CONCRETE TECHNOLOGY72 CPI %u2013 Concrete Plant International %u2013 1 | 2026 www.cpi-worldwide.comThe history of OLI Spa began in 1961, in the productive heart of Lombardy, like that of many Italian companies: small, specialized, strongly rooted in its technical knowhow. The company immediately dedicated itself to the production of immersion vibrators for concrete, essential tools for compaction in civil and industrial constructions. It is a technical sector, not very visible to the general public, but decisive for the quality of the works. And Oli understands from the beginning how much the efficiency and reliability of vibration can make a difference.In the seventies and eighties, the offer expanded: the first electric and external pneumatic models were added to the internal vibrators, intended not only for traditional construction sites but also for the world of prefabrication. It was a decisive step: from a company focused on the vibration of concrete, Oli began to become an increasingly versatile player, capable of responding to different needs and rapidly evolving industrial sectors.Internationalization and structured growthStarting in the nineties, Oli began a path of internationalization that radically changed the company's profile. The first foreign subsidiary was established in China, a courageous choice for the time, which anticipated a strategy of direct presence in the main industrial markets of the world. Openings in Europe, South America and Southeast Asia will follow, designing a widespread commercial and logistics network.1997 marks another turning point: the entry into the Wamgroup brings new skills, resources and an already consolidated international platform. At the end of the nineties, foreign expansion accelerated, while in 2003 the headquarters were transferred to Modena, in the Emilian mechatronics district, a symbol of a new, broader and national corporate identity.The process did not stop: in 2015 the entry of Wolong Electric as the main shareholder allowed Oli to integrate into a multinational industrial reality, opening up new production and commercial possibilities. At the same time, the acquisitions of Visam (2013) and Covibra (2019) further consolidate the company's technical offering, expanding its expertise and market segments.The result is a diversified group, capable of serving very different sectors %u2014 from heavy industry to packaging, from automotive to food %u2014 while maintaining a profound coherence: developing technologies to improve processes in which vibration plays a decisive role.The concrete sector: where it all beganDespite growth and diversification, the concrete sector remains the original place of the Oli identity. It is here that the company built its know-how, refined the first solutions and developed one of the most complete catalogues on the market today.From Milanese origins to global successOLI Italy S.p.A., 41036 Medolla (MO), ItalyOli vibrators in use: in the production of precast elements and ready-mixed concrete
