Hightec Instrumentação Analítica LTDA

What Hightec Instrumentação Analítica LTDA does

Hightec Instrumentação Analítica LTDA is a Brazilian limited liability company founded in the late 1990s and headquartered in Cotia, in the São Paulo metropolitan area. The company distributes, rents, and services analytical laboratory instrumentation — primarily chromatography (HPLC, gas chromatography) and spectrophotometry systems — for industrial quality-control and research laboratories across Brazil.

The core product portfolio centers on Agilent-branded equipment, including HPLC systems (models 1100 and 1260), gas chromatographs (6890 and 7890), ICP-OES (5800), ICP-MS (7850), MP-AES (4210), and Headspace samplers (G4511A), supplemented by parts, consumables, and the "Turn Key" bundle covering method development, method validation, and team training. Revenue is generated through five distinct streams: one-time equipment sales, recurring rentals/subscriptions (12/24/36-month terms starting at R$ 2,000/month with support and insurance), parts and consumables, preventive and corrective maintenance services, and equipment transfer/installation.

Hightec sells and services enterprise customers across pharmaceuticals (Teuto, FURP), food and beverage (Heineken, Citrosuco), chemicals (BASF, Inapel, Coim, Buckman), and automotive (Ford, Citroën), operating with a small 19-person field-and-inside-sales team out of a single Cotia location, supported by WhatsApp, phone, and email channels. Its stated ambition is to become the Brazil-wide reference for analytical equipment service and rental.
