Last May, we participated in the celebration of OMB’s 63rd anniversary, held at the company’s headquarters in Stenico, Province of Trento. This significant milestone marks an important turning point towards large-scale product customization, the transition to a Smart Company, and increasing environmental and social sustainability.
Founded in 1961 by brothers Elio and Alessandro Bailo, OMB began with traditional metal carpentry before specializing in TV mounts. Today, it produces supports for the professional market, maintaining its family business approach while continuously innovating its production methods. In recent years, OMB has strategically evolved, acquiring ITB in 2016 to consolidate its leadership in the professional AV sector and Touch Revolution in 2023 to enhance multimedia communication solutions.
The celebration started in the late afternoon at OMB’s facilities, with guests seated within the expansive production site, creating a unique and engaging atmosphere. The event began with a welcome speech, followed by addresses from local authorities, including Roberto Faloni, Councillor for Craftsmanship of the Autonomous Province of Trento, Provincial Councillor Vanessa Masè, Stenico’s Mayor Monica Mattevi, and Daniela Bertamini. The evening continued with tastings of local specialties, including the famous Polenta Carbonera typical of the area, local white wine, and plenty of conviviality and live music.
International Spirit and Commitment to Local Roots
Despite growth and modernization, Co-CEO Fabiano Bailo emphasized during the welcome speech that OMB remains rooted in Stenico, at over 600 meters above sea level, with a strong commitment to local economic and social development. Co-CEO Carlo Bailo recounted the company’s history, highlighting significant investments in expanding the headquarters, updating production with precision laser machinery, and diversifying the business, including stakes in a major painting company and renewable energy ventures with Alpicapital.
OMB’s ten-year industrial plan focuses on innovation, sustainability, and customization, explained Antonio Zulianello, Sales & Marketing Executive EMEA, emphasizing the shift towards “mass customization” – producing not just replicated products but those tailored to individual clients, becoming a Smart Company, and prioritizing environmental and social sustainability.
