BBracco Imaging is a global leader in diagnostic medical imaging, focusing on contrast agents and imaging solutions. It develops and sells iodine-based contrast agents that are used during radiology and imaging procedures to make blood vessels and organs easier to see on scans. These agents work by altering the way tissues appear on CT and other imaging modalities, improving visualization of anatomy and pathology. Bracco emphasizes research and development to create products with better visibility and patient tolerability, building a presence in more than 100 countries from its headquarters in Italy. Unlike many competitors, Bracco’s history spans nearly a century, starting as a family business and growing through sustained innovation in imaging chemistry and supportive imaging technologies, aiming to provide clinicians with safer, clearer imaging options to aid diagnosis and treatment planning.

Bracco, a global diagnostic imaging company, plans to invest $230 million in its first US manufacturing facility for injectable contrast media. The plant will be in Sanford, North Carolina, and is expected to create 200 jobs. The US is Bracco's largest market. The new sterile facility will add capacity, bring supply closer to American hospitals, and join the company's existing plants in Europe, Asia, and Canada. Bracco chose Sanford for its skilled workforce and life sciences ecosystem. "As a family-owned company, we invest for the long term," said Fulvio Renoldi Bracco, vice chairman and chief executive officer of Bracco Imaging. The jobs will span manufacturing, engineering, quality, warehousing, and administration.
Bracco Imaging has launched the BubbleGen CD3+ T Cell Selection Kit, expanding its cell selection portfolio based on microbubble technology. The kit offers an alternative to magnetic bead-based methods used in cell therapy manufacturing, aiming to reduce complexity, time, and cost. The solution uses deflatable microbubbles to isolate CD3+ T cells for applications including CAR-T and TCR-T development. After separation, the microbubbles dissipate naturally, leaving cells free of magnetic particles. This addresses industry concerns about bead detachment and cell loss in columns. The kit supports T cell isolation, depletion, and process development workflows. It is now available for research use following the early access programme launch in May. Bracco will present the technology at the CAR-TCR Summit in Boston on 16-17 September. The company invests around 9% of turnover in R&D and generates approximately €2 billion in annual revenues across over 100 countries.
Bracco Imaging has launched VUEWAY injection (gadopiclenol) in Mexico following approval from COFEPRIS in September 2025. The contrast agent is approved for use in magnetic resonance imaging for adults and children aged 2 years and older. VUEWAY enables effective contrast enhancement whilst reducing gadolinium exposure for patients. This aligns with radiology societies' guidance on using the lowest effective dose when contrast-enhanced imaging is required. The product is now approved in 38 countries worldwide, with more than 4 million patient doses administered. In the EU and US, the approved indication extends to neonates and infants. Gadopiclenol was initially invented by Guerbet with subsequent contribution from Bracco IP. The two companies entered a worldwide collaboration on manufacturing and research and development in December 2021.
Bracco Imaging has received the 2026 EcoVadis Platinum Medal for the second consecutive year, placing it among the top 1% of companies assessed by the sustainability rating platform. The Milan-based diagnostic imaging company improved its overall score from 83 to 91 out of 100, recording gains across all four assessment categories. The recognition reflects strengthened sustainability practices, including expanded ISO certification coverage across production sites and revised procurement processes. Bracco also obtained voluntary limited assurance for selected sustainability indicators. "This result is especially meaningful because it reflects not only continued top-tier performance, but measurable improvement," said Fulvio Renoldi Bracco, vice chairman and chief executive officer. The company generates approximately €2 billion in annual revenues and operates in over 100 countries.
ACIST Medical Systems, a Bracco company, has received US FDA clearance for its ACIST Pro Diagnostic System, a variable-rate contrast management solution for image-guided cardiovascular procedures. The system is now launching in the United States. ACIST Pro evolves the company's CVi technology, which clinical use has shown reduces contrast use by an average of 45ml, cuts contrast-induced acute kidney injury by 30%, and saves approximately five minutes per procedure compared to manual injection. The system delivers automated, real-time precision for contrast media in interventional cardiology. The device was previously launched in Japan in 2025 and received CE mark approval for European markets in February 2026. ACIST Medical Systems is part of the Bracco Group, which invests around 9% of its reference turnover in research and development.
