CIMAC

What CIMAC does

CIMAC is a Brazilian medical-surgical product importer and distributor founded in June 2022 and headquartered in Rio de Janeiro. The company operates as the exclusive Brazilian distributor for three international manufacturers: Applied Medical, Reach Surgical, and Sul Medical. Its portfolio of 13 active SKUs spans laparoscopic instruments (disposable scissors, ultrasonic energy forceps), surgical staplers (linear, circular, and endoscopic), wound protection devices (Alexis system), surgical access platforms (Gel Point), and urology products (ureteral access sheaths, midurethral slings). The products serve surgical specialties including general surgery, gynecology, urology, thoracic surgery, head and neck surgery, coloproctology, and oncological surgery.

CIMAC addresses the importation, sale, and distribution of medical-surgical products to hospitals and surgical centers across Brazil through a direct B2B enterprise field sales model. The company makes money through one-time purchase transactions on the imported products it distributes, with pricing negotiated on a quote basis rather than through published price lists. The company operates with a 34-person team and runs a formal Compliance Program with a standing Compliance Committee overseeing commercial conduct. Marketing is limited to top-of-funnel digital presence through its website, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram profiles.

The business model is a relatively asset-light distribution intermediary: CIMAC captures margin on the spread between the price it pays manufacturers and the price it charges Brazilian healthcare facilities. CIMAC's economic exposure is concentrated in the terms and continuity of its three manufacturer partnerships, in regulatory import and device-registration processes administered by ANVISA, and in the procurement dynamics of Brazilian hospital and surgical center buyers. CIMAC is privately held with no disclosed external investors, funding rounds, or cap table information.
