Pacific Manufacturers Pte Limited is the exclusive manufacturer of safety matches in Fiji & the wider South Pacific (excl. PNG). We also fill & pack household bleach, and import mosquito coils under the iconic Hibiscus brand.
Over 50 years in Fiji. Swedish Match (70s-90s) → ex-employee syndicate → current owners (Leqa family & Raj Vytilingam) since 2003. The late Mrs Kiji Leqa (MD 2010–2014) laid the foundation for our current success.
90% Fiji (850k population) · 10% Pacific Islands (~6M). 60% rural (core matches). Exports to Kiribati, Tahiti, Tonga, PNG for 40+ years.
Matches hold 70% vs lighters 30%. Youth shift to lighters → we plan to introduce Hibiscus Cricket lighters.
