Health
Over the years, Adeste has transformed by-products of natural origin into big businesses, generating value for the planet, for employees, customers and in the communities in which it operates. This concern for well-being began in the food sector and expanded to health in the group’s first decade.
Today, our three business units that work to promote health are market leaders in the production and sale of active pharmaceutical ingredients, surgical suture threads and fetal bovine serum.
Sodium Heparin and Chondroitin Sulphate
Our site in Jaguapitã, Paraná, specializes in research and development, manufacturing and marketing of active pharmaceutical ingredients of bovine and porcine origin, with emphasis on Sodium Heparin (anticoagulant) and Chondroitin Sulfate (cartilage replacement).
Brazil is one of the biggest powers in the world of livestock farming. With one of the largest cattle and pig herds on the planet, the country offers us privileged access to high-quality raw materials. We work exclusively with inputs acquired from slaughterhouses inspected by the Federal Inspection Service (FIS) of the Ministry of Agriculture, which reinforces the safety and quality of our products, which have 100% traceability and are manufactured on dedicated production lines.
We are inspected annually by the Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) and have certifications that attest to our quality, such as Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Halal. Through strict controls and a highly qualified team, we guarantee the delivery of the best products to the market.
Catgut – Suture threads
One of the largest companies in the world in the Catgut segment, our site in Araçatuba offers suture threads with greater uniformity and resistance. Its foundation dates back to 1974, when we started producing suture threads and tennis rackets, in partnership with a French company. In 1996, we decided to specialize in the production of absorbable suture threads, being aware of the importance of suture quality in the success of the surgical procedure. We work hard to develop partnerships with clients to meet demand with excellence. Today, with over 35 years operating in the market, we are world leaders in the segment, exporting simple and chrome catgut threads to all continents.
Fetal Serum
Founded in 1986, we are the largest producer in Latin America of high-quality fetal bovine serum, essential in the development of vaccines, scientific research and cell culture media. Our serum was widely used in vaccine development and production during the pandemic, meeting the growing demand from universities, research institutes and pharmaceutical companies. Production takes place at our site in Campo Grande, where we constantly invest in improving processes and the quality management system, ensuring excellence and total satisfaction of our customers, employees, suppliers and regulatory bodies.
