About us

We have a wealth of experience in the field of aniseed, spanning 3 generations. The company’s origins date back to 1940, when Mr Francisco Sancho Lara began to sell aniseed as a commercial agent, connecting growers and companies.

In 1960, after 20 years as a commercial agent, Mr Francisco Sancho Lara decided to start his own production and to invest in facilities. The company’s first export occurred a year later, in 1961, destined for Germany.

During the 70s and 80s there was a scarcity of aniseed on the market due to periods of drought, meaning Anís en Grano Sancho had to resort to imports in order to satisfy the needs of its customers.

Since then, Anís en Grano Sancho has continued to expand into many different countries in Europe and North and South America.

Currently the 3rd and 4th generations are working side by side, and we are immersed in a process of internationalisation, with the aim of expanding our customer portfolio worldwide and consolidating our position on the international scene.

Mission

Supply our customers with aniseed of exceptional quality, adapted to the needs of their manufacturing process and their final product.

Vision

Be a leading company in the spice sector in Europe and America, specialising in aniseed.

Innovation

Advancement, improvement and redesign are the three pillars of our company. Together with our growers, we experiment with new cultivation techniques year after year, incorporating machinery with the latest technology into the production process, and we optimise the management of all areas of our business.

Teamwork

We understand the value one person adds to another’s work when working together in a team. Teamwork promotes a good work environment, and leads to a positive atmosphere that encourages the achievement of personal and organisational goals.

Environmental commitment

As an agricultural food company, the countryside and nature are our closest allies. We promote organic farming and novel forms of agriculture. This makes farming more efficient, and has a positive impact on the environment.

Transparency

Providing all the information requested by our collaborators is the pillar on which the trustworthiness and dependability of our work is based, and it is the starting point for long-term relationships with our stakeholders.

Commitment

We envisage management based on continuous progress, encouraging the interaction and contribution of all our collaborators, and addressing all their needs and demands.
