Introducing a new product to the market and honing a brand is no easy task. Still, in sixteen years, Santé has successfully expanded its operations globally, increased its business owners’ reach and numbers to keep up with the demand for barley nutraceuticals, and diversified its product line and offerings to its customers and business partners.
With its mantra of Live More. Do More., Santé continues its goal of offering Filipinos high-quality barley grass products to enhance their health and well-being, while also serving as a preferred partner for achieving a better life. Within sixteen years, Santé has dominated the barley grass industry and successfully risen up to be on top, positioning the brand as the barley authority that Filipinos can take pride in.
This was the theme of Santé’s 16th Anniversary, which kicked off with a press conference at the Santé International Headquarters in Silang, Cavite on Monday, August 14. Guests gathered to commemorate Santé’s significant milestones from its humble beginnings to where the brand is now: at the top, yet still rising up to the challenge of making an impact on people’s well-being and quality of life, extending beyond borders and touching the lives of individuals across countries and cultures to help them live better lives.
