SAES Devices

SAES Getters is an Italian industrial group specializing in advanced materials and technology, with a historically significant presence in the healthcare sector through its medical device component business. The company was a global leader in the production of Nitinol (nickel-titanium) shape memory alloys, which are essential for minimally invasive medical devices such as stents, heart valves, and orthodontic wires. In 2023, SAES Getters completed the sale of its core Nitinol medical business, including subsidiaries Memry Corporation and SAES Smart Materials, to Resonetics for approximately $900 million. Despite this divestiture, the company remains an active player in high-tech materials science and continues to provide specialized components and vacuum technology for various industrial and scientific applications.
