Talys SAU, trading as Groupe Talys, is a Madagascar-based, family-owned multi-sector holding company established in 1993 and headquartered in Antananarivo. Originally founded through its construction materials brand Sanifer, the group has since diversified across five business segments: distribution and construction, grocery retail (cash-and-carry), e-commerce, real estate, and hospitality and leisure.
