Pramol

What Pramol does

Pramol Química is a privately held Argentine industrial-chemicals company founded in 2000 and operating nationwide with a workforce of 11–50 employees. Its commercial headquarters are in Wilde, Avellaneda (Buenos Aires Province), supported by a manufacturing plant in Trujui, Moreno. The business manufactures, imports, and commercializes chemical products and industrial inputs for B2B customers, and explicitly states a multi-decade track record and a stated ambition of year-over-year growth in scale and in the number of business units served.\n\nThe product portfolio is a catalog of more than 90 commodity and specialty chemicals organized across multiple families: organic and inorganic acids (acetic, citric, boric, formic, phosphoric, nitric, oxalic, sulfuric, among others); alcohols and solvents (ethyl, isopropyl, glycol ethers); chlorides and chlorinated compounds (sodium, calcium, potassium, ferric and benzalkonium chlorides, hypochlorite, chlorine tablets); amines (mono-, di-, triethanolamine); glycols and glycerin (USP and technical grades); sulfates (aluminum, ammonium, copper, magnesium, sodium, zinc); nitrates; hydroxides (sodium and potassium hydroxide in liquid and solid forms); and specialty inputs such as phosphonates (ATMP, HEDP), lignosulfonates, peracetic acid, and glycols. On top of this catalog, Pramol offers custom formulation services (formulaciones a pedido) tailored to specific client requirements and industrial specifications.\n\nThe go-to-market is sales-led B2B: pricing is quote-based with no public price list, products are quoted per kilogram or liter, and orders are placed through a website-based quotation request workflow, supplemented by phone and WhatsApp contact, with a customer portal (área de clientes) for account management of existing clients. The customer base is segmented vertically across 14 industrial units — agrochemicals, textile, leather, institutional hygiene, sugar mills, industrial cleaning, metal treatment and galvanoplasty, water and effluent treatment, oil and gas, paints and resins, cosmetics, adhesives, veterinary laboratories, and other applications — with agrochemicals and textiles identified as the primary verticals. Revenue is generated transactionally through product sales plus ad-hoc custom formulation work, with distribution handled directly across Argentina via delivery and depot pickup.
