What Cimatec does
Cimatec SAC is a privately held Peruvian laboratory equipment distributor (Sociedad Anónima Cerrada) headquartered in Lima, operating under the Cimatec and Cimatec.pe brands. The company functions as an authorized channel partner for more than ten international laboratory instrument and consumables manufacturers, including BUCHI (distillation, spray drying, extraction), Analytik Jena (atomic spectrometry), Memmert (climate chambers, incubators, ovens), Ohaus (balances, moisture analyzers), InforsHT (bioreactors), Microtrac MRB (particle characterization), Astell (autoclaves/sterilizers), Poulten & Graf (dispensers and dosing systems), Azlon (plastic labware), SCHMIDT+HAENSCH (online purity analyzers), Jasco (HPLC/SFC), HITACHI (SEM microscopes), EVOQUA (water treatment), and Scion Instruments. Its product catalog spans analytical instruments, sterilization equipment, weighing and moisture analysis, electrochemistry, liquid handling, particle characterization, and digital catalogs.
Cimatec generates revenue through one-time sales of laboratory equipment, materials, and reagents to laboratories and industrial customers in Peru, with secondary reach into Brazil and Colombia via participation in regional supplier meetings. The go-to-market is sales-led: a direct field sales team supplemented by a website-based digital catalog and inquiry/quotation flow, with no publicly disclosed pricing and no standardized tiered model. Demand generation relies on seminars co-hosted with brand partners (e.g., Analytik Jena atomic-spectrometry seminars in Arequipa and Huancayo), exhibitions at Peruvian universities, and organic social channels (Facebook, Instagram, X).
The company holds ISO 14001:2015 (Environmental Management) and ISO 37001:2016 (Anti-Bribery Management) certifications, both issued in April 2023, which strengthen its eligibility for regulated tenders in food, pharmaceutical, mining, and petrochemical verticals. It has been recognized by BUCHI as the top-performing distributor in Latin America for three consecutive years (2020, 2021, 2022), reflecting durable execution across its core brand relationship.
