Alkofarma

What Alkofarma does

Alkofarma is a Peruvian pharmaceutical manufacturer founded in 2001 and headquartered in Lima, Peru. The company produces pharmaceutical, topical, dermal, and antiseptic products, along with galenic preparations and ultrasound gels. Its product range spans categories typically sold to pharmacies, hospitals, clinics, and healthcare distributors in domestic and potentially neighboring regional markets. The breadth of the portfolio — spanning galenic (compounded) formulations, antiseptics, and medical-grade ultrasound gels — suggests a specialty pharmaceutical or contract-manufacturing positioning rather than a single-product focus.

The company operates as a private, for-profit entity with a workforce of 11-50 employees according to firmographic records. Pricing is described as quote-based rather than publicly disclosed, consistent with B2B sales and tender-based procurement norms in the pharmaceutical manufacturing sector. The company's website (alkofarma.com) was not accessible during data collection, returning only a loading/verification page with no substantive company information, so no product catalog, leadership roster, or commercial footprint could be confirmed from that source.

The 24-year operating history (founded 2001) implies an established but small-scale manufacturer likely serving Peru's domestic market. No public revenue, funding, leadership, partnership, certification, or patent data is available for further triangulation, and no M&A, expansion, product launch, or restructuring activity is documented in the input. Source attribution for observed facts is limited to.
