What Olmer does

Olmer S.r.l. is an Italian precision mechanical machining company headquartered in Passirano, Brescia, that operates as a Tier 1 supplier of original equipment components to OEMs in the agricultural, railway, industrial, and automotive sectors. Founded in 1981 by Enrico Streparava and still controlled by the Streparava family (now in its third generation of ownership), the company produces precision-machined components in cast iron, spheroidal cast iron, aluminum, and steel, with part weights ranging from 0.1 kg to 150 kg. Core capabilities span milling, drilling, turning, lapping, broaching, balancing, hardening and induction hardening, heat treatments, painting, galvanising, brazing, and salt-spray anticorrosion testing, supported by Industry 4.0 connectivity across 90% of machines, a temperature-controlled metrology room equipped with Zeiss coordinate measuring machines and FARO laser scanning arms, and a technical office performing rapid prototyping with 3D technology.

The company's commercial model is direct B2B enterprise sales to OEMs on a quote-based, long-term contractual basis, with no public pricing, no digital marketing, and no third-party distribution. Olmer functions as the Project Manager of a qualified supplier network, providing co-design participation and horizontal integration with foundries, and coordinates complementary processes such as surface treatment, heat treatment, and painting. Its customer base includes CNH Industrial (and predecessor FiatAgri) since 1983, Bonfiglioli since 1998, New Holland since 1999, IVECO since 2004, Moto Morini since 2018, and Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane since 2020, spanning geographies that include Italy, Belgium, Brazil, the UK, Austria, India, and Mexico through its anchor customers. Revenue is generated from one-time component manufacturing contracts under OEM supply programs.

Operations are anchored by an 8,500 sq m production facility (expanded in 2008 and 2021), a workforce of 11-50 employees, and a quality and compliance posture anchored by ISO 9001 certification (since 1999, updated to ISO 9001:2015), IATF 16949:2016 certification (since 2018), and FCA's World Class Manufacturing system (since 2014), with ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and IRIS certifications currently in progress.
