In 1950 Mr. Lauro Raatz and his wife Sara decided to found an industry that could offer a national product of a very high quality.

The first years were of hard work and efforts but the Raatz family held on with an unyielding faith in the destiny they wanted for Paraguay.
Every day brought new challenges that would their test characters and temperament, but faith helped this couple find the strength to achieve what today is Yerba Mate "Pajarito"... a true:
"National Pride".
The company grew in quality and production quantities year after year
Today new and modern automatic facilities and a permanent staff of over one hundred workers proudly join the production capacity of 20.000 daily kilograms of yerba mate
.

Lauro Raatz S.A., is more than fifty years of experience; it is the triumph of a man in search of noble products to achieve a better life quality with products at an international level.
