Since 1953, when its founder Olmes Ognibene built his first “workshop” for assembly of tractors/agricultural machinery in Correggio/Italy, Ognibene has come a long way, becoming a globally-recognized leader in the design, development & manufacturing of hydraulic steering system components (actuators and steering units), expanding & consolidating its market presence in several countries. Today the company is still family-owned but has become a multinational corporation. At the beginning of the new millennium Ognibene started a further major expansion, opening new manufacturing sites in Brazil, India, China and North Carolina (USA) and sales offices in Japan and Germany, and today can count on 1,200 employees.
