INVATEC - Innovative Technologies
Where we come from ...
Prior to founding Invatec, two European entrepreneurs, Andrea Venturelli and Stefan Widensohler, had already developed successful medical device businesses on their own. 

The Venturelli family consortium was immersed in technology, deeply involved in research and development projects for medical devices, a natural evolution from the production of precision components for the luxury automotive industry. 

Meanwhile, the German based KRAUTH-group, under the proprietorship of the Widensohler family, had established one of the largest European medical device distribution and service companies, also covering minimally invasive interventional technologies in cardiology and surgery. 

By combining the Venturelli family's proprietary knowledge of the application of polymer and metal technology to medicine with the Widensohler family's knowledge of distribution channels and their established relationships with physicians throughout the world, Invatec was founded in 1996, with a vision to become the world's leading innovator in the production and distribution of catheter-based therapeutic and diagnostic technologies for the treatment of cardiovascular and peripheral vascular disease. 

From our inception ...
It has been our belief that the most prevalent disease states, and the underlying clinical needs that have yet to be addressed, will require an alignment of ideas between physicians, engineers, and technicians to address these underlying clinical needs with world leading technology that can improve patient outcome and increase overall life expectancy.

This alignment of ideas needs a communication platform, with people who understand and have the ability to translate ideas into viable treatment concepts, thereby creating new device markets. Invatec has been committed to provide this communication platform through its lesion specific treatment concepts and targeted technology platform, its focused approach on Interventional Cardiology and Peripheral Vascular markets and its entrepreneurial spirit: We make ideas come alive ... and place them in the hands of physicians in the fastest way possible. These core competencies have allowed Invatec to differentiate and position itself worldwide as the preferred partner to an increasing number of innovative physicians.

Where we are today ...
Invatec is one of the world's fastest growing companies in the design, development and production of Interventional Cardiology and Peripheral Vascular products. The Invatec family of employees includes more than 1000 people throughout the world with direct Customer-Support Teams in most major markets, including the world's two largest: USA and Japan.

Where we are going ....
Invatec's vision remains to become the world's leading innovator in the production and distribution of catheter-based therapeutic and diagnostic technologies for the treatment of cardiovascular and peripheral vascular disease.

We would like to thank our current customers for supporting our vision and making Invatec what it is today, and we welcome our new customers to take part in our vision and help make Invatec all it can be in the future.

To all, we promise continued innovation, together in an exciting and focused climate of responsible partnership and friendship.
