Sarona is a young company with a rich history. We trace our roots back to 1953 when a group of businesspeople formed a private investment company to invest in the Sarona Dairy in Paraguay, South America.

The Sarona Dairy investment was different from other investments: it aimed to generate financial returns and stimulate the development of the struggling local economy. This combination of sound investment principles and social values paid off. The community flourished and the investment itself ultimately spawned an industry that served 70% of Paraguay’s dairy market.
