Chemitec

What Chemitec does

Chemitec is a 100% Brazilian, family-administered veterinary pharmaceutical company founded in 1996 and headquartered in São Paulo. The company manufactures and distributes a broad portfolio of veterinary medications and disinfectants for production animals (cattle, swine, poultry, equine, goats and sheep) and companion animals (dogs and cats), operating sub-brands and trademarks including Chemitril®, Gentatec®, Quatermon®, Beroseg®, Ivertec®, and the ChemiPet Care consumer line.

Products are formulated as species-specific dosages spanning antibiotics (enrofloxacin, gentamicin, florfenicol), anti-inflammatories (dexamethasone, flunixin, meloxicam), anti-hemoparasitics (imidocarb-based Beroseg), endectocides (Ivertec/ivermectin), anthelmintics (ricobendazole), diuretics, therapeutic topicals, and a range of quaternary-ammonium, phenolic, iodophor, and chlorhexidine-based disinfectants. Chemitec operates its own industrial plant in São Paulo for partial production, with the remainder produced by third-party manufacturers under its Quality Assurance oversight, and reports monthly production volumes exceeding 500,000 units. An agricultural extension, Quatermon Agrícola, applies the company's One Health framing to orange, potato, and coffee crops.

The company monetizes through one-time product sales distributed via specialized veterinary representatives, distributors, resellers, pet shops, agricultural supply stores, and its own online storefront. Customers comprise Brazilian livestock operations, veterinarians, and pet owners, with no disclosed enterprise anchor accounts. Marketing relies on an owned blog, Instagram, a weekly YouTube technical video series, and WhatsApp for direct consumer support. The company emphasizes "melhor custo-benefício" (best cost-benefit) as its core value proposition and is privately held with no disclosed institutional capital, subsidiaries, M&A, or partnerships.
