SAN Group is a multinational corporation. We offer goods and services to our customers and manage investments on five continents. Driven by contributing to the development of a better tomorrow, we invest in what we understand and have a passion for: animal health, crop protection and nutrition, food safety, real estate development, as well as green energies. This passion is not only our “burning wick in the candle” but it’s also the driver behind our growth and success.



The operations and investments of SAN Group stand firm on three legs: SAN Vet (animal health), SAN Agrow (plant health), and SAN Venture (planet health).

ANIMAL HEALTH

Global Business Unit
SAN Vet

SAN Vet is dedicated to healthy life stock farming. This is achieved though biosecurity, vet diagnostic & services, in-vitro PCR-diagnosticavaccines, and veterinary medicals. All goes hand in hand with premium customer consulting and service. Through innovative in-house research and development facilities as well as partnerships with external institutions and universities, SAN Vet is continuously expanding in new markets and securing the quality of its portfolio. SAN Vet comprises the brands AniCon®, AniVac®, Kylt®, and Sanphar®.

We contribute to sustainable agriculture by providing biotechnological crop protection (biopesticides, biofungicides, bioherbicides), nutrients, and plant growth regulators as well as technical adjuvants. With products based on microorganisms or plant extracts, we are contributing to more sustainable agriculture. Through strong in-house R+D, we gain new insights in the areas of microbial biocontrol agents, microbial fermentations, plant extracts, biostimulants, as well as plant nutrition, and thus develop new products contributing to sustainable organic and conventional crop farming.

A BETTER FUTURE DEMANDS INVESTMENTS
