Physics, chemistry, biology & technical lab equipment for secondary schools, SEED schools, TVET institutes and universities across Uganda — manufactured in Ambala, shipped via Mombasa to Kampala. UNBS-ready, factory prices, no middleman.
Atico Scientific is a direct laboratory equipment manufacturer, supplier and exporter to Uganda. We've built science and technical lab equipment in Ambala, India for over 70 years, and today a steady share ships to Ugandan secondary schools, SEED schools, TVET institutes and universities — by sea to Mombasa and on to Kampala, at factory prices with no middleman.
Uganda rolled out the competency-based Lower Secondary Curriculum through the NCDC, with UNEB assessing it at UCE and UACE. The shift to hands-on, learner-centred science means schools need real apparatus for every learner.
Government is also equipping SEED secondary schools nationwide with science kits and chemical reagents under the World-Bank-funded UgIFT programme — a steady, funded source of demand.

A large part of Uganda's lab equipment moves through Ministry programmes and the World-Bank-funded UgIFT / SEED schools roll-out, all under the Public Procurement & Disposal of Assets Act (PPDA). As a direct manufacturer we map specs to your BOQ, give OEM factory pricing, and handle conformity and transit documentation.
