What Droguería 20 de Junio does

Droguería 20 de Junio S.A. is an Argentine pharmaceutical and perfumery wholesaler (droguería) founded in 1980 and headquartered in Rosario, Santa Fe. The company distributes ethical pharmaceuticals (especialidades medicinales) and perfumery/cosmetics products to over 3,000 pharmacy clients across Argentina, with deepest coverage in the southern littoral and northern Buenos Aires regions. It operates as a full-service distributor, combining a broad product catalog, an automated/robotized order preparation system, temperature-controlled storage with permanent monitoring, and thermal packaging for transit, supported by a proprietary GPS-monitored delivery fleet that enables same-day or 24-hour delivery.

The business model is B2B distribution on credit terms (cuenta corriente) to pharmacies, with order capture available through four parallel channels: a 24/7 web portal, an Android mobile application, a telephone call center staffed by trained operators, and real-time online chat. The company additionally integrates with third-party pharmacy management software to ingest orders directly. Payment collection is diversified across bank cash deposits (Banelco and Link ATM networks via a dedicated magnetic card, 24-48 hour crediting), POS terminals (Posnet/LaPos accepting Visa, MasterCard, Cabal, and Visa Débito/Maestro), and a Visa Distribution credit facility that extends pharmacy payment terms. No public pricing is disclosed; business customers must apply for an account through the commercial department.

The company is privately held (no parent, no disclosed institutional investors, no public listing) and reports 251–500 employees with no recent funding rounds, acquisitions, or leadership changes documented in the available data. Technology investments to date are operational (robotics, web/mobile portals, GPS, temperature monitoring) rather than AI-native, and the company operates exclusively within Argentina.
