Our history
Our story began in the year 2000, when two students – Carme Pampín and Jacobo Cruces – were about to obtain their doctorate in the Department of Organic Chemistry at the University of Santiago de Compostela. They were quite absorbed by their research, but two professors, Gabriel Tojo and Ramón Estévez, attracted their attention with a striking idea… With the help of Unirisco, a Galician venture capital association, they teamed up and created the project of GalChimia in 2001.
The identity of the company is rooted in our beginnings, being the result of the life experiences of founders Carme Pampín (CEO) and Jacobo Cruces (CSO).
Carme Pampín
Co-founder and CEO
Our philosophy responds to the university environment where the idea of GalChimia was conceived. The scientific motivation of this endeavor was intertwined with the will to innovate and offer new approaches to fulfill the needs of clients. However, Innovation could not be our sole focus and, from the very beginning, we recognized the importance of establishing a relationship of trust with our clients. In this sense, we work continuously to integrate in our daily activities the other values that we consider essential: Communication, Transparency, Commitment and, of course, Customer Orientation.
