Chemical supply in Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires
Argentina's locally owned pharmaceutical laboratories make much of the medicine sold in the country, and many of them sit in Buenos Aires and its province. Further up the Paraná, the Campana and Zárate corridor hosts refining and petrochemical plants, while farming drives demand for agrochemicals, veterinary products and oilseed-processing chemicals. Zemixal supplies APIs, intermediates, specialty chemicals, reagents and solvents from Ahmedabad. Containers leave Nhava Sheva or Mundra and reach Buenos Aires after transhipment, and urgent packs fly from Mumbai or Ahmedabad into Ezeiza. Every lot has a certificate of analysis and a 16-section GHS SDS, which supports ANMAT import files for active ingredients.
