Insertec

What Insertec does

Insertec LTDA is a privately held Bolivian industrial solutions company headquartered in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, founded in 1978. It operates as a two-sided industrial services and distribution business: one side delivers full-cycle EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) projects, industrial automation (SCADA, PLC, DCS programming), instrumentation, calibration, and maintenance services; the other side distributes products from more than 80 international industrial brands across categories including safety (Drager, Honeywell, MSA), sealing (Teadit, John Crane), instrumentation (Krohne, Bently Nevada, Smar), rotating equipment (Ruhrpumpen), laboratory (Ametek, Sartorius), and data center (Odoo, ProxMox). Its customer base is primarily industrial enterprises in oil and gas, mining, energy, and manufacturing, with a secondary focus on data center operators.

The business model blends professional services revenue (EPC contracts, automation integration, and ongoing maintenance, typically quoted per project) with hardware sales revenue (industrial equipment distribution through direct sales and a regional e-commerce storefront). Pricing is predominantly quote-based and not publicly disclosed for most offerings, with a small set of consumable items visible on the e-commerce site. GTM is enterprise-led, combining direct field sales for complex projects, a helpdesk and ticketing system for service requests, and a distributor/reseller relationship with global brand principals. The company uses Odoo as its enterprise management platform and is currently expanding operations from Bolivia into Paraguay as a first step toward broader regional presence across the Americas.
