Great company to work with. I’m very grateful for everyone at Illovo.
Always best service, very helpful with available products
Our plant uses automated dispensers — one bad batch of sugar clogs the whole thing. Illovo’s product is so reliable, we’ve cut machine errors by 80%!
We’re in the frozen dessert game — consistency is everything. Illovo’s sugar doesn’t clump, doesn’t crust, blends beautifully. And best of all, it comes in packaging that survives the Cape Town humidity. I literally haven’t had to send a single complaint since we onboarded 6 months ago. Unheard of.
fast reliable shipping. also great products.
Always exceptional quality and delivery. Repeat customer.
We process over 300 tons of raw materials monthly - sugar is the most sensitive. No contamination, garbage or foreign odors have ever been found in the Illovo warehouse. Good job guys!
Big factories like ours hate surprises — and Illovo gets that. No unannounced price jumps, no vanishing stock. When market rates shifted, they called us in advance and worked out a forecasted plan. I wish more suppliers had that kind of honesty and planning.
We’d been sourcing sugar from overseas for years — thinking it was better. Then we tried Illovo. Not only is the product just as clean, but the people are better. Real answers, no runaround, and when we had a stuck shipment, they phoned the border post for us.
From Poland with love! Illovo’s sugar is the smoothest we’ve worked with — no clumping, no moisture in transit, and bags are durable as hell. We import by sea and even after weeks on the water, product arrives perfect.
Had a regulatory audit recently. Inspectors loved the sugar storage area. All thanks to Illovo’s packaging and clear batch labeling. No smudges, no confusion.
Importing to Vietnam was a risk. But Illovo made it seamless. Customs docs were flawless, pricing was honest, and quality? Top-tier. We’ve reordered 4 times already and our candy machines LOVE their sugar.
Illovo’s sugar helped us relaunch our soft drink brand in Rwanda. Local suppliers kept failing us. Illovo not only delivered on spec, but their sales manager even visited our facility to understand our needs.
