What Trytech does

Trytech SRL (Grupo Trytech) is an Argentine specialty chemicals manufacturer founded in 1995 in Llavallol, Buenos Aires, that formulates, produces, and commercializes chemical auxiliaries, abrasives, coatings, and specialty lubricants for industrial customers. The company operates six branded product lines: Genox (stainless steel care — pickling, passivation, abrasives, electrochemical systems), Convertech (cold galvanizing coatings applied on-site without dismantling structures), SK 316 (AISI 316 powder-based coatings delivering stainless steel appearance and corrosion resistance to any surface), 390 (welding auxiliaries — anti-adherents, non-destructive testing, protective coatings), MRO (water-soluble degreasers, solvents, surface treatments, hand cleaners), and Lubricantes (synthetic/semi-synthetic oils, greases, and pastes for extreme conditions). The portfolio addresses the full lifecycle of industrial metal surfaces — pre-treatment, welding, corrosion protection, lubrication, and maintenance.

The business model is B2B, selling proprietary formulations directly to enterprise industrial customers and through an extensive distributor network covering all of Argentina plus continental exports across the Americas, with a Miami-based international distribution partner (Aghub) handling shipments from the United States. Trytech employs 11-50 people and reports 30 years of industry presence, with primary customer concentration in meat processing and cold storage (Marfrig, COTO, Paladini, Swift Armour, Granja Tres Arroyos, and other major regional processors), supplemented by food, welding, and oil and gas applications. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company holds no institutional funding, has no parent organization, and is privately held. Documented product performance claims include 1,500 hours of salt spray protection for the SK 316 + Convertech Z system and CIDEPINT food compatibility certification for SK 316 Sanitario.
