Danube Home signs new franchise with Hyvec Group in Mauritius

Danube Home International, which is part of Danube Group, signed a master franchise agreement with Hyvec Group, to expand Danube Home in Mauritius.

Hyvec Group plans to open three franchise stores in the next one year – including a large-format showroom spreading across 50,000 square feet – that will not only cater to residents but tourists as well.

The first showroom is expected to open in November this year.

“Our global expansion means we will export more home furnishing products to the rest of the world from the UAE that will not only boost UAE’s export and re-export, but also help the UAE economy grow further,” said Adel Sajan, group MD of Danube Home.

Danube Home is currently present across 12 countries, including UAE, Oman, Egypt, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Rwanda, Uganda, Nepal, Sudan, Nigeria and India.

The company is planning to open eight showrooms across the globe – including two in India, one each in Abu Dhabi, Bangladesh, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, Zambia and Senegal, in the next six months.

Hyvec Group is the franchise partner of renowned global brands in Mauritius, including Burger King, Armani, Gant, Tommy Hilfiger, Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein and Mont Blanc, among others.

Eshan Chady, chairman of Hyvec Group, said, “Danube Home has a wide collection of products. We look forward to a very fruitful partnership with Danube Group to develop the brand in our country further.”

Sayed Habib, director of Danube Home, Business Development, E-Commerce and Franchise, says, “Mauritius is an important market for Danube Home and its presence will help our brand visibility into not only a new territory, but due to the arrival of international tourists, our products and brand image will also expand to many other countries.

“Through our partnership with Hyvec Group, we plan to serve a growing number of consumers and give them a better value with new and innovative space-saving home décor that will give them more livable space.”
