50th anniversary of SOFRASER

In this year 2022, Sofraser celebrates its 50th anniversary. Inventor of the first resonant vibrating viscometer, our company designs, manufactures and markets measuring equipment enabling our customers to control their production in order to minimize material consumption and avoid rejects.

Our sensors operate continuously 24/7 for decades, without maintenance, at our customers’ sites, demonstrating their robustness and reliability and our viscometers are guaranteed for 7 years.

Founded in 1972, Sofraser is a pioneer in process viscosity monitoring and is today a world leader in industrial viscometers.

This 50th anniversary is an opportunity to highlight our commitment to CSR and our circular approach, implemented since 2000.

Award for the Loiret Trophy

Sofraser, a member of the Ana Bell Group, is proud to have won two departmental and national awards. Including the Loiret trophy, in the societal commitment category.

This prize is awarded to a company that promotes inclusion and quality of life at work. But also implementing an energy, environmental or CSR transition plan. And adopts a corporate travel plan and takes concrete actions towards a strong societal commitment.

This award recognizes 20 years of community service by the Ana Bell Group and its members, including its environmental commitments.

This award is given to the whole group:

SOFRASER, a pioneer in process viscosity measurement, designs, manufactures and markets measuring equipment allowing its customers to control their production. Allowing material consumption and waste to be minimized.

SOFRASER MAINTENANCE, maintenance for energy efficiency and cleaning of industrial installations allows its customers to remove insulating deposits in the creation and heat exchange installations, reducing fuel consumption, polluting emissions and extending the life of the installations.

ANAEL, distributor of online measurement and analysis instruments, allowing industries to control their production in order to minimize materials consumed and waste and to continuously monitor the regulatory and environmental compliance of their releases.

Sofraser winner of the CSR Challenge Trophy

Sofraser, as a member Ana Bell Group is proud to have been awarded the CSR Challenge Trophy in the environmental category.

In the early 2000s, we pioneered the Global Performance of the Young Leaders Centre (CJD) and AFNOR’s 1000NR approach.

This trophy, more than just certifications, is a strong signal for us that our commitments are consistent and bring real added value to the region.

For Sofraser, more than 65% of supplies are local (nearer and/or more sustainable purchasing policy). Supplier evaluation criteria take into account remoteness and CSR commitments.

Our viscometers, eco-designed to be as robust as possible, reusable, fully removable and recyclable, have been operating 24/7 for decades. They are the best ambassadors of our CSR commitment, and allow us to control the manufacturing processes in order to ensure the final quality result and minimize the materials consumed and waste.

For 15 years, our consumption has been monitored and analyzed. We are taking actions to save resources: installation of a geothermal system, insulation, replacement of the opening, precise monitoring of consumption by use, creation of an energy reference. Actions already taken have led to a 30% reduction in energy consumption and a 50% reduction in water consumption. We reuse cartons for packaging and never buy cushions but use shredded paper. And to limit transport-related emissions, we favor short-circuit shopping, teleworking, remote after-sales service and cycling. We have defined a rule favoring the train over the car or the plane.

CSR policies are a real issue for the future of companies and this trophy is an opportunity to inspire other companies to embark on a CSR policy. It brings real added value to the actions carried out by the company and its teams. We believe that another business model is possible. A model of sharing values, space, skills and knowledge. At Sofraser, we believe in circularity and the virtuous circle of cooperation.
