Sordina

What Sordina does

Sordina S.R.L. is an Italian medical technology manufacturer founded in 1878, specializing in high-technology medical equipment for hospitals and surgical facilities. The company operates two main product lines: an integrated sterilization system spanning washing/decontamination, packaging, steam sterilization, and sterile storage; and a range of multidisciplinary operating tables. Headquartered operationally in Aprilia (Latina province) with an administrative office in Vicenza, Sordina maintains a global footprint through direct sales and authorized distribution centres, supported by a domestic service network covering all Italian regions with an eight-hour response commitment.

Sordina's sterilization portfolio includes the S36, S66, S336, and S336E steam sterilizers built around a dual-microprocessor control architecture that separates cycle management from operation control. The sterilizers use AISI316Ti austenitic stainless-steel chambers backed by a 10-year warranty, 5.7-inch color touch-screen interfaces, and connect via ethernet to the proprietary STERI-SERV supervision software for cycle traceability and reporting; the S336E features a 71-liter capacity with an integrated electric vapor generator. The operating-table line includes the ST1 (mechanical/hydraulic movements, 297 kg capacity), ST5 (electro-dynamic with electro-dynamic floor blocking for orthopedics), ST9 (electro-dynamic for high-complexity surgery including neurosurgery and spinal procedures), and the legacy ST8 (electro-hydraulic, end-of-series). All tables use modular, interchangeable sections in stainless aluminium alloy with no welds or protrusions for cleaning efficiency.

Sordina generates revenue from three streams: capital equipment sales (sterilizers and tables sold directly or via distributors), after-sales service and maintenance under tiered contracts (regular maintenance, full service, full risk, full-full risk) with eight-hour response commitment, and consultancy/design services for the layout of sterilization centres, including training and validation against UNI EN 554 and UNI EN 285. The firm is privately held as a Società a Responsabilità Limitata (S.R.L.) with approximately 10 employees, no disclosed external funding, institutional investors, or public ticker. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly listed. The company holds ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 certifications and designs products in compliance with the EU Medical Devices Directive 93/42/EEC, the Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC, and multiple EN standards (EN 285, EN 17665, EN 61010 series, EN 61326). The leadership team is not publicly disclosed in the source material.
