Impexpharm

What Impexpharm does

Impexpharm is a pharmaceutical laboratory founded on June 12, 2020, in Quito, Ecuador, that specializes in functional health products, primarily nutritional supplements. Its portfolio spans three brands and four product presentations: KrillOmex (krill oil, positioned as the first pure 1g krill oil capsule in Ecuador), Impex-D (Vitamin D3), and MioK2 (Vitamin K2+D3 in capsules and drops). The company claims first-mover positioning in the Ecuadorian market, including operating the first Spanish-language krill blog.

The company operates a hybrid B2B2C distribution model. Revenue is generated through wholesale placement with Ecuador's three largest pharmacy chain groups — Grupo GPF, Grupo Difare, and Farmaenlace — supplemented by clinical prescription through 10+ clinics and direct-to-consumer e-commerce via Miovid.com and KrillOmex.com, the latter having processed over 1,000 transactions. Impexpharm sources proprietary-grade ingredients through exclusive supplier partnerships with Aker Biomarine (a Norwegian krill oil producer), Kappa Bio, Tiaraju, James Brown Pharma, and Qualipharm.

With a team of approximately 10 employees and a multi-year track record of portfolio expansion, Impexpharm is in early-stage growth mode. The company has stated plans to expand into the broader Latin American market via the Andean Community trade bloc, targeting Colombia, Peru, and Bolivia as its next geographies.
