Italian orthopedic implant manufacturer based in San Daniele del Friuli, acquired by Enovis (NYSE: ENOV) in 2024. Specialized in extremities (shoulder, elbow, foot/ankle) and pioneering 3D-printed trabecular implants.
LimaCorporate S.p.A. is an Italian orthopedic medical device manufacturer founded in 1945 in San Daniele del Friuli (Friuli-Venezia Giulia region). The company specializes in joint reconstruction implants — particularly extremities (shoulder, elbow, wrist, foot and ankle) — and was an early pioneer in 3D-printed porous titanium trabecular implant structures, a technology now central to several of the major orthopedic players. In 2024, LimaCorporate was acquired by Enovis Corporation (NYSE: ENOV), the US-listed orthopedic and medical technology company that emerged from the 2022 separation of Colfax. Post-acquisition, LimaCorporate continues to operate from its Italian headquarters with its existing brand and product lines, while integrating into Enovis's broader extremities and reconstruction platform.
LimaCorporate has strong installed positions across Italian orthopedic units, particularly in shoulder reconstruction where its SMR (Shoulder Modular Replacement) system is one of the most-used platforms in European orthopedic surgery. The company is well-positioned on Italian regional procurement frameworks (Lombardia ARIA, Emilia-Romagna Intercent-ER) and has clinical KOL relationships across Italian orthopedic societies.
