Quick Answer
Yes, Biomat USA and Grifols are the same company. Biomat USA is Grifols' consumer-facing plasma collection brand. Whether you see "Biomat" or "Grifols" on a plasma center, you're donating at a Grifols-owned facility with the same pay rates, policies, and procedures.
Biomat USA IS Grifols — Here's Why Two Names
Grifols is a Spanish multinational pharmaceutical company and one of the world's largest producers of plasma-derived medicines. Biomat USA is their American plasma collection subsidiary. Think of it like how "Frito-Lay" is PepsiCo's snack brand — Biomat is Grifols' collection brand.
The Company Structure
- Grifols S.A. — Parent company (Barcelona, Spain), publicly traded
- Biomat USA — U.S. plasma collection centers (consumer-facing brand)
- Grifols Biologicals — Manufacturing/pharmaceutical division
Why You See Both Names
Grifols has been transitioning branding across their U.S. centers. Some older locations still display "Biomat USA" signage while newer or renovated centers use "Grifols." The transition has been gradual:
- Older centers: May still say "Biomat USA" on the building
- Newer centers: Branded as "Grifols Plasma"
- Online listings: May appear under either name on Google Maps
- Same experience: Pay rates, policies, and procedures are identical regardless of which name is on the door
