ZOOPAN

What ZOOPAN does

ZOOPAN is a Portuguese manufacturer of veterinary pharmaceuticals and animal nutrition products, founded in 1980 and headquartered in Aveiras de Baixo, Portugal. The company operates as a subsidiary of Grupo Lusiaves, a Portuguese diversified conglomerate. ZOOPAN produces a portfolio spanning three categories: animal health medicines (including antiseptic Clorhexidina 1%, respiratory treatment Broncolis, and dewormer Vermizoo), animal nutrition products (including Zoostart GR for calves and various mineral and vitamin supplements), and hygiene and biosafety products (biocides and detergents). Products target both production animals — poultry, cattle, pigs, sheep, goats, and rabbits — and companion animals including dogs, cats, songbirds, carrier pigeons, and equines. ZOOPAN was the first Portuguese company to obtain Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) certification in the animal health and nutrition sector, and additionally holds ISO 9001 and FAMI-QS certifications.

The company's manufacturing is supported by internal specialized departments covering quality control, regulatory affairs, and pharmacovigilance, which enable compliance and international market authorization across multiple countries. ZOOPAN operates a dual go-to-market approach: products are distributed through a network of licensed veterinary product distributors — recruited via a 'Be a Distributor' (Ser Distribuidor) program — while prescription-only veterinary medicines are sold directly to animal health professionals through a gated online 'Reserved Area' (Área Reservada) requiring professional credentials. The company supplements these channels with technical events such as the '10th Technical Milk Production Meeting' and 'Animal Feeding Days' seminars, and provides downloadable product catalogs covering rural animals, pigeon racing, ornithology, and companion animals (Petuga).

Revenue derives from product sales across veterinary medicines, animal nutrition, and hygiene products, supplemented by private label manufacturing services offered to third-party brands leveraging ZOOPAN's GMP-certified facilities. ZOOPAN carries a 44-year operating history but maintains a small team of 11-50 employees. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; product catalogs are distributed as downloads and prescription medicines are gated behind professional credentialing. No public revenue, funding, or ownership details beyond the Lusiaves parent relationship are available in the source data.
