From the past to the future
through innovation

“In the city of the renowned humanist and philosopher Pico della Mirandola, in the northern area of the Province of Modena, lies the Mirandola Biomedical District , European market leader in the production of disposable medical devices and components for dialysis. The district includes over 100 companies specialized in plastic disposables and electro-medical products, mainly Italian SMEs (85.6%) alongside several multinational companies (14.4%). Together, they employ around 5,000 people and generate a total turnover of nearly €1 billion, including related industries.

Sidam was founded in January 1991 in the heart of the Mirandola district by Graziano Azzolini, an industry expert who anticipated the needs of internationally renowned hospitals for innovative, reliable single-use medical devices. Over the years, the company has grown through strong organic development and through the acquisition and integration of businesses with highly specialized expertise. BTC Medical Europe, acquired in 2016 and fully integrated in 2022, was focusing on the production of devices for oncology departments and medical devices for pharmaceutical companies. In 2021, Emotec has been acquired by Sidam. Founded in Mirandola in 1983 by Francesco Schittini, Emotec was a manufacturer of highly specialized single-use medical devices. In 2003, Emotec obtained authorization from AIFA as a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility, expanding its original core business through collaborations with leading pharmaceutical companies.

Today, Sidam is a fully integrated company covering all stages of the value chain, from R&D to after-sales services, with the goal of ensuring the highest level of quality control while offering customers continuous innovation and increasingly tailored solutions. The company currently operates in 19 countries worldwide, and export growth continues to be the main driver of its development.”

He has been working in the biomedical field since 1967 taking up different roles, from technical to management positions. He founded Sidam in 1991 thanks to a business intuition, resulting from the collaboration with a well-known chief interventional radiologist, and Graziano and his wife’s capacity to shape the needs of an international centre of excellence.
