35 years ago, Nader Rose Water Co. started its activity by producing rose water and herbal extracts in a facility of 400 sq.m built area and one distillation system. The company designed the first rose water and herbal extract pasteurization system and for the first time in Iran, produced and supplied herbal extracts and rose water hygienically. Later, in 1986, the company established the first quality control laboratory in this industry and employed food specialists and microbiologists for controlling the company’s products.

Gradually, with a rise in the company’s activities, the machinery and equipment of the company became more complete, and in 1996, for the first time in Iran, the company was awarded two licences for using the Iranian Standard Emblem for its normal and highly-concentrated rose waters. The distillated water of the company, too, was recognized as a product meeting the requirements of the national standard of Iran.

In order to expand the facilities and benefit from further potentials, Nader Agroindustrial Co. was established in 1992 with the goal of producing rose water, herbal extracts, various kinds of Syrups, jams, essential oils and natural drinks, and began to take necessary measures for founding a big manufacturing complex to start its production activity in several phases. In the beginning, the complex was put into operation on a 8000 sq.m area site in Tous Industrial Estate of Mashhad in 1977 with rose water and herbal extract production lines. In 1999, the R&D department of the company started working in order to conduct research, upgrade the production technology, and develop new products. Every year, the department launches and implements a number of research and applied projects.

In 2001, licenses were obtained for production of various syrups using natural extracts. At present, the company produces six different herbal syrups with rose water, Egyptian willow, sour orange flower, mint, strawberry, and oxymel.

In 2002, the company equipped its factory with a complete line for squeezing juice from lemon and processing the product with a capacity of 5 tons per hour. The line has been put into operation and now Nader natural lemon juice is supplied in various packages and is among the most popular products of the company enjoying an increasing demand from consumers’ side. Production of by-products such as essential oils and pectin from lemon rind, and also production of lemon concentrate are among the projects of the R&D department. Thus, we can commission new lines and by improving the productivity and reducing the imports volume, and make a contribution, though small, towards the economic development of our country.

Simultaneous with commissioning its lemon juice production line, the company started erection of a cold store with a capacity of 300 metric tons for storage of the lemon juice produced by the company. The cold store was put into operation in 2002, and since then has helped the company much in preserving the quality of its produced lemon juice.

Since the date of establishment of the organization, while putting emphasis on a production meeting the requirement of national standards and safeguarding the prestige of domestic production of the country, the management has maintained their belief in the importance of the quality, and has tried to improve customer satisfaction. To further this end, since 2000 the management has implemented and maintained a system based on ISO 9001 as an effective means for attaining total quality management and customer satisfaction.
 

As the company deems it a duty to protect the community’s health and to spread the culture of making proper use of medicinal herbs, it launched research on production of various noncarbonated traditional drinks of plant origin. Thanks to the unremitting endeavors of the experts in R&D department as well as considerable investments on research, in 2006 the company managed to fix the formulation of eight different natural drinks of plant origin, and obtained the necessary health authorization for producing them. At present we are completing the final stage of conducting market survey and customer satisfaction evaluation prior to launching mass production and distribution of the mentioned drinks.
