Transmara Sugar Company has once again been awarded Superbrands status, the third time in a row that the brand has received this accolade.
The company won the top honour in the Sugar Category at East Africa’s Superbrands Tribute Awards, held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, on 6 March 2024. Pascal Lelong, the company’s Chief Marketing Officer, collected the award on behalf of the company.
The award recognises the work done by Transmara Sugar Company between 2022 and 2024 to foster a greater connection between employees, farmers and stakeholders, creating a sustainable business that puts the local economy, quality of life and environmental concerns to the forefront.
Pascal Lelong said: “We are proud to have the Mara Sugar brand awarded as East Africa’s choice of Superbrand – and even more so on the basis of quality, reliability and distinction. There are more than 3500 team members and more than 17,000 farmers working together every day to bring Mara Sugar to your table and today we dedicate this award to them. As an organisation, we want to distinguish ourselves by supplying the market with a quality product all year long.”
In 2024, the company is set to go even further to set high standards, encourage innovation and pursue excellence based on the company’s new mission, vision and values. Transmara Sugar Company will continue to give farmers access to dedicated farming services and expert training, so that they can grow and sell sugar that benefits their family and the local community.
