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 This profile is preserved for historical reference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.'

  detail: Colfax Corporation stopped existing on 2022-04-04 — it spun off ESAB and renamed itself Enovis — and its corporate
    domain colfaxcorp.com is now a mail-only shell run by ESAB that publishes no A record at all, so every HTTP probe fails
    at DNS; the only surviving Colfax-branded host, ir.colfaxcorp.com, is a pre-2022 press-release archive on Q4's IR platform
    that returns 403 to every non-browser client including /robots.txt.
