description: >-
  Colfax Corporation was a diversified global manufacturer founded in 1995 in
  Richmond, Virginia by Steven and Mitchell Rales. In April 2022, Colfax
  completed the spin-off of its fabrication technology business as ESAB
  Corporation (NYSE: ESAB) and renamed itself Enovis Corporation (NYSE: ENOV),
  refocusing on specialty medical technologies. The Colfax brand and corporate
  entity no longer exists as an operating company. This profile is preserved
  for historical reference and routes to the two successor entities. No
  Colfax-branded developer APIs were ever published; any successor APIs would
  fall under Enovis or ESAB.
