Soon after World War II with a fast growing economy and industrial activity Tortona became a very important cross-road among four North Western regions such as Liguria, Piedmont, Lombardy and Emilia Romagna. In that period many transport companies started their activity in Tortona and Caldana had the opportunity and skill to start up a small-scale production of super structure body work and tankers for dangerous and non dangerous products.
In 1955 the Company has been acquired by local industrialists to become OMT-Officine Meccaniche Tortonesi.
The new industrial trace and the development of market demand on rail, road and sea transport equipment gave an impulse to new projects and to technological improvements.
The high technological level reached by OMT in the past decades brought the Company to reach a pre-eminent level among Italian road tankers manufacturers.
OMT is motivated to expand its commercial activity in the major European countries by achieving homologations of innovating products and by taking advantage of its industry knowledge and expertise.
