A name, a history

Meaning and Origin of the Group Name

The choice of the name of Les Laboratoires FRATER-RAZES is a contraction of:

FRATER RAZES

FRATER

Because this project was born of an understanding between brothers and sisters, and we wanted this fraternal bond that unites us to reflect the spirit of our company. We wanted to instill these values of living and caring within our company.

RAZES

We wanted to combine this value with what we consider to be as valuable as fraternity: knowledge. As a figure of knowledge, we have chosen the name of the great scientist Abu Bakr Mohamed Ibn Zakariya Al-Razi, better known in Latin under the name of Razes.
