Grup Gepork

What Grup Gepork does

Grup Gepork is a privately held Spanish veterinary group (legal entity CENTAURO VETERINARIA S.A.), headquartered in Masies de Roda, Barcelona, and founded in 1979. The company operates three wholly-owned business units: Gepork (porcine artificial insemination and genetic selection, distributing PIC, Hermitage, and German Genetic swine lines), Centauro (zoosanitary and companion-animal product distribution to veterinary clinics and pet stores, including the proprietary Milú own-brand range of rest products, dry food, accessories, and natural snacks), and Bionet (biosecurity, pest control, companion-animal incineration, waste management, and laboratory analysis for pharmaceutical, veterinary, food, livestock, and government clients).

The group's core technology stack is logistics- and biology-driven rather than software-driven. A 6,500 m2 automated logistics center in Gurb, equipped with Exotec Skypod robotic storage and retrieval, centralizes distribution of medications, feed, equipment, consumables, hygiene products, and animal accessories in compliance with EU Regulation 2019/6 on Good Distribution Practices. Quality and environmental management are certified to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 (Bureau Veritas). The Innovation Committee has executed 45+ projects spanning genetics, traceability, and animal biosecurity. There is no disclosed AI/ML capability, software platform, or API surface.

Grup Gepork's revenue model is predominantly transactional B2B distribution, complemented by professional services (Bionet) and own-brand hardware sales (Milú). GTM is sales-led, targeting veterinary clinics, pet stores, independent veterinarians, livestock farmers, and animal production businesses through direct engagement, dedicated business-unit websites, and customer registration portals. The company sells exclusively within Spain (no global footprint claimed), with a headcount in the 11-50 range, suggesting a mid-sized domestic specialist rather than a multi-national platform.
