The numerous companies in the district now cater for a very wide range of healthcare areas, including haemodialysis, cardiac surgery, anesthesia e intensive care medicine, apheresis e plasmapheresis, blood transfusion, nutrition, gynaecology.

[citation needed] From this initial nucleus, technicians and investors (including Veronesi himself) broke away several times to set up their own business projects and found other companies.

The biomedical district suffered very serious damage from 20 May onwards, aggravated by the devastating tremor of magnitude 5.8 on 29 May, whose epicentre was just 2 km from the industrial area of San Giacomo Roncole and caused the death of four people crushed by the rubble of the Aries and BBG companies.

The fact that many large companies belonged to international industrial groups and that many warehouses were covered by insurance against natural events (including earthquakes) meant that the financial resources needed to rebuild and restart were found more quickly than the aid promised by the state.

[7] As early as 2014, lay-offs were no longer being used, while between 2015 and 2016 90% of the district's biomedical companies were back at full capacity,[8] with even an increase in production compared to the pre-earthquake situation.

[12] Data from the Observatory on the biomedical sector in the Mirandola district for the year 2000 showed a turnover of around 1,000 billion lire and an export quota of around 61%.

[19] However, as Mirandola is an area of agricultural origin, the organisation of the transport network was not designed for industrial movements: this still causes problems in terms of roads and traffic.
