History
Esaote was founded in Genoa in 1982 as a division of Biomedical Electronics Ansaldo Ansaldo SpA . In 1984 its activities with those of Elsag SpA converge in Esacontrol. In 1986 STET acquires Tuscan Officine Elettromeccaniche Biomedica - OTE Biomedica Elettronica SpA and in 1988 moved to the Finmeccanica which shall merge it with the biomedical sector Esacontrol, giving rise to Esaote Biomedica SpA, created by Elsag, Selenia and Ansaldo (hence the ' acronym ESA). Privatized by the state in 1994 it changed its name to Esaote SpA and two years later was listed on the Milan Stock Exchange, which was released in 2003 following a ' takeover bid for 100% of the share capital sponsored by Bracco SpA, already the majority shareholder since 1998 through Bracco Holding NV.
In May 2016 Esaote has opened a new office at the science and technology park Erzelli of Genoa.
