What Algabo does
Algabo S.A. is an Argentine privately-held consumer packaged goods (CPG) company headquartered in Tortuguitas, Partido de Malvinas Argentinas, Buenos Aires Province. The firm operates a multi-brand portfolio spanning personal care, baby and child care, household cleaning, insect repellents, feminine care, sun protection, and pet care, with named brands including Algabo, Vais (including Vais Home and Vais Ultra Ecopack), Asana, Cocoa Beach, and Greenwood. The company differentiates via dermatologically tested formulations, a refill packaging format aimed at plastic reduction, and a children's line that leverages licensed entertainment franchises (Paw Patrol, Frozen, Avengers, Star Wars, Hello Kitty) under the Algabo Licencias umbrella.
Algabo's commercial model is omnichannel and mass-consumer. It sells through its own e-commerce storefront (tienda.algabo.com), distributes through retail and pharmacy channels across Argentina, and opened its first physical flagship store at Abasto Shopping in June 2025. International expansion is signalled by participation in Cosmoprof North America (February 2025) and a dedicated international trade (Comex) function. Brand engagement is supported by an organic social presence on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube plus sports sponsorships such as the Boca Juniors hockey team.
Algabo is led by founder-CEO Alberto Bollati and reports between 11 and 50 employees per available firmographic data. The company has achieved two consecutive Great Place To Work certifications in Argentina, with employee acceptance rising from 80% to 89%. No revenue, funding round, investor, or parent-company information is disclosed in the input material; the company appears independently owned and operated with no identified VC or institutional capital backing.
