Our Foundation
The name ‘Terrasan’ is derived from the Latin words ‘terra’ and ‘sano’ – meaning ‘healthy earth’. To reflect the Group’s focus on the environment and the industries it operates in, the Terrasan logo and corporate identity comprise colours and elements inspired by planet earth, such as water, earth, and air.
In specific reference to the logo mark, visual representations of these elements are combined to form a subtle fish motif; acting as an illustration of life, but also paying homage to Terrasan’s current investments that have enabled the Group to grow from strength to strength.
