Group Introduction

The Salamone family business began in 1994 with SVEBA, a small laboratory for the formulation and production of nutraceutical extracts and foods. Over the years, Sveba, the “original” company of the group – which has now grown to an international scale – has been joined by other complementary companies, all producing products and services dedicated to wellness and personal care. The fundamental element that they all share is the exclusive use of natural, highly regulated, and certified raw materials of superior quality. VOS Group was established to structure this network of companies into a single company, capable of managing the entire product chain internally, from the cultivation of vegetable, plant, and herbal raw materials to the marketing of the finished product, thanks to the considerable size, vast expertise, and extensive resources of all the companies combined. For VOS Group, the advantage of synergic capabilities made available by the network of associate companies is a key factor that has contributed to its success. Each of the companies below either operate jointly or provide their services individually.

When you dream, you have to dream big. At the same time, when you imagine your company, you shouldn’t limit your vision to something that seems possible. And the Salamone family truly has the ability to "think outside the box," to take risks, be unique, innovative and push the limits.

Managerial competency depends on the ability to give answers, but leadership is a matter of asking questions. And the first question is not "what are we going to do?” Rather, it is "who do we want to be?" For VOS Group, the response is very clear: we want to be people capable of contributing to the sustainable development of Italian economies, building market-leading businesses through a targeted approach and continuous improvement.

We believe that people who are attentive to innovation and quality can change our sector for the better. We have had the opportunity to work with some of the most talented individuals and organizations in the industry and have learned that people who think outside the box enough to believe they can change things are the ones who actually do.
