What American Farmagrup does
The company's business model combines hardware sales (capital and laboratory equipment distribution) with recurring technical services including installation, preventive and corrective maintenance, calibration, equipment qualification, and cleaning validation consulting. GTM is sales-led: direct field sales supported by technical consultation and after-sales service, with demand generated through industry trade shows (Achema, Andina Pack, Farmacosmética), social media channels (LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram), and email/newsletter marketing. The customer base is enterprise B2B — pharmaceutical manufacturers are the primary vertical, with secondary exposure to cosmetics and food — and revenue mechanics reflect the lumpy, project-driven nature of capital-equipment sales supplemented by service annuity streams tied to the installed base. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and requires direct consultation.
