From origins to today: the history of OMIG in the plating systems industry

OMIG started as "Fratelli Grassi Fabbri Ferrai," but in 1961, it specialized in plating systems. In 1973, the company adopted its current name, Officina Meccanica Impianti Galvanici (OMIG), marking the beginning of an expansion that culminated in 1977 with the opening of a new plant, significantly improving its production capacity.

The transition to the second generation, represented by Luciano, Giovanni, and Agnese, in 1982, led the company to international growth, with a focus on systems for printed circuit boards (PCBs). Despite the sector's difficulties in the 2000s, OMIG maintained its leadership position thanks to continuous investments in technology and infrastructure.

Since 2010, OMIG has undergone a crucial transformation, introducing electronics into its systems and implementing remote assistance and process traceability. This has allowed the company to ensure even higher quality control and offer increasingly efficient solutions in the field of plating treatments.

In 2020, OMIG took another step forward by upgrading its production processes to comply with the strictest environmental standards. Meanwhile, the involvement of the third generation in the company management has ensured continuity in vision and innovation.



Today, OMIG's product range includes compartmentalized tunnel plating systems, rotary barrel and rack systems, as well as specific solutions for printed circuit boards (PCBs). The offering is completed by drying, finishing, and dehydrogenation systems, accessories for washing, blowing, and air treatment, and rotary barrels for plating systems.
