About us
Since 1983, Groupe Sotramon has delivered structural steelwork, lagging and cladding, boiler erection, piping, tank installation, crane services, and maintenance — across projects of every scale.
No project is too large or too small for our team. We focus on quality service, disciplined schedule management, and reliable delivery — meeting the deadlines our clients depend on.
This service-oriented approach allows Groupe Sotramon to anticipate industry needs and innovate with confidence. A sustained investment in training strengthens our capabilities and the quality of what we deliver.
Chairman's welcome
Our success has been built on hard work, continuous development, and a steadfast focus on our clients' needs.
The company was founded in 1983 with around twelve employees, beginning as a small contracting firm in mechanical and structural engineering for the Mauritian market.
Our initial focus was the sugar sector, where specialist engineering support was in short supply. Through rapid response and strong technical capability, we expanded into textiles and petroleum — from pipeline work to full plant erection in the years that followed. We also established the country's first dredging company as tourism developed in Mauritius.
Guided by core values of continuous learning and solution-driven engineering, we have grown and diversified across the Indian Ocean region and into Africa. Today we are a leading contractor in the sugar and thermal sectors, with subsidiaries active in petroleum, commercial trading, and investment — and a crane hire fleet that includes the region's largest mobile crawler crane at 300 tonnes.
We look forward to continuing this journey with you.
To be the preferred heavy engineering group in the region and a driver of industrial development.
High-quality service, rapid response, and on-time delivery.
Hard work, integrity, health and safety, teamwork, and respect.

Our culture

We create a challenging, safe, and rewarding environment that people are proud to be part of.
Health & safety
We are fully committed to providing the safest workplace possible for the wellbeing of our employees. Every employee, from senior management to shop-floor staff, shares responsibility for maintaining the standards we require.
We actively identify and eliminate hazards in our work processes. Safety committees comprising management and elected employee representatives receive the resources they need to be effective. Training ensures tasks are performed correctly, limiting the risk of injury. No task is so urgent that a safety rule may be set aside to complete it.
