The products that Sarantis distributes to the market in order to cover the daily needs of consumers in the wider area of Eastern and Southeastern Europe constitute its driving force. More specifically, the company maintains a significant portfolio of own and distributed consumer products, which could be classified into three product categories that serve the Group's development:
- the Fragrances & Cosmetics
- the Household Products
- the products that belong to the category Other Sales
The Fragrances & Cosmetics and the Household Products constitute the basic growth pillars of Sarantis Group, while the majority of these categories is made up of own brands that are produced in the Group's modern facilities in Greece, Poland, Romania and Hungary. What is more, part of the company's strategy is the further enhancement of the group's own brand portfolio and the further increase of their leading market shares. In addition, the company maintains a major portfolio with consumer products from leading companies internationally via agreements of exclusive distribution. The category of Other Sales includes the sub categories of Health & Care Products and Selective Products. Furthermore, the Group has a joint venture with Estee Lauder Hellas for the distribution of Estee Lauder products in Greece, Romania and Bulgaria.
Fragrances & Cosmetics
The Fragrances & Cosmetics business unit is one of the two organic growth drivers of Sarantis Group, while at least 20 brands in its portfolio are own brands. The Fragrances & Cosmetics business unit is of high strategic importance for the management, whose ultimate goal is to further increase the participation of own brands in the total Fragrances & Cosmetics portfolio. Sarantis' products meet customers' needs and set the market trends and developments. Sarantis' brands, such as STR8, C-THRU, BU, CARROREN and ORZENE record leading market shares as they score high in customers' preferences.

Household Products
Sarantis Household Products constitute a continuously developing product category for the Group. During the recent years, the Household Products of the Sarantis Group are persistently the first choice amongst both Greek and foreign consumers. This is why the household product sector is considered as one of the most important for the Group's strategic development, ranking in second position in terms of its contribution to total turnover during 2008.
Particular reference should be made to the portfolio of products that constitute the household sector which mainly comprises of own-products and includes the brands SANITAS, CAMEL, AFROSO, TEZA, FINO etc. It is noted that the reinforcement of the income contribution from own Household Products is in line with the management's new strategy. The fact that the Household Products are ranked first in their categories both in Greece and in foreign markets, thus constituting one of the main inputs for the Group's income, is quite important.
