Faithful to its horizontal growing and integration culture, Sociedad Agrícola e Industrial San Carlos S.A., one of the bigger sugar factories of Ecuador, creates in 1993 "Sociedad de Destilación de Alcoholes S.A. SODERAL" , as its main share partner.

SODERAL from the beginning uses a leading technological process in order to achieve the higher quality standards in every product, fact that is reflected on every finished product

Starting with the raw cane melaza delivered by Ingenio San Carlos, SODERAL produces the best Extra Neutral Ethilic Alcohol of 96°G.L. In order to diversify its activities, in January 2000 started the production of Anhydrid Ethanol of 99.7° G.L using the innovative system of molecular filtres.

The fruits of the efforts made in order to maintain itself faithful to its politics of quality were paid in August 2001, when SODERAL obtained the ISO 9001:2000 certificate for the production and commercialization of extra neutral alcohol and Anhydrid Ethanol.

SODERAL and CODANA forms the more experienced and important alcohol producer group of Ecuador.
