The relationship between the Dalle family and flax started 300 years ago along the Lys River. Every generation of the Dalle family has been involved in the flax industry and has developed an engrained passion for it. SANECO is the result of this passion.
SANECO, a family company which has become the lead player in the flax industry
Experts in flax for over three centuries, SANECO’s history began in 1950 when Gabriel Dalle set up a company specialising in sourcing flax. Two years later, he started traveling around Eastern Europe and Egypt, looking to conquer the world.
In 1978, the goal of conquering the world over was still in full swing and now expanded to China. Our CEO, Benoît Dalle, traveled to the Far East, hoping to build partnerships. It is the beginning of a business relationship with China.
The company then continues its expansion by opening an office in Beijing in 1998, followed in 2002 by a 5000 sqm logistics centre.
Acknowledging the importance of the Eastern Europe region to the industry and pushed by its pioneering spirit, SANECO sets up a Franco-Lithuanian subsidiary in order to further expand its activity.
In 2005, SANECO opened a logistics centre in the Nile Delta.
SANECO possesses know-how, combined with tradition, modernity and passion. The company has rapidly developed a global approach and gained invaluable experience over the years. This has resulted in products, which are made of fibres sourced from the best manufacturing locations, guaranteeing quality, a competitive price and traceability.
Today, SANECO is one of the oldest companies specialising in flax in France. It is now a benchmark in the flax industry, combining know-how, responsiveness and competitiveness.
