Together towards a sustainable world and healthier living.
A long-standing pioneer. A family business with a hands-on mentality. A down-to-earth global player and sustainability expert.
SARIA is all of the above and much more. What started in the German countryside is now, over half a century later, a worldwide network of operations in many industries that seemingly have nothing in common at first sight.
But if you ask us, they have more in common than they have differences. Whether it’s energy, pet food, or pharmaceutical ingredients, at the heart of everything we do is a fundamental desire to contribute to a healthy planet and the well-being of all life on earth by (re)using organic materials in which others no longer see any value. This approach paired with innovative circular thinking and a lot of passion has enabled us to play an active role in the most vital movement of our time, championing sustainability and nurturing a greener future for all.
