Panama - PANAMA

The PROYTEC PANAMA brand was created with the establishment of the Company in Panama by a group of Professionals and Technicians — hence the name PROYTEC (“Profesionales y Técnicos” in Spanish) — founded by 3 of the 7 partners of an organization already active since 2006 under the name PROYTEC ASOCIADOS.

From the very beginning, the goal has been to offer strategic solutions to companies and entrepreneurs at an international level, supporting them in the study, design, and implementation of growth, restructuring, internationalization, and relocation projects, integrating investments, financial engineering, structured finance, and a full range of specialized services.

Over the years, the Group has strengthened its presence by opening operational bases in Peru, the United States, and the United Kingdom, supported by steady growth built on quality, transparency, and ethics — values that have earned the trust of an increasing number of clients and partners.

In 2023, the Panamanian parent company obtained the “Certification of Quality in Business” issued by the International Trade Council, a recognition that attests to the excellence of its services.

In 2025, it obtained the LEI (Legal Entity Identifier) from Bloomberg and officially obtained membership as a Business Support Organization at the International Trade Centre (ITC), a joint subsidiary organ of the United Nations (UN) — through the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) — and the World Trade Organization (WTO).

In 2026, it was accredited by the United Nations Global Compact, becoming an official supplier to the United Nations, the World Bank, and the Inter-American Development Bank.

Today, in addition to providing strategic consulting, innovation pathways, and advanced financial solutions, the Group also supports social initiatives through the Rockeroth Charity Fund, allocating part of its profits to educational, healthcare, and sustainable development projects for children in vulnerable conditions.

The mission of the Group is simple yet ambitious: to create, support, invest in, and facilitate the financing of projects capable of generating growth and positive impact — for its clients and for the community.
