Tiselab

What Tiselab does

Tiselab S.L. is a Spanish specialty distributor and solutions provider serving the pharmaceutical industry, founded in 1994 and headquartered in Cornellà de Llobregat (Barcelona metropolitan area) with a secondary office in Madrid. The company focuses on GxP-compliant contamination control, microbiology, and process control, organized across three product pillars: (1) Cleanrooms and Disinfection (Salas Limpias y Desinfección) — including surface disinfectants such as OX Virin, aerial decontamination systems like the PharmaFog DSVA system, cleaning tools, biological and chemical indicators for sterilization validation, isolator/RABS gloves and accessories, and GMP washer-dryers distributed from Getinge; (2) Microbiology — environmental monitoring and rapid microbiological methods; and (3) Process — tank agitation, liquid/solid transfer, high-containment systems, instrumentation, and proprietary neutral pH derouging and passivation services for stainless steel systems.

Tiselab's commercial model blends distribution of third-party validated brands (Getinge, Ecolab, AM Instruments, Cantel Medical, Excelsior Scientific, OX-CTA) with its own branded SherpaPharma environmental monitoring software and a technical services layer covering validations, derouging, and post-sale SAT support. Revenue is generated through three streams: equipment and consumables sales (hardware distribution), SherpaPharma software (recurring subscription), and technical/professional services. GTM is sales-led via direct field sales with regionally and category-specialized commercial and technical staff, supplemented by technical content marketing, email/newsletter, and pharmaceutical industry event participation. The company serves pharmaceutical manufacturers requiring compliance with EU GMP and Annex 1, particularly in sterile drug production, water systems, and cleanroom environments, primarily in Spain and broader Europe.

The business has been operating for 25+ years and continues to hire in logistics, supply planning, and IT as of late 2025, signaling ongoing investment in supply chain and digital infrastructure. No funding rounds, acquisitions, or public ownership signals are disclosed, and the company remains privately held as an independently operated Spanish Sociedad Limitada.
