Vet-Agro

What Vet-Agro does

Vet-Agro (Przedsiębiorstwo Wielobranżowe VET-AGRO sp. z o.o.) is a Polish manufacturer of veterinary pharmaceuticals and animal care products founded in 1989 and headquartered in Lublin. The company operates an 8,000 m2 GMP-compliant production facility with five parallel, fully isolated technological lines producing sterile antibiotic suspensions (including aseptic beta-lactam/penicillin forms), sterile injection solutions (final-sterilized via a water cascade autoclave installed in 2015), non-sterile liquids and ointments, care products, and Ex-rated (spark-free) products for solvent handling. Quality control and R&D are performed in-house using Waters HPLC (Acquity HClass/Arc with PDA, ELSD, and electrochemical detectors), Agilent GC with headspace, Malvern Mastersizer 3000, and a TOC Anatel PAT 700 analyzer, all running ICH- and GMP-validated analytical methods including microbiological purity, sterility, bacterial endotoxin, and active-substance contamination profiling.

The portfolio comprises more than 70 veterinary medicinal products spanning antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, antiparasitics, hormonal drugs, anesthetics, gastrointestinal drugs, mineral supplements, and dermocosmetics, supported by 423 drug registrations. Major brands include FIPREX (fipronil spot-on/spray/DUO formulations for fleas, ticks, and lice on dogs, cats, and ferrets), DERMATISAN (chlorhexidine shampoo, anti-seborrhea, anti-dandruff with enilconazole, aurisil ear cleaners, and dermatology lotions), CHITOPAN (chitosan-based liquid wound care with mucoadhesive microfilm and antibacterial/anti-inflammatory/analgesic action), PROPICAL (dietetic fodder for milk-fever/ketosis prevention in dairy cows), ANIGRAN (sodium-hyaluronate wound gel), ALTA-DERM NF, BAL-DERM NF, and the newly launched Vet-Agro PETS sub-brand (March 2025) plus the Metaxx product line.

Go-to-market is a hybrid of direct sales to veterinary practices via a Commercial Department (led by Commercial Director Łukasz Odzijewicz) and an export-driven channel model, with a dedicated Export Department (Artur Manaj, Export Manager) and a global distribution network spanning more than 30 markets across Western, Southern, Northern, and Eastern Europe, plus Israel and Mexico — through named regional partners such as Virbac, Bimedia, Karizoo, Fendigo, Provet, Chemical Iberica, and Richter Pharma. Domestic logistics flow through the wholly-owned distribution subsidiary VET-AGRO TRADING Sp. z o.o. Brand and demand generation rely on professional channels including sponsored veterinary congresses (PSLWMZ, FECAVA EuroCongress 2024, Akademia po Dyplomie, Pediatria Weterynaryjna) and accredited CE webinars. The 51-100 employee organization is privately held, founder-managed, debt-free to public knowledge, with no venture capital or private equity investors disclosed.
