About PIM Limited

55 years of purposeful progress

Our History

Since its creation in 1970 under the name Plastic Industry (Mauritius) Ltd, our company has been a pioneer in plastics manufacturing in Mauritius. From the very beginning, it specialized in injection, blow moulding, and extrusion techniques, providing a wide range of products to the industrial, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food, and domestic sectors.

Over the decades, the company has grown steadily, now operating with more than 500 moulds and employing about 165 people. With continuous investment in modern technologies, our portfolio has expanded to include chairs, containers, bottles, caps, buckets, and crates most of them proudly carrying the Made in Moris label. Listed on the Stock Exchange of Mauritius since 1993, PIM also holds multiple international certifications, including ISO 9001 and HACCP, and is a certified supplier to The Coca-Cola Company.

In 2020, the company entered a new era by rebranding itself as PIM Limited, unveiling a new visual identity and tagline: “Rethinking plastics in a changing world.” This transformation confirmed our commitment to responsibility and sustainability.

PIM has since distinguished itself through bold initiatives: ending the production of single-use spoons (2016) and straws (2018), thus eliminating over 10,000 kg of plastic waste annually. Beyond this, about 12% of in-house waste is recycled and reused, while nearly 200 tons of plastics are collected from clients each year for recovery.

In line with our vision of circularity, we established PIM Recycling Ltd in March 2024, with the capacity to process 3 tons per day and a target of recycling more than 800 tons by 2026. In March 2025, we hosted key government officials, NGOs, and industry stakeholders, presenting innovations such as insulating concrete made from recycled plastics.

As an active member of the government’s Plastic Committee and contributor to the national circular economy roadmap, PIM remains committed to driving change, shaping solutions, and rethinking plastics for a more sustainable Mauritius.

Our core values

This year marks 55 years of PIM Limited, over half a century of building, adapting, and innovating in the plastics industry. As we look back on this journey, we are reminded that our strength lies not just in what we produce, but also in why we produce it, how we produce it, and more broadly the values that guide us forward.

At a time when Mauritius faces complex environmental and economic challenges, our role as a plastic manufacturer is evolving. We no longer operate in a traditional value chain, we want to be part of a circular economy, where sustainability, innovation, and governance are essential.

This year, we took a bold step by redefining our corporate values through a collaborative internal process, ensuring they reflect who we are today and who we must become tomorrow:

We are Integrity-Driven

In a sector where greenwashing can undermine real progress, transparency, honesty, and responsibility are non-negotiable. At PIM, integrity means doing what is right, even when it is not easy. It means owning/reducing our environmental footprint, serving our clients with humility and reliability, and honouring the trust placed in us. We continued our efforts in local recycling, transparent material sourcing, and ethical business conduct, reinforcing our position in a space where credibility matters.

We are Impact-Aware

Given the rising concerns around plastic pollution, we must ensure that every action we take is the result of carefully thought and responsible behaviour. Being impact-aware means acknowledging the environmental reality and proactively contribute to solutions, through better design, better systems, and better partnerships.

We are Future-Focused

The plastics industry is undergoing a profound transformation. To remain relevant, we must anticipate emerging trends, invest in new skills, embrace innovative technologies and materials, and remain agile in an ever-changing environment. As we enter the next chapter of our journey, we remain anchored in our core values. These are not mere slogans, but operating principles that guide how we design, how we manufacture, how we lead, and how we engage with others. Looking ahead, we also recognize the importance of transmission, passing on knowledge, expertise, and responsibility to future generations. By sharing what we have learned and building on it together, we ensure that our legacy is not only about plastics, but about innovation, responsibility, and sustainability that endure over time.
