Alimentos Sanygran, one of the most innovative companies with the highest investment in the Plant-Based sector, welcomes PONSO as a new strategic shareholder
Since its inception, Sanygran has stood out for its investment in R D and technology, to the point of being the only company that currently has three in-house technologies for the production of plant-based products and ingredients. In 2022, after an investment of 3 million euros, it incorporated high humidity extrusion technologies and the patented "Veggian" (developed by the Ctic-Cita technology center). This positions the company as a plant-based industrial reference at the national level. Industrial consolidation has led Sanygran to begin its internationalization plan in 2022, as demonstrated by the active participation in the different reference fairs in the sector food and ingredients both inside and outside its borders. The strategy of Sanygran, a company led by Roselyne Chane, is based on its positioning in the entire vegetable protein value chain. Thus, it has begun to strengthen its marketing of innovative ingredients and has recently created the Navasan® brand under which it markets the products obtained from the protein extraction plant located in Caparroso (Navarra). With these actions carried out by the company, Sanygran echoes its values in terms of innovation and sustainability, recently recognized with the latest awards for the company, including the innovation award at the last Free From fair in Amsterdam, the seven products in its portfolio which were recognized with the SIAL Innovation Paris Selection 2022 seal and the Innovation award at the VII Edition of the Alimenta Navarra Awards. Sanygran is immersed in an acceleration phase, and the entry of PONSO into the capital will allow the company to establish itself in this period with new investments of 3 million euros in 2023 to triple its industrial capacity in wet extrusion and incorporating a new technology in 2023 in addition to the 4 million invested in the last two years. The 'Family Office' of the Pont Soriano family, closely linked to the agri-food sector, is represented on the Board by Antonio Pont, recognized for his long career at a national and international level, and currently holds the position of executive president of Crisol de Frutos Secos and is a director of various companies in the food sector. PONSO began its activity more than 25 years ago, and during its long career it has managed to become a relevant shareholder of renowned companies in the sector, highlighting Borges International Group and Grupo Apex. The investment made in Sanygran leads him to form part of its shareholders with 20%. With this support from the PONT family, his commitment to healthy eating and businesses that add value to the national industrial fabric is demonstrated once again.
