About Bracco

On 1 July 1927, a small company trading in pharmaceuticals set up an office in Piazzale Susa in Milan. A few weeks earlier, Elio Bracco had signed a notary deed incorporating the company bearing his name, the company that is now the Bracco Group. The family business, which has never stopped growing since then, is now an established global leader in diagnostic imaging, an advanced medical technology that underpins a whole area of treatment vital for human health. The success of the Bracco Group is also ascribable to the far-sighted vision of the founder’s son, Fulvio, who joined his father’s firm immediately after graduating from Pavia University. In the 1950s, Fulvio focused his research activity on the chemistry of iodine and its use in diagnostic imaging, then a niche area of interest, which he developed into an industry that Bracco has been revolutionizing ever since. The Group's main products are contrast media, medicinal specialities used to improve the diagnostic accuracy of biomedical imaging and the management of patients with diseases of various natures and severity.
