JEMO TRADING

What JEMO TRADING does

JEMO TRADING spol. s r.o., operating under the Profood brand, is a Bratislava-headquartered B2B distributor that imports and sells food ingredients and diagnostic test systems to customers in Slovakia and the Czech Republic. The company was established in 2004 and operates across three divisions: Food & Feed Analysis, Clinical Diagnostics, and Food Industry Raw Materials. Its portfolio spans ELISA kits (RIDASCREEN), lateral flow rapid tests (RIDA QUICK, Bioavid), real-time PCR systems (SureFast, RIDA GENE, MutaPLEX), immunochromatographic microarray platforms (SeraSpot Microspot Array), enzymatic test kits (Enzytec Liquid, run on RIDA CUBE SCAN), hygiene-monitoring ATP devices (Lumitester SMART with LuciPac A3 swabs), and complementary instruments such as RIDA ABSORBANCE 96 ELISA readers, SpotSight scanners, and the RIDA CYCLER compact PCR thermocycler. The clinical diagnostics line also covers specialty assays including the RIDA CHIP FoodGuide IgG microarray (up to 200 foods), ApoE genotyping, MutaPLEX RespiraScreen 4 DIFF, IDK Zonulin ELISA, and FD-THDC/THAK histamine intolerance ELISA.

The company monetizes primarily through one-time product sales of kits, instruments, and consumables, bundled with expert technical consultation for product selection and solution design. It operates as the exclusive distributor for R-Biopharm AG, R-Biopharm Rhône, ZEU, EuroProxima, and Test Veritas in Slovakia and the Czech Republic, and has built a broader clinical diagnostics supplier network including Immundiagnostik AG, Calpro AS, Biosynex, Operon, FROST Diagnostika, Cypress Diagnostics, Vitassay, ZYAGNUM AG, and GEN-IAL. Customer segments are split between food and feed producers (farmers, growers, manufacturers, importers), clinical and hospital laboratories, accredited research and control laboratories, and food producers purchasing raw materials such as Pimaricin (natamycin) preservative. Go-to-market is direct B2B sales supported by annual customer seminars, scientific conference participation, professional publications, and an active technical blog covering regulatory updates and new product launches.

The business operates exclusively within Slovakia and Czech Republic, with no disclosed expansion into additional markets, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed funding rounds. The company employs 11–50 staff, generates no publicly disclosed revenue, and is privately held with no known institutional investors. Regulatory positioning is anchored in EU IVDR compliance across the diagnostic portfolio, with R-Biopharm's transition to electronic product documentation (E-Documents, launched January 2023) extending paper-free operations throughout the distribution channel.

Broad incumbents

• Neogen Corporation: Global food safety company offering diagnostic test kits (ELISA, lateral flow, mycotoxin testing), sanitation diagnostics and genomic services. Overlaps directly with JEMO's RIDASCREEN mycotoxin, allergen and microbiology portfolio across food and feed testing.
• R-Biopharm AG: German manufacturer of ELISA, lateral flow, PCR and microarray diagnostic kits for food analysis and clinical diagnostics. R-Biopharm is JEMO's principal supplier and product originator for RIDASCREEN, RIDA QUICK, SureFast, RIDA GENE, and SeraSpot, making it the most directly comparable upstream partner in the same product categories.
• Eurofins Scientific: Global food testing services and diagnostic products group operating accredited laboratories across Europe. While primarily a service provider, Eurofins' in-house kits and reference materials overlap with the product categories JEMO distributes, and its labs are a downstream customer of similar regulatory-driven testing volumes.
• Bio-Rad Laboratories: Global life science and clinical diagnostics company with a significant food safety and clinical diagnostics testing portfolio (ELISA, PCR, microbiology). Competes with JEMO's represented brands in the same end-customer laboratories across food and clinical segments.

Direct peers

• Romer Labs: Specialist in mycotoxin, allergen and food safety diagnostic test kits and reference materials, headquartered in Austria. Sells through distributors into Central European food and feed laboratories and is a competing brand to JEMO's R-Biopharm mycotoxin lines.
• Immundiagnostik AG: German specialty diagnostics manufacturer for gastroenterology, food sensitivity (zonulin, calprotectin) and clinical ELISA products. Listed as a major JEMO supply partner and a competing supplier in the same clinical diagnostic categories to similar hospital and reference laboratory customers.
• Calpro AS: Norwegian specialty manufacturer of calprotectin ELISA and rapid tests for inflammatory bowel disease. Listed as a JEMO supply partner and operates as a comparable niche diagnostics originator distributing through regional partners in the same clinical laboratory segment.
• Hygiena (formerly BioControl Systems / part of ATS LifeSciences): Manufacturer of ATP hygiene monitoring systems and food safety diagnostic tests including luminometers comparable to JEMO's Lumitester SMART line, plus pathogen detection kits. Sells into the same food producer and laboratory customers via regional distributors.
• Operon (ImmunoMol): Spanish molecular diagnostics manufacturer producing multiplex PCR panels for respiratory pathogens, STIs and other infectious diseases, comparable to JEMO's MutaPLEX RespiraScreen 4 DIFF and Vitassay tick-borne disease panels supplied into the same hospital laboratory channel.

Emerging players

• DLD Diagnostika: German developer and manufacturer of ELISA and RIA test systems for clinical endocrinology and food-related diagnostics, including histamine and food intolerance panels comparable to JEMO's FD-THDC/THAK ELISA and IDK Zonulin products.
