Dispolab

What Dispolab does

DISPOLAB, Žilina s.r.o. ("Dispolab") is a privately held Slovak distributor of single-use medical materials founded in 1995 and headquartered at Gabajova 11, Žilina. The company imports and resells disposable medical supplies — including the VACUTEST closed blood collection system (gel, clot activator, K3EDTA, heparin, and citrate tubes with needles and holders), clinical microbiology collection systems (UTM, ESwab liquid-Amies flocked swabs, Amies transport media), Petri dishes, pipette tips, microscope slides, syringes and needles, medical gloves, protective equipment, sharps waste containers, infusion/transfusion sets, and urinalysis consumables — to hospitals, clinics, and medical laboratories throughout Slovakia. Pricing is per-unit (€0.01 to €2,804.40 inclusive of VAT) with bulk packaging in 100- or 1,000-unit SKUs. Quality certification under STN EN ISO 9001:2009 (TUV SUD Slovakia) and a NATUR-PACK packaging-waste recycling certificate provide the regulatory credentials typically required for Slovak healthcare procurement.

The company's go-to-market is anchored by a PrestaShop-based e-commerce storefront at dispolab.sk that handles direct online ordering, customer-account management, order tracking, and email newsletters for promotions. Distribution combines own-fleet local delivery in Žilina (€2.50 per order, free for large phone-arranged orders), DPD courier service nationwide (€7.43 standard, with cash-on-delivery option at €7.74), and direct phone sales. The GTM motion is best characterized as self-serve B2B e-commerce hybridized with phone-assisted sales to mid-market and enterprise healthcare buyers. The technology stack — PrestaShop plus standard courier integrations — is conventional; no proprietary software, AI/ML systems, or APIs are disclosed.

Revenue mechanics are pure one-time unit sales of consumables with no SaaS, subscription, or service layer. There are no disclosed partnerships, parent companies, subsidiaries, funding rounds, named customer accounts, or institutional investors; ownership appears founder-led in an s.r.o. (limited liability) structure. Headcount is reported at 1–10 employees, and no revenue figures are publicly disclosed. Operations have been continuous since 1995, with a 2005 relocation from rented premises to the current owned facility.
