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.
In 1953, his son-in-law and successor D. Miguel Prieto Gordón, moved the company to a small shop in Araduey street in the city of León, before then expanding and moving on again in 1973 to the Villacedré Industrial Estate (León).
In 1995, the third generation in the shape of his son and grandson of the founding father, D. Miguel Prieto Rascón, was to make an important change which would hail the transformation of a small family firm using traditional production and processing techniques (Infusiones SUSARÓN) into a company with a modern laboratory using the latest methods and technology, which came to be known as LABORATORIOS SANOR, S.A.
Our new facilities built in 2000, located in the Avezales Industrial Estate in La Magdalena (León), boast 3,850 m2 of production and storage areas over a total space of 4,700 m2. This allows us to constantly increase production and also areas for research, development and company marketing.
LABORATORIOS SANOR S.A. is currently one of the leading companies in the infusion and herbal tea sector, boasting facilities which reflect its position as a leader at a national and international scale, and is one which is unquestionably committed to the millions who have placed their trust in our products.
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.
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.
Strengthening our desire to develop a major company, in 1969 we began to distribute our first products overseas, SUSARÓNInfusiones y SUSARÓNTisanas (SUSARÓN Infusions and SUSARÓN Herbal teas), and in 2008 our products were sold in 25 countries spread over the five continents.
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.
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).
