Our Profile

There's no denying that South Africans love their sugar! With local sugar consumption topping 1.5 million tons annually, sugar continues to play a central role in our everyday lives. And the sugar that South Africans choose is Huletts, South Africa's oldest and best-loved sugar brand.
Having been around since 1892, Huletts is undeniably part of the fabric of South African life. Our red, white and blue branding is instantly recognisable and represents the rich heritage of the brand within South African homes.

Pure Quality

In today's tough economic climate, consumers want to be confident that they are getting good value for their money. The longstanding quality and consistency of the Huletts name, along with its position as South Africa's No. 1 sugar brand, gives consumers this assurance.

Huletts quality is also backed by a number of accreditations. The entire Durban refinery carries ISO 9001:2008 certification, while the Liquid Sugar and Fructose plants are certified by HACCP (SANS 10330:2007) – an SABS body. Maidstone Mill’s packaging and laboratory sections are ISO 9001:2008 certified and the packaging plant is HACCP – (SANS 10330:2007) compliant. The vast majority of Huletts products also carry Halaal, Hindu and Kosher accreditation, ensuring that all South Africans can enjoy the pure sweetness of the Huletts range.

The market in which we operate has become increasingly sophisticated, and a number of category players are extending their ranges with products that add value with convenience, innovation, variety and ease of use.

Huletts remains at the head of the pack, leveraging its expertise in launching top quality products across a full range of sweetening categories.

The Huletts product range encompasses traditional white and brown sugars, as well as a wide range of retail, industrial, catering, non-nutritive and speciality sugars, and an exciting range of syrups.

Huletts' new product launches are a modern-day,relevant expression of the brand. These products demonstrate Huletts' commitment to adding value to consumers' lives by providing the great sweetness of Huletts in a variety of formats that suit their diverse needs and lifestyles.
