With the arrival of fine weather, there are plenty of reasons to celebrate! A gourmet festival, a gala evening, birthdays… Here’s a look back at two events that marked the beginning of the month, to get the summer off to a flying start.
Platinum jubilee for Quality Beverages Ltd (QBL)
In 2025, the Currimjee Group subsidiary celebrates its 70th anniversary! Long gone are the days when Abdulla Currimjee had the idea of introducing Pepsi-Cola to Mauritius! Initially specializing in non-alcoholic beverages, the company quickly diversified and today offers over forty brands and products of all kinds: beverages, food products, soaps, detergents, cleaning and personal care products…
To celebrate its long and solid presence in the Mauritian market, QBL brought together a number of distinguished guests on October 3, 2025 for a gala evening at the Château de Labourdonnais in Mapou. It was also an opportunity for the company to reiterate its commitment to innovation, to prioritizing quality, to promoting sustainable practices and to strengthening its presence in the Indian Ocean.
A gourmet evening to celebrate 15 years of L’Artigiano
Getaway to Bel Paese as part of the 7e edition of Delizie Italiane, the annual gathering of gourmets to discover new products from L’Artigiano, an APTIS Group Italian delicatessen. While the main aim was to taste the delicious products imported by the company, it killed two birds with one stone, as the celebration also marked its 15e anniversary.
L’Artigiano decided to open a dialogue around one of the greatest challenges facing the restaurant and hotel sectors: the shortage of manpower. L’Artigiano’s response to this challenge was apt: the company took the opportunity to unveil its new range of deep-frozen products – a solution that saves time, increases productivity and improves efficiency, without compromising on quality!
