christine Lévigne-Fletcher. After 28 years of work “à la carte”, the company still likes challenges and will not hesitate to manufacture products at Rs 15 the unit. Of course, the material used will not be leather, the style may not be as refined as other products but they will “still have a lot of fun trying to imagine a basically different product”.

Hémisphere Sud has more than 4,000 types of products in terms of corporate gifts; although document cases, portfolios and cardholders remain the most popular items, the company is ready to try and go for more originality as long as it corresponds to your budget and requirements!
