History

In 1970, Eugene Corasanti (1930–2015) purchased a small medical supplied distributor in Utica, New York. He originally named the company Concor Enterprises, but later renamed it to Consolidated Medical Equipment, Inc. [8] Its first product was a disposable ECG electrode. [2] Corasanti served as CEO until 2006 and chairman of the board until 2014. By the time he retired, CONMED had grown to around $700 million of sales. [8]

In May 2003 CONMED was cited by the FDA for violations at its Colorado plant. [9] Later in 2003, it filed suit against Johnson & Johnson, alleging that Johnson & Johnson was illegally coercing hospitals into purchasing their surgical instruments. [10] A financial analyst for Zacks in 2006 criticized CONMED for taking on the financial strain of this suit, combined with poor growth and debt from recent acquisitions. [11]

Eugene's son Joseph J. Corasanti replaced him as CEO in late 2006, [12] which was criticized by some as nepotism. At the time, the board had consisted entirely of Utica-area residents. [13] Joseph stepped down in 2014. [14]

In July 2022, CONMED moved its headquarters from Utica to Largo, Florida. Its plant in Utica remains open. [15]
