What cymedica cz, a.s. does

Cymedica CZ, a.s. is a privately held Czech veterinary pharmaceutical and diagnostics distribution and manufacturing company founded in 1995 and headquartered in Hořovice, Czech Republic. The company produces, imports, sells, and distributes veterinary medicines, diagnostic instruments, therapeutic diets, and animal health products through wholly owned subsidiaries in Slovakia (Zvolen, since 1998), Ukraine (Kyiv, since 2000), Bulgaria (Sofia, since 2019), and Romania (via the 2026 acquisition of Veteco Interservices), with active distribution reach into Croatia, Slovenia, and Serbia. Cymedica operates both in-house and contract manufacturing under its own marketing authorisations across multiple regions, complemented by exclusive regional distribution agreements with global veterinary manufacturers including Zoetis, MSD Animal Health, Dechra, Virbac, Dopharma, Bimeda, IDEXX, Antech Diagnostics, Ceva Santé Animale, Elanco, KRKA, HUVEPHARMA, and HIPRA.

The company runs a B2B go-to-market combining field sales representatives, inside sales via toll-free lines, a B2B e-commerce platform (eshop.cymedica.cz / eshop.cymedica.sk), and the Cymedica Plus loyalty program plus Partner Clinic Program that drive retention among enrolled veterinary clinics. Logistics are handled via an owned fleet of trained drivers and temperature-controlled vehicles under GDP-compliant conditions, enabling same-day delivery in the Prague region and next-day delivery across the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The company also operates the Herriot professional magazine (since 2003), Herriot podcast, in-person seminars, online webinars, and the Dechra Academy partnership, building a content-led community platform for veterinary professionals.

Revenue is generated across four streams: (1) distribution of third-party veterinary pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, and animal health products at catalogue pricing with volume-based loyalty discounts; (2) own manufacturing of veterinary preparations sold under Cymedica's marketing authorisations; (3) educational services (seminars, webinars, expert consultations) charged per registration; and (4) the Cymedica Plus loyalty program, where points (1 point = 1 CZK or ~0.038 EUR in Slovakia) can be redeemed for products, services, workshops, diagnostics equipment, or invoice discounts. Pricing is not disclosed publicly and requires an active customer account; the loyalty program imposes a minimum annual turnover threshold of 25,000 CZK (or ~1,000 EUR in Slovakia) to qualify for point accumulation. The company holds GDP, GMP+, and ISO safety certifications, and is GDPR-compliant.
