Eckert & Ziegler Brasil

What Eckert & Ziegler Brasil does

Eckert & Ziegler Brasil is a São Paulo-based subsidiary of German TecDAX-listed Eckert & Ziegler SE, established in 2014 through the acquisition of REM's Nuclear Division. The company supplies radioactive isotope technology, radiopharmaceuticals, and radiological protection services to medical, industrial, and research customers across Brazil. Its medical portfolio spans nuclear medicine (calibration sources, phantoms, dose calibrators, the D-SPECT Cardio CZT camera, and Technegas ventilation systems), radiopharmaceutical kits (EZ-TEC99m generator, MAA, NANO-TEC, NEURO-TEC, RENO-TEC), and radiotherapy products (I-125 seeds, Ru-106 ophthalmic plaques). On the industrial side, it provides calibration and analytical sources, oil well logging sources, and high-activity Cs-137/Co-60 sources, alongside the Ambientis Radioproteção division offering ISO 17025-accredited radiometric analysis, decommissioning, and CNEN-credited radiation protection supervision across 6 certification areas.

The business operates a B2B enterprise sales model with direct commercial engagement, quote-based pricing, and a specialized ADR-compliant fleet for transporting radioactive materials. Revenue is generated through hardware sales (radioactive sources, radiopharmaceutical kits, imaging equipment and accessories) and professional services (radiological protection supervision, transport logistics, radiometric laboratory analysis, and decommissioning). The company is the only globally homologated supplier recognized by all nuclear medicine equipment manufacturers, holds exclusive QC Phantom supply rights for GE Discovery IQ PET/CT systems, and is a named supplier to Philips Healthcare for PET spot markers. Parent-group backing provides global production scale, a TecDAX-listed financial profile, and ongoing R&D pipeline support, including the proprietary CZT detector platform used in cardiac SPECT imaging.

The regulatory environment is the central operating factor: ANVISA reclassification in April 2025 moved key QC sources from Risk Class 3 to Class 2, eliminating GMP certification requirements and reducing the registration process to a simpler notification pathway, which directly expands the addressable market and lowers operating costs. The customer base is diversified across healthcare providers (nuclear medicine facilities, radiotherapy centers, blood banks), industrial end-markets (oil & gas, mining, petrochemical, pulp and paper, food processing), and research institutions, with no publicly disclosed revenue figures or named end-customer logos. The firm employs 46 people across its headquarters in São Paulo and a secondary Ambientis office in Barueri.

• Siemens Healthineers: Major medical imaging OEM providing SPECT and PET scanners alongside broader diagnostic and therapeutic portfolios. Competes broadly with Eckert & Ziegler Brasil's imaging-adjacent offerings for nuclear medicine department budgets.
• GE HealthCare: Global medical imaging OEM and supplier of PET/CT, SPECT/CT scanners (including the Discovery IQ for which Eckert & Ziegler holds exclusive QC Phantom supply). Both a critical partner and adjacent competitor as GE increasingly bundles radiopharma consumables.

Direct peers

• NTP Radioisotopes (Necsa): South African state-owned radioisotope producer supplying Mo-99, I-131, and other medical/industrial isotopes globally. Direct competitor in the emerging-market radioisotope supply chain that Eckert & Ziegler Brasil serves across medical and industrial customers.
• Eckert & Ziegler SE: German parent company and direct operator of the same isotope technology and radiopharmaceutical business globally. Provides the production network, regulatory expertise, and product portfolio that Eckert & Ziegler Brasil distributes in Latin America; the most directly comparable entity though operating at much larger scale.
• Curium Pharma: Global radiopharmaceutical manufacturer producing Mo-99/Tc-99m generators, cold kits, and nuclear medicine products. Directly competes with Eckert & Ziegler in radiopharma supply chains and is expanding into emerging markets including Latin America.
