ABOUT US
Our Journey
Founded in 2015, HEP – Essential Oils of the Pangalanes continues a long-standing family commitment to agriculture and export in Madagascar.
For over 80 years, our family has contributed to enhancing the country’s natural resources through the cultivation and export of essential oils (clove, niaouli, ylang-ylang, ravintsara, geranium, ginger, vanilla) and spices (pepper, cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, cloves, pink peppercorns, vanilla).
HEP was created with the goal of modernizing this heritage by combining traditional expertise with the current demands of international trade.
By working directly with local producers, we prioritize short supply chains that foster transparency, reliability, and competitiveness—from Malagasy fields to our international partners.

Our principles are based on six core values:
-
Excellence & Quality: rigorous selection, compliant with international standards.
-
Sustainability: responsible practices that support communities and protect the environment.
-
Traceability: full transparency throughout the process.
-
Innovation: bridging local heritage with modern methods.
-
Shared Value: fair prices for producers and competitive prices for clients.
