Brief Description:

    The story of OMIG is a 59-year saga of family, craftsmanship, and unwavering resilience. The adventure began in September 1966, when Oliviero Cocchi and his nephew Enzo Iori opened a small mechanical workshop in Reggio Emilia, starting with simple turning operations. This marked the founding of not just a company, but of a family legacy. A decade later, the first major transition began as Oliviero’s son, Ivano Cocchi, joined the business. This new energy prompted a move to a larger facility and a pivotal decision to enter into gear production, charting the course for the company's future as a specialist in transmission components.

    In 1981, the torch was officially passed as founder Oliviero stepped down, leaving the company in the capable hands of Ivano and his partner Enzo. They moved into a new headquarters that would become their home for over three decades, the very site where OMIG would experience its greatest growth and solidify its reputation for quality and service. The company’s path was clear: they specialized, they invested in their people, and they expanded into foreign markets, with their quality soon becoming highly appreciated in Germany and Spain.

    However, the company’s history was forged through tragedy as well as triumph. In 1986, co-founder Enzo Iori passed away suddenly, a profound loss that left the family and the business reeling. In this difficult moment, Ivano Cocchi stepped up as the sole leader, and the family rallied, with his wife Daniela and Enzo’s widow Adria joining the company to ensure the legacy they had all built would endure. By 1988, the modern corporate structure was formed, and the company continued its steady growth, a testament to its incredible resilience.

    The following years were a period of consolidation and powerful modernization. In 1998, all of the Cocchi family's mechanical activities were reunited under Ivano's sole management. As the new millennium dawned, OMIG focused its investments heavily on innovation, equipping itself with cutting-edge robotics, advanced machinery for large parts, and a fully equipped metrology lab. This technological leap, combined with a continuous focus on hiring specialized personnel, further elevated its production and global organization. This era of transformation culminated in the summer of 2016 with another historic move to a new, state-of-the-art facility—a massive undertaking that saw 98 machines relocated in under a month. Today, OMIG stands as the culmination of this incredible journey: a technologically advanced, globally respected leader in transmission components, built on the unbreakable foundation of one family's passion and perseverance.
