History
Blanche, Birger Co Ltd (Blanche, Birger) is a family business incorporated in Mauritius in 1953 as the representative of NCR for mechanical cash registers/accounting machines, general retailer of household and hardware products. Blanche, Birger began its regionalisation process in 1955 by opening an office in Madagascar followed by another one in Reunion Island in 1957.
Blanche, Birger soon diversified its activities to other sectors of the economy such as Insurance Brokerage, Building Materials and Office Equipment activities. In the early 1970’s, the company installed its first main frame NCR computer and opened its service bureau, providing electronic data processing for local companies.
In 2010, it was decided to focus the activities of the company on providing technology solutions and services in Mauritius and the Indian Ocean region. On 30th of April 2015, the strategic metamorphosis of Blanche, Birger culminated with the unveiling and launch of its new brand: BIRGER.
