The industrial transformation of Mirandola,
an agricultural area in the Po Plain, took place in the 1960s,
elevating this Cinderella to princess status. Growing rapidly,
the biomedical sector has achieved international importance, with
over 2000 people employed in about 80 firms, some of them with
links to multinationals or large Italian companies capable of
supplying not only financial resources and technology, but also
the distribution channels for distribution on a world scale.
Some firms have become European leaders, thanks in part to modern
robotised, computerised systems for the manufacture of biomedical
devices.
