Two partners, Luciano Fecondini and Andrea Bocchi, founded Medica S.r.l. in 1985. This was the result of their previously long collaboration at Hospal Dasco, where they cemented a common vision and project.

Their expertise and spirit of innovation soon made them into some of the prime world consultants to the largest manufacturers of dialysis and infusion disposable products.;

Together with studies and consultancy, Medica is commonly asked by its clients where they can find the technology required to implement the findings. From the beginning the two partners realized the importance of offering a complete service, including research and project completion technology.

In 1990 this vision became reality, thanks to the acquisition of Tecnoideal, a company located near Modena specializing in machinery production and automation. From then on, Tecnoideal has become today's company. At the forefront of technological innovation, producing a wide array of machines to satisfy the needs of producers of disposable medical devices.

Thus, the founding partners can now offer a comprehensive innovation package to companies producing medical devices, from component R&D to automated production lines.

In the early '90s Medica and Tecnoideal applied their joint experience to the development of an innovative technology, which allowed the precise dosing and distribution of solvents within the gluing areas between lengths of tubing and plastic molded components. The dispenser eliminated dangerous contaminations, direct contact with the operators and material wastage. It was the first step of an evolutionary process repeated hundreds of millions of times every year.

In the following years, Medica/Tecnoideal dispensers acquired an almost iconic value, confirming the group's role as field leader worldwide.

The new dispenser improves the working conditions of disposable device assemblers.

Tecnoideal's growth and success coincided with a time of strong international demand, and the company quickly developed a client portfolio which included both domestic and foreign makers. The attention paid to foreign markets soon became the company's trademark, driving further diversification and the development of a wide package of technological solutions.

By founding Technomed (US branch), Tecnoideal came a step closer to its US clients, establishing itself as a strategic supplier to several medical multinationals.

Tecnoideal's epochal ideas are the direct heirs of the initial vision shared by Medica's two founders: develop a process, finding solutions both practical and effective.

Progress in dialysis, filtration and infusion techniques has generated new production needs.

Tecnoideal is often first-to-market, anticipating such needs with dedicated machinery that reflects the results of the final product R&D.

Tecnoideal has contributed several innovations, applying them to:

• Tube cutting machines
• Leak and obstruction testing equipment
• Coiling machines before set packaging and sterilization
• Automation of continuous production of disposable complete sets

Andrea Bocchi has acquired a wide experience in the automation field, to be further developed thanks to Tecnoideal's acquisition.

Since the early '90s, Tecnoideal has aimed to acquire a global presence, animated by the Italian and European supply chain strong development.

At the beginning, Tecnoideal's expansion was linked to Middle East markets.

In 1995, Tecnoideal established Technomed, its US branch. This milestone marks the company's successful entry in the US market.

In 2019, the company branched out again, founding Shanghai Tecnoideal Asia. The goal was extremely challenging: to bring Tecnoideal's exclusive innovations and know-how to the Far East markets.
