Since its beginnings in 1976, INVAP has grown from a small office to a surface area of over 10,000 square meters of laboratories, workshops and office space.

The head office of INVAP is located in Bariloche, in the foothills of the Andes, about 1700 km southwest of Buenos Aires. Bariloche is also an internationally well known tourist resort.

The staff of INVAP comprises about 610, a figure that locally reaches close to 700 when a number of associated firms, contractors and suppliers are added.

This includes:

• A body of professionals highly skilled in the handling of complex systems.
• An advanced Quality Management System.
• Advanced technical and administrative projects control systems
• A quarter of a century of experience in the management of innovation.

Mostly thanks to INVAP, who has made an important and successful effort in the aperture of new markets, Argentina is now known worldwide as a reliable supplier of nuclear facilities, as well as of cobalt therapy and industrial automation equipment.

INVAP is the only company in Argentina qualified by NASA (the US Aeronautics and Space Administration) for complete space projects. In this field, INVAP has shown its proficiency as constructor of satellites, payloads and ground stations.
