Genomma Lab

About Genomma Lab

Genomma Lab Internacional is a publicly traded Mexican pharmaceutical and personal care products company with a significant presence across Latin America and in the United States. Founded in 1996 by Rodrigo Alonso Herrera Aspra, the company initially started as a consumer marketing firm focused on television infomercials under the name Producciones Infovisión. By 1999, the founders transitioned the business to develop and market its own product lines, renaming it Genomma Lab and establishing a distribution network for over-the-counter (OTC) pharmaceuticals and personal care items.

The company's business model is centered on a consumer-oriented marketing strategy, new product development, and a broad retail distribution network. Genomma Lab outsources manufacturing to third parties, which provides a flexible, low-cost supply chain. It markets a wide portfolio of premium brands, many of which are leaders in their respective categories. The company has historically pursued aggressive growth through advertising, brand acquisitions, and international expansion. Key milestones include partnering with private equity firm Nexxus Capital in 2004 to help finance growth and institutionalize the company, followed by an IPO on the Mexican Stock Exchange (BMV: LAB) on June 18, 2008. The company has since expanded into 18 countries.

Genomma Lab serves the mass market, with a particular focus on the Hispanic market in the U.S. through major retailers like Wal-Mart and Walgreens. Revenue is generated from the sale of its diverse portfolio, which is split nearly evenly between OTC pharmaceuticals and personal care products. The company has also engaged in numerous brand acquisitions to bolster its portfolio, including Tafirol in Argentina and several brands in Mexico. Rodrigo Alonso Herrera Aspra remains the Chairman of the Board, while the company has professionalized its management team over the years.
