The Story Behind Cormica
A Latin-inspired Name for a Mission-driven Company
Cormica is a name that reflects our expertise and focus. It’s made up of three Latin words that capture what we do: ‘cor’ from corporalis (physical), ‘mic’ from micro (small or microscopic), and ‘ca’ from chemica (chemical).
This name highlights our dedication to providing complete and innovative testing solutions for the medical device industry. Latin has deep roots in medicine and science, and many medical terms come from Latin. By using it in our name, we honour its lasting influence in the scientific world.
Cormica stands for our commitment to offering forward-thinking solutions for the medical device industry.
