What OCME does

OCME S.r.l., founded in 1954 and headquartered in Parma, Italy, is an industrial machinery company specializing in end-of-line packaging automation. It is a subsidiary operating under the direction and coordination of Aetna Group Holding SPA, a privately held diversified packaging manufacturing group that also includes the Robopac, DIMAC, Prasmatic, and Meypack brands. OCME's product portfolio spans five core solution areas: (1) fillers for viscous liquids, (2) secondary packaging machines including shrink wrappers, wrap-around case packers, and pick-and-place systems (Vega HT, Altair, Gemini HT, Leo, Polaris, DIMAC and Prasmatic families), (3) palletizing and depalletizing systems (Orion Advance, Pegasus M, Dorado), (4) stretch wrapping and banding machinery largely marketed under the Robopac brand (HELIX 3/4 EVO, HELIX 4/2, GENESIS FUTURA 40, PALWRAPP), and (5) internal logistics via Laser Guided Vehicles in the Auriga series supported by a proprietary Warehouse Management System and the OCME 4.0 digital platform.

OCME serves enterprise manufacturers across five primary verticals — beverage (its largest segment), food, home and personal care, lubricants, and paper/tissue/corrugated — with named deployments at companies including Coca-Cola Femsa, Coca-Cola HBC Italia, Heineken, Mahou, De Cecco, Goya Foods, Enoitalia, Caviro, and Refresco Italia. The company sells through a direct enterprise field sales motion with embedded engineering teams that deliver tailor-made turnkey lines from planning through installation. Revenue is generated through capital-equipment sales of machines and integrated lines plus an aftermarket services stream covering on-site and remote support, spare parts, maintenance contracts, machine upgrades, and an e-learning academy. Notable proprietary technology includes Packetto™ (up to 30% film savings), CUBE TECHNOLOGY™ for pre-stretch film control, and LGV systems with WMS-ERP integration, the latter recognized via the OCME 4.0 System deployed at facilities such as the 8,300 sq.m. Coca-Cola Femsa Uruguay distribution center.

The company operates with a headcount of 251–500 employees, maintains ISO 9001 certification, and has adopted Italian Legislative Decree 231 compliance and EU Whistleblowing Directive procedures. It reports a global footprint with multi-language presence (English, Italian, German, Chinese, Portuguese, Spanish, French) and active case studies across Europe, the Middle East, North America, and South America. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.
