Tarmal Industries Ltd - Dar Es Salaam

The origins of the company date back to 1909 when it was established under the name of Bharmal Oil Mills on the Island of Zanzibar. We have always been active in the manufacturing of soap and detergents. Later the company relocated to Dar es Salaam on the mainland and in 1965 the company became known as Tarmal Industries. In 1975 we set up SAIL (Soap And Allied Industries) as a second entity to incorporate and expand the production capacity of our soap division.

The company has been owned and managed by the Bharmal family for four generations, and we have always promoted the values of reliability, delivering quality and respect for the environment. We have always been at the forefront of the industry in Tanzania, using the most modern equipment, and always keep focused on the needs of
