History

The history of LABORATORIOS SANOR dates back to 1929 when the company was set up under the name of Infusiones SUSARÓN, a family business founded by D. Froilán Rascón Reyero. Taking advantage of the natural resources to be found in the mountains of Leon, he personally selected the various medicinal herbs which grew around the Susarón crag located in Puebla de Lillo, León (to which it owes its name). The products were sold at the “FEVE” narrow gauge railway station in the town of Boñar to travellers aboard the Trans-Cantabrian line when trains made their daily stop at the town.

Mission, Vision, Values

Our raison d’être, our goal, is clearly defined in the origin our company. To offer products which provide health and wellness to our consumers by carrying out thorough checks in the selection and processing of the raw materials we use.

Our long-term future goal as a company is to pursue our commitment to provide quality and to forge ahead as leaders in the sector.

Organisation

LABORATORIOS SANOR is today one of the leading Spanish firms in the sector by turnover and market share. It has what is arguably the best and most well-known brand name in the infusion and herbal tea sector (SUSARÓN), which gives us our position as a leader.

All of this has been made possible thanks to the development of a corporate and personnel structure headed by the General Director who is involved in the day-to-day running of the firm together with the other managerial departments.

Distribution channels

Strengthening our desire to develop a major company, in 1969 we began to distribute our first products overseas, SUSARÓN Infusiones y SUSARÓN Tisanas (SUSARÓN Infusions and SUSARÓN Herbal teas), and in 2008 our products were sold in 25 countries spread over the five continents.

R+D

LABORATORIOS SANOR devotes 5% of its turnover every year to the R+D department, where research and analysis of the various herbs and their varieties are constantly being carried out to create new products in the health sector. These come from many different places, ranging from the jungles of South East Asia to the slopes of the Andes in South America.

Guarantee and Quality

Every one of the processes used by LABORATORIOS SANOR complies with current Food Safety Legislation in each of the countries where our products are sold, and employs the latest Quality Control Systems, as well as implementing a modern traceability system for all products, developed specifically for our company by ITCL (the Castilla y León Technology Institute).

RSC and Ethics

More than merely seeking to make a profit, our Corporate Social Responsibility and social commitment mean we must act responsibly for our common future, a future of which we form part as a member of society. We are aware that we can do most for society by contributing to its financial prosperity, creating job opportunities, investing capital. In short, through our day-to-day work, the company is having a profound and positive impact on society, based on a respect towards the principles of sustainable development which we undertake as a commitment.
