What Quimis Aparelhos Científicos does

Quimis Aparelhos Científicos Ltda. is a privately held Brazilian manufacturer of scientific laboratory equipment, founded in 1976 in São Paulo and headquartered in Diadema, with a 95,000 m² manufacturing subsidiary in São Roque inaugurated in 2017. The company designs, manufactures, and distributes a broad catalog spanning more than 60 product categories — magnetic and mechanical stirrers, shaking tables, vacuum and hydro-vacuum pumps, centrifuges, muffle furnaces and ovens, autoclaves, incubators, climate chambers, fume hoods, laminar flow cabinets, balances, pH/conductivity/turbidity meters, spectrophotometers, refractometers, polarimeters, flame photometers, Kjeldahl systems, jar test apparatus, and water purification systems (distillers, deionizers, reverse osmosis) — alongside custom engineered equipment built to specific norms (e.g., NR-12).

The business operates four revenue streams: (1) one-time hardware sales via website quote requests, regional representatives, and authorized resellers; (2) INMETRO-accredited calibration services for temperature, mass, pressure, and physicochemical parameters with RBC-traceable thermal qualification; (3) IQ/OQ/PQ equipment qualification and resin regeneration services; and (4) bespoke engineering projects for customers with non-standard technical requirements. Distribution is domestic-only, with a network of authorized technical service centers covering all Brazilian states and direct commercial representation in regions including Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba, and Minas Gerais.

Quimis holds ISO 9001 certification (since 2000), INMETRO calibration accreditation (since 2013), and RBC traceability for thermal qualification. It serves 12 industry verticals — Food, Environmental, Bacteriological, Quality Control, Cosmetics, Educational, Pharmaceutical, Hospital, Industrial, Mining, Research, and Chemical — with primary focus on pharmaceutical, food, environmental, hospital, and research laboratories. The company is bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and no subsidiaries.
