Emac Vital Technology

What Emac Vital Technology does

EMAC s.r.l., operating as Emac Vital Technology, is a Genoa-based Italian medical technology distributor and integrator founded in 1979 by a family with prior expertise in medical equipment. The company supplies hospitals, clinics, rehabilitation centers, and IRCCS research institutions across Italy with a portfolio spanning multiparametric monitors, defibrillators, ECG systems, videolaryngoscopes, extracorporeal life support, cardiopulmonary diagnostics, and emergency care devices, alongside an advanced robotic rehabilitation line featuring Tyromotion (Lexo, Amadeo, Pablo, Tymo, Myro, Tyrostation), Ekso Bionics exoskeletons (Ekso GT), Dessintey IVS3, TechnoConcept Vibramoov, Movendo hunova, and ANEUVO ExaStim systems.

The company operates two complementary business engines: distribution of international OEM brands under national and regional exclusivity agreements (Simulab nationally; Laerdal for Liguria, Piedmont, and Valle d'Aosta; plus Tyromotion, Ekso Bionics, Dessintey, TechnoConcept, Movendo, Verathon, Aferetica, and others), and a vertically integrated services stack built around the EMAC Campus simulation and training facility (established 2011), a nationwide technical assistance and preventive maintenance network, and an internal R&D division that has participated in approximately 20 co-financed research projects with universities and IRCCS partners under MIUR and regional funding. EMAC holds one patent and is currently developing EMACConnect, a proprietary software platform for digital operations management.

EMAC is privately held, with Mario Camia serving as President, and shows no external institutional investors, parent entity, or public listing. Its customer base spans Italian public hospitals, private clinics, and specialized rehabilitation and research institutions, generating revenue through hardware sales, distribution margins, recurring technical assistance contracts, and training and simulation services under a quote-based enterprise B2B pricing model.
