Galchimia, chemical specialized custom compounds

Drafting QU01/06/2004

Galchimia was born four years ago as a spin-off of the University of Santiago de Compostela specializes in the manufacture of highly specialized chemical products and chemical and pharmaceutical industries custom.

Galchimia, company created at the University of Santiago, is a business project dedicated to the preparation of highly specialized chemical products and custom, created at the initiative of two doctors and two teachers in the middle of the year 2000 the Department of organic chemistry of the University of Santiago de Compostela.taking advantage of the experience and contacts acquired in his professional career.

The promoters developed a pilot project within the Department of chemistry, demonstrating its viability and business potential.

The Uninova counseling and the support of the CITT from the University of Santiago de Compostela were decisive to bring to fruition the initial idea. Professional experience prompted developers to develop new methods of production of various products with high commercial demand.

Participation in international fairs of the sector of the chemical industry confirmed the expectations for the project. Contacts made by the promoters speak for themselves the vast international projection, since that made abundant business contacts with clients in Europe and America.

During this period, the business project was also supported by the administration through its acceptance launches programs, promoted by Igape to train and advise entrepreneurs and technology (IEBTs)-based business initiatives, promoted by the Department of family.

Research and development

Research in the field of chemistry, Pharmacology and biotechnology requires a large number of non-existent chemical products on the market. Only the development of a new drug preparation of thousands of new chemical compounds, which should be tested thoroughly, task, among others, of Galchimia.

The company has specialized, therefore in the production and marketing of chemical compounds "made to measure" (custom synthesis), high value-added chemicals that require a specific r & d.

Its headquarters is located near Santiago de Compostela (Northwest of Spain), in a region whose location allows you to easily access both to the European market as American without the high costs of other more industrialised areas.

Galchimia offers its customers the best professionals to meet their orders of chemicals and their r & d needs, while maintaining an open dialogue with them at all times. In this sense, the company is committed to providing these services at affordable prices, offering the best quality and ensuring full confidentiality.

Its relations with the University of Santiago de Compostela allow them, in addition, offer the best facilities for research and analysis.

A la carte products

To have specialized in producing the compound that each client needs following their instructions, in Galchimia, they are able to reproduce and scalar published procedures to achieve the necessary amount or develop a new method for the synthesis of its molecule target.

Currently, they are engaged in programmes of r & d of pharmaceutical companies, helping them to achieve success, developing new methods, new chemistry and new structures each day.

The range of reactions that the company can do in their laboratories, on a scale that goes from the milligrams to the kilogram, includes the following: Wittig reaction and Horner-Emmons, acilaciones and Friedel-Crafts alkylations, reactions of iodization and bromaciónchemical organolíticos, links Organometallic, reduction, oxidation, esterificaciones, condensation, hydrolysis, etc.
