ABOUT US

Spin is a family owned, professionally managed company located in Bogotá, Colombia.

 

We were established in 2009, so we are beginning a journey to build a company that can compete with the best in our chosen markets and that provides an attractive return to our shareholders.

 

Spin's initial goal was to identify high-value-added, scientifically-backed, innovative product lines from top-quality multinationals to lay the foundation for the company's long-term success.

 

We believe that being selective only in certain areas gives us unmatched knowledge and allows us to offer superior products and services, to optimally meet the needs of our customers.

 

We are a value-added distributor, focused on continuous growth in existing and new markets, working hard to become a solid brand that represents competence and reliability. We want to establish a sustained position of leadership in the areas of animal production and food chain, to continue adding value to our brand, and to the products that we proudly represent. We continually work to improve our financial performance, setting high growth targets, and focusing on profitable relationships with our clients. If required, we entrust our products to established distribution networks, which support our philosophy of comprehensive product and market management.

In each of our alliances, we strive to build lasting, mutually beneficial relationships that can provide positive results and prosperity for both parties, promoting open communication, mutual trust, and remaining committed to the expected results.

We work synergistically with the logistics, sales, marketing and technical divisions of our suppliers to jointly define sales and marketing plans and activities, technical training and support, and registration activities.
