Our History

A group built
on ambition
and respect
for the land.

Founded in 1977, Groupe Socota has grown into one of the Indian Ocean's most influential conglomerates. Headquartered in Mauritius, with operations in Madagascar and a representation office in France, the Group operates three complementary verticals — seafood & aquaculture, textile & fashion, and office real estate.

From the shores of Ranobe Bay to the workshops of Antsirabe, from Port-Louis to Paris, every activity of Groupe Socota carries a shared commitment — operational excellence, environmental responsibility and lasting local job creation.
