A recent history, an international presence

Since it was founded in 1982, Esaote has maintained its headquarters in Genoa. Over the last 40 years, the people who have become part of the Group's history have succeeded in realizing its strong vocation for internationalization.

Through a widespread presence that now involves 14 branches and distribution channels reaching about 100 countries around the world, Esaote achieves roughly 70% of its turnover in international markets. A global presence built by keeping faith with some of the pillars of the Made in Italy philosophy, a development model appreciated and sought after all over the world.

Esaote headquarters are currently located at Great Campus, the Genoa Science and Technology Park on the Erzelli hill, alongside the Ultrasound Research & Development and Medical IT laboratories. The recent Genoa Multedo plant is the focus of R&D and production of Magnetic Resonance Imaging systems, the repair center for all the devices – US and MRI – produced by the Group and the worldwide logistics center for spare parts.

Florence is home to the Center of Excellence for the production of ultrasound probes and the international logistics hub for the shipment of ultrasound systems all over the world. We also have production sites in Sittard, the Netherlands, and in Danyang in China's Jiangsu province, dedicated exclusively to production for the Chinese market, with the desire to cover more regions and increase proximity to end clients in terms of logistics.

While gradually developing a global presence, we maintain an Italian imprint, expressed in the decision to nurture increasingly interdisciplinary relationships, and to encourage collaborations and partnerships capable of enriching our perspective. Our products are the epitome of Italian design, which combines aesthetics and ergonomics in an original way. Within an organization with extensive expertise in technology, the corporate culture leverages humanistic thinking as a necessary ingredient for increasingly creative problem solving.

Alongside constant internal growth, acquisitions, joint ventures and partnerships resulted in Esaote reaching its current size, back in the 1990s.

Through subsidiaries, the Group now maintains a presence in the USA, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, China, India, Germany, the Netherlands, France, Spain, and has offices in the United Kingdom and Moscow. Its international distribution network means it now operates in 100 countries around the world.
