A new business model to safeguard and revitalise Made in Italy radiology.Villa: “How we are enhancing the value of expertise and know-how on the international stage”. A shared commitment to shaping a new approach to global markets goes beyond a conventional acquisition, bringing together the credibility of established names with the potential and know-how of smaller companies. “The Italian radiology industry is one of the best in the world, with expertise, knowhow and innovative capabilities that are unmatched internationally. But to compete in today’s and tomorrow’s markets, we need to build synergies to avoid being overwhelmed by major foreign players that are taking a keen interest in these businesses,” says Davide Baratto, CEO of Villa Sistemi Medicali, outlining the philosophy behind an initiative intended to be more than a conventional acquisition. “The acquisition of a 70% stake in CFD brings together two complementary industrial backgrounds: two distinct identities, one shared vision. We have no intention of erasing or absorbing their identity; on the contrary, we want to help them expand internationally. The Italian radiology industry has grown and become what it is today thanks to generations of entrepreneurs, engineers and technicians who have transformed specialist expertise into equipment used worldwide. Today, to continue innovating in an increasingly demanding market, that expertise needs resources, organisational support and long-term prospects,” Baratto explains. The product portfolios of Villa Sistemi Medicali SpA and CFD Srl complement each other perfectly, making the decision to join forces an almost natural step for the two companies. Villa is a long-established company, well known and highly regarded in the medical sector, with a longstanding focus on the development and manufacture of radiology systems ranging from digital radiography rooms to remote-controlled tables for radiography and fluoroscopy. International markets account for more than 85% of its revenue. CFD is a younger company, but one with substantial know-how: over twenty years in business, it has specialised in the design and manufacture of X-ray monoblock units and generators, selling thousands of units for medical and veterinary applications. It also has expertise in portable systems, mobile systems for ward use and C-arms. “The two brands will continue to operate with their own identities, and Cerqua will remain at the helm of CFD. This commitment to continuity recognises the value of the people, relationships and technical expertise developed over time. Our ambition is more than simply to become bigger: we want to bring together what each company does best, preserving their identities and creating the conditions for innovation and growth,” Baratto concludes. His words are echoed by Daniele Cerqua, CEO of CFD: “For us, joining forces opens up opportunities for collaboration in design, procurement, manufacturing, quality and market access,” he explains. “Villa’s international network will help bring CFD solutions to a wider audience, enabling us to diversify our applications and markets. We have built this company by investing in expertise, products and close customer relationships. This new chapter with Villa allows us to take on more ambitious technological and commercial challenges while continuing to value our identity and the people who work here.” It is therefore a decision that embraces both the needs of today and continuity, bringing a shared dream ever closer: passing Italian industrial know-how on to new generations and turning it into innovation.
