Physics, chemistry, biology & technical lab equipment for secondary schools, TEVETA colleges, universities and CDF projects across Zambia — manufactured in Ambala, shipped via Dar es Salaam or Durban. ZABS-ready, factory prices, no middleman.
Atico Scientific is a direct laboratory equipment manufacturer, supplier and exporter to Zambia. We've built science and technical lab equipment in Ambala, India for over 70 years, and today a steady share ships to Zambian secondary schools, TEVETA colleges, universities and Constituency Development Fund projects — via Dar es Salaam or Durban, at factory prices with no middleman.
Zambia's curriculum, written by the Curriculum Development Centre (CDC), runs academic and skills pathways, and the Examinations Council of Zambia (ECZ) assesses science at Grade 9 and Grade 12 — including practical and school-based assessment.
Both pathways need working labs and workshops, so demand isn't limited to academic schools; skills centres need equipment too. We help Zambian schools and colleges equip to the curriculum.
The Constituency Development Fund now pays for school equipment across constituencies — a widespread, recurring source of lab-equipment demand nationwide.

Getting equipment to Zambia cleanly matters as much as the equipment itself. Here's what we handle or prepare for.

A large part of Zambia's lab equipment moves through Ministry programmes, Constituency Development Fund procurement and TEVETA skills projects, all under Zambia Public Procurement Authority (ZPPA) rules. As a direct manufacturer we map specs to your BOQ, give OEM factory pricing, and handle conformity and transit documentation.
