Midea Group Completes Acquisition of Medical Imaging Leader Esaote
Chinese technology giant Midea Group has finalized the acquisition of a majority stake in Esaote S.p.A., an Italian leader in medical imaging diagnostics. Under the new structure, Esaote will join the Midea Healthcare Division while maintaining its status as an independent global medical equipment company headquartered in Genoa, Italy. The strategic move aims to combine Midea's extensive manufacturing and international distribution network with Esaote's premium expertise in ultrasound, open MRI systems, and healthcare software. This synergy is expected to accelerate R&D cycles and expand the combined entity's footprint across digital radiography, CT, and high-field MRI markets. Esaote will continue its operations with existing R&D and manufacturing facilities in Italy and the Netherlands. Franco Fontana will remain as CEO of Esaote, ensuring leadership continuity during this integration phase.
