Chromservis s.r.o.

What Chromservis s.r.o. does

Chromservis s.r.o. is a privately-held Czech laboratory instruments and chromatography products company, founded in 1989 and reorganised into a trading company in 1990. The firm operates through two divisions: Laboratory Applications (analytical instruments, chromatography accessories, and consumables) and Measurement & Regulation (gas detection, process sensors, and physical property measurement). It serves laboratory, industrial, and research customers across 35+ countries, providing equipment for HPLC, GC, SPE, mass spectrometry, water analysis, sample preparation, and occupational gas safety.

The company operates a hybrid model: it is both a value-added distributor for international manufacturers including Bruker, YMC, Restek, Hamilton, Teledyne, Crowcon, Knick, KNAUER, Advion Interchim, OHAUS, Shodex, Chiron, and Cambridge Isotope Laboratories, and — since 2020 — a manufacturer of proprietary HPLC column brands (ARION, ASTRA, CHROMSHELL), sample preparation products (SPEEXTRA MSPE columns, MetAmino Kit), sensors (CHS pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen), and COD photometers. In-house production is supported by academic co-development partnerships with Charles University in Prague (including FaF in Hradec Králové) and the Institute of Chemical Technology Prague for new stationary phase research.

Revenue is generated predominantly through one-time instrument and consumable sales, supplemented by recurring service revenue (gas distribution for analytical instruments, calibration, repair, training, and custom application development). Go-to-market combines direct sales branches in the Czech Republic (Prague, Ostrava), a wholly-owned Slovak subsidiary (Chromservis SK s.r.o. in Bratislava), Bulgarian sales offices (Russe, Sofia), a B2B e-commerce platform, and a global distributor network spanning 35+ countries across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and South America. The company holds ISO 9001 certification and received the AAA Highest Creditworthiness Award from Dun & Bradstreet in 2022.
