VAPCO

What VAPCO does

VAPCO Manufacturing CO. Ltd. is a Jordan-based, privately held specialty chemicals manufacturer established in 1975 in Dhuleil (approximately 50 km northeast of Amman), with headquarters in Amman. The company produces a broad portfolio across three business lines: veterinary pharmaceuticals (including antibiotics, anthelmintics, vitamins, disinfectants, anticoccidials, and sterile injectable products), agricultural pesticides (insecticides, acaricides, fungicides, herbicides, rodenticides, molluscicides, seed dressings, fertilizers, and plant growth regulators), and public health insecticides/rodenticides for vector control.

The company operates three dedicated factories — a veterinary preparations plant, a liquid agricultural pesticides plant, and a powdered agricultural pesticides plant — with stated daily capacity of 15 MT veterinary products, 10 MT disinfectants, and 75–100 MT agricultural pesticides, supported by an in-house ISO 17025-accredited quality control laboratory and a dedicated R&D department. Manufacturing is GMP-compliant and adheres to international pharmacopoeia (USP/B.P.) as well as WHO, FAO, and CIPAC standards.

VAPCO makes money through direct B2B sales of manufactured goods, primarily via a horizontal segmentation approach: domestic sales are handled by in-house teams of veterinarians and agricultural engineers conducting field visits to farms and warehouses, while international sales reach 80+ countries through appointed agents and distributors. The company holds ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, 17025, and 17065 certifications, the Jordanian Quality Mark, and additional GMP certifications from regulators in Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Uganda, and Jordan. Leadership is family-associated (the Al-Tal family), and General Manager Engineer Jassim Al-Tal (المهندس جاسم التل) oversees operations.
