| Summary | drogueria-saporiti.com.ar zoominfo.com/c/drogueria-saporiti-sacifia/462786110 100GB data stolen! Droguería Saporiti is a century-old Argentine pharmaceutical wholesaler and manufacturer, founded in 1901 in Buenos Aires, now run by the Otero Pose family with ~110 employees and 8,700 m² of facilities. It’s the silent “backbone” of Argentine pharmacies: 3,500+ products, 7,000+ pharmacy clients, wholesale distribution plus imports/exports of raw materials. Its flagship is the legendary Parafarm brand (“orange line” of galenic essentials — vaseline, Pasta Lassar, Agua de Dalibour, hydrogen peroxide) sold nationwide since the 1960s, alongside Sweet Rose, Home Test, Wild Skin and Well Being. It survived a devastating fire in the 1990s and a rough 2014–15 ANMAT season (interjurisdictional trade ban + Parafarm lot withdrawal). Bottom line: a low-profile family institution with huge brand equity — Argentina’s reference house for pharmacy-grade essentials. |
