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

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
