Ipiranga Gains a Competitive Edge with the Implementation of myLIMS
myLIMS has provided the laboratory enhanced data integrity, traceability and information security.
Ipiranga stands as Brazil’s leading privately-owned distributor of fuels and lubricants—a position built on more than 70 years of innovation and ambition. From humble beginnings as a small southern refinery, Ipiranga rapidly expanded its reach nationwide. The company’s bold acquisition of the American multinational Atlantic in the 1990s instantly doubled its size, cementing its status as an industry giant and marking a turning point in its dynamic journey.
In 2007, following its acquisition by the Ultra Group, Ipiranga’s operations briefly focused on Brazil’s South and Southeast. Undeterred, the company set its sights on new horizons—soon acquiring Texaco’s Brazilian operations and reclaiming its place among Brazil’s largest and most influential companies. Driven by a legacy of resilience and growth, Ipiranga continues to fuel progress across the country.
Their Challenge
Despite being equipped with modern equipment; the fuel and lubricant laboratory lacked a computerized system to manage its analyses and results.
To ensure full traceability, streamline laboratory processes, and automatically generate management and analysis reports, as well as key performance indicators, the need for specialized laboratory software became clear.
