In 1996, Jean Luc Manneback, an expert in event technology from Belgium, saw potential in Mauritius and embarked on a venture that would redefine the island’s event industry. With a modest beginning in a garage and a handful of lighting equipment for an international congress, Jean Luc Manneback laid the foundation for Impact Production Ltd in 1998.
This move marked the beginning of an era, propelling the company to the forefront of the creative industries in Mauritius.
The early years saw prestigious projects and collaborations that quickly established Impact Production Group as a leader in event technology and production.
Today, the company, with a team of 75 dedicated professionals, is instrumental in about 250 events yearly, ranging from grand weddings to large-scale concerts.
Impact Production Group‘s extensive service offerings, including themed events and pyrotechnic displays, and its expansion into professional seating and temporary infrastructures for major sporting events, underscore its versatility and commitment to excellence.
As it looks forward to pioneering a Creative Industries Park, Impact Production Group continues to be a cornerstone in Mauritius’ events and creative sectors, blending innovation with a rich cultural tapestry to create unforgettable experiences.
