What ATS does

ATS Applicazione Tecnologie Speciali Srl is an Italian medical imaging company founded in 1981 in Torre de Roveri (Bergamo) that designs, manufactures, and integrates digital X-ray imaging systems for healthcare facilities and OEM medical device partners. The company's product portfolio spans three lines: Surgical C-arms (Arco FP, Arco FP-S, Arco FP-SF21) using flat-panel detection technology, Digital Radiography and Fluoroscopy (DRF) imaging systems (HIRIS RF43-TS), and DR software platforms (PRIMO S, which includes AI-enabled imaging tools and Tomosynthesis). Serving hospitals, surgical centers, diagnostic imaging departments and OEM manufacturers, ATS combines in-house R&D (around 40% of qualified personnel in labs) with a customization-led proposition including white-label hardware, GUI personalization, regulatory support and lifetime technical support via a proprietary training academy and remote connectivity.

The company makes money primarily through sale of medical imaging hardware (C-arms and DRF systems) distributed via OEM partners and global dealer networks, with additional revenue from proprietary DR software licensing, technical support and maintenance contracts, a training academy, customization services, and a fee-based RMA / repair service (€250 fixed administration fee plus repair costs for out-of-warranty work). Pricing is largely quote-based for OEM and direct enterprise customers; no public list pricing is disclosed. ATS has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sedecal Group since 2016 and operates as a private limited liability company headquartered in Italy, with ISO 13485, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications supporting its regulatory compliance in the medical device sector.

GTM is hybrid: OEM-embedded distribution accounts for a substantial share via white-label and customized solutions with regulatory support for global market access, supplemented by a dealer/reseller channel worldwide and a direct sales motion through a dedicated commercial department (admin, commercial, support, purchasing) plus a website contact funnel. Customer segmentation is vertical, spanning surgical hospitals, diagnostic imaging centers, and OEM medical device manufacturers. There are no disclosed revenue figures, public-company financials, or external funding rounds; financial visibility is low.
