Mauritius, 2 June 2017. At the end of last year Mauritius Duty Free Paradise (MDFP) put out an official tender, as part of a reorientation, to supply the airport shops that it runs and those on Rodrigues: Gebr. Heinemann, one of the top players on the international travel retail market and the only family-run business among the global players, has convinced MDFP with reliability of supply, the pricing and the range of services.Above these, the shop conversions, logistics and compliance, marketing and promotions, assistance with merchandising – with the corresponding training – and, last but not least, the work Gebr. Heinemann puts into formulating growth strategies for their partners, were key factors for MDFP´s decision to choose the German company.
The new exclusive contract will run from the summer season for a period of three years and will cover the LTC and P&C product groups and their associated sub-groups.
Rakesh Ragoobeer, CEO of MDFP: “‘The Mauritius Duty Free Paradise Co Ltd is glad and feels proud to appoint Gebr Heinemann as their main distributor for its international shops based at SSR International Airport, Mauritius. MDFP is convinced that with 138 years of experience of GH in the travel retail business will definitely help to enhance the level of service of our customers; and, ultimately bring the required services to sustain our business growth.”
