Officine Meccaniche Marchetti
Incorporated in 1970, OMM was the brainchild of Agostino Marchetti - a product of his enduring passion for mechanical engineering and the graphic arts. From its beginnings as a manufacturer of items for the printing industry and accessories for graphic art, OMM today is the European leader in the production of pre-press and binding equipment. After the first few years of activity, the company began developing the first paper drills and stapling machines, bring it up to its current standing as the manufacturer of the world's most prestigious range of paper drills and one to four-head stapling machines.
In 1986 OMM began research into the manufacture of plate developing machines. In 1990 the firm expanded, taking over FIAR, DELTAGRAFIC and BRALMI, manufacturers of plate developing machines with a history spanning some 25 years and 30,000 units installed all over the world.
In 1996 the expansion process continued with the take-over of TECNOGRAF and IGT, manufacturers of machines in the pre-press and photopolymer sector, thereby acquiring the know-how needed to create the world's most comprehensive line of line of plate makers, plate developing machines and photopolymer machines.
