Laboratório Randon

What Laboratório Randon does

Laboratório Randon (trading as Labran) is a privately held Brazilian laboratory services company founded in 1974 by Chemical Engineer Antonio Randon and Oenology Technician Nelson Rotta Randon, headquartered at Rua Ênio da Silva Marques 102, Floresta, Caxias do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul. The firm provides technical analytical and advisory services to the wine and beverage industry, with a core testing portfolio organized into three service lines: physical-chemical analyses (acidity, sugars, pH, alcohol, sulfites, polyphenols, tannins, color, filtration, and related parameters); microbiological analyses (bacterial counts, molds, yeasts, acetic and lactic bacteria, Brettanomyces, Salmonella, E. coli, coliforms); and chromatographic analyses (ochratoxin A, patulin, metals, isotopes, benzoic and sorbic acids, florizin). These core testing services are extended by an advisory offering covering MAPA registration, product development, installation and sizing engineering for beverage facilities, labeling examination, legislation assistance, production process diagnostics, microvinifications, volumetric packaging verification, and technical lectures.

The business model is a B2B professional services operation delivered from a single physical facility, with revenue generated per analysis or per service package under individually quoted terms. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct: clients engage the laboratory via website contact form, phone, or email, samples are submitted to the Caxias do Sul site, and results are returned through a qualified client portal (labran.qualitalis.com.br) for existing accounts. The company serves more than 60 enterprise clients across the Brazilian wine, sparkling wine, juice, vinegar, beer, distilled beverage, soft drink, tea, and cider sectors on a national basis, with vertical concentration in wine as the original and primary segment. Ownership remains with the founding Randon family, and the company has no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, M&A activity, patents, or public-market presence.
