https://www.sanamholding.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/SANAMAGROLOGO.png

Sanam Holding Group operates in the agri-food industry through the sub-holding company Sanam Agro, which combines a number of businesses in perfect interaction with their ecosystem. 

The agri-food sector includes approximately forty subsidiaries whose range of businesses, together with the intragroup complementarity and synergies that have developed among them, perfectly illustrate the strategies of vertical integration and specialization.

The organization of this sector is based on two major structures: on the one hand, the Unimer Group affiliate, which is responsible for the production and commercialization of seafood products. And on the other hand, the plant foods and local market sector, which is structured around 6 lines of business: sauces and condiments, marinated vegetables, drinks, frozen fruits, fresh products and logistics.

The Sanam Agro Group offers its partners excellent product diversity and associated services adapted to their needs. It is also characterized by a very extensive network across the national territory, and by a vast presence and broad referencing at the international level.

As the number 1 seafood products company in Morocco, Unimer Group is part of the Sanam Agro galaxy of agri-foods businesses. It is positioned among the top Moroccan exporters of preserved sardines and anchovies, and dedicates 90% of its business to exports.

The company brings together 6000 employees, leads a group of subsidiaries within Morocco and abroad, and attributes its success to several key factors: a strong innovation culture, building consumer loyalty, expanding markets, and forging new partnerships.

Unimer Group was founded in June 1973 as a result of the merger of several preserved-fish companies. Over the next five decades, the Group took on a new dimension by diversifying its business sectors, reaching a high growth rate by carrying out top-tier strategic mergers.

Two key dates mark the history of the Unimer Group: the year 2001, when it was first listed on the Casablanca Stock Exchange, and 2012, when its scope of activities came to focus exclusively on seafood products lines.

Its production units are in Morocco, but also in France and Peru. Its distribution network is very dynamic at the international level, with its own business offices domiciled in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Monaco and Spain. Its brand portfolio is powerful, coherent, and balanced, and it creates synergies between production, distribution and communication.

OUR LINES OF BUSINESS

Sauces and Condiments

After starting in 1936, successive partnerships between small companies led, in the 1990s, to a decisive change for VCR, which began to diversify its business, developing its sales on the national market with the launch of new marks like Vima and Pikarome, which cater to the Moroccan consumer, and beginning to conquer the African, European and American markets. Today, VCR offers a vast range of sauces and condiments.
