02 / OUR ORIGINS
A family story.
Vietnamese roots.
Founded by Nguyen Thi Tam in 1990, Elmar began as a local producer of herbal teas in Vietnam.
From herbal powders and dried teas to retail tea packs, a small family operation grew into a team spanning production, warehousing and distribution. By 1994, its herbal products reached more than 20 provinces in northern Vietnam.
Since 2018, Nguyen Thanh Son has led the second generation, bringing Vietnamese cinnamon, star anise and other agricultural ingredients to customers in more than 20 countries.
