About Us
The group traces its origin to a retail business founded in the 1890s.
Maganlal Kanji Jeraj Manek
1923 – 1984
Our journey is inspired by the vision of our founder, Maganlal Kanji Jeraj Manek, who began as a trader in the 1940s. His unwavering belief in limitless possibilities and entrepreneurial spirit continues to guide our aspirations and achievements.
MAC Group, in its current form, took shape in the early 1990s, but our story began much earlier. Tracing its lineage to a retail business founded in the 1890s, the Group grew through the decades to become a key player in Tanzania’s industrial and economic development.
With roots reaching back to a humble retail venture in the 1890s, MAC Group has evolved into a premier Holding Company with strategic investments across Manufacturing, Banking, Insurance, Real Estate, Shipping Agency, Oil & Gas, Fertiliser, and Agriculture. We remain grounded in heritage yet forward-focused in shaping African enterprise.
At MAC Group, our heritage is built on passion, resilience, and the values that have guided us for generations. With a legacy of impact across Sub-Saharan Africa, we remain committed to shaping industries, empowering people, and uplifting communities. Our portfolio spans FMCG, plastic and metal products manufacturing, agribusiness, mining, shipping agency, real estate, and financial services, including insurance and banking—sectors in which we have secured strong and influential positions across the East African region.
Above all, it is our 10,000-strong team who power our success and carry forward our vision. Each of our businesses is strategically guided by its board, strengthened by the expertise of independent directors, and executed by a professional, multicultural leadership team. This governance framework ensures both accountability and agility, enabling us to deliver sustainable growth, deepen our regional footprint, and extend our legacy of impact for generations to come.
