Boring and metalwork

O.M.C. Consolato is a point of reference for the mechanical machining industry in Reggio Calabria and its province: thanks to the great experience gained in the sector, the company's staff are able to provide high quality milling and turning services at competitive prices.


Not only that: the company provides customers with precise consultancy about industrial and naval mechinary maintenance, gear manufacturing and repairs.

Our hystory

The history of our company began in 1925, when a young mechanic named Angelo Consolato, trained at the FIAT in Turin, opened a small workshop in Bagnara Calabra, a town in the province of Reggio Calabria.


At first, the business focused on manufacturing and repairing the engines of the very first cars and boats used by people at the time. Offering services for boats was a remarkable innovation for those times! Bagnara is, in fact, a town whose economy was and still is based mainly on fishing.

Three generations in precision engineering

In the 1950s, Angelo's son, Salvatore, started running the business with his father. As a young, brilliant and ambitious  industrial expert, he was cable of expanding the workshop and turning it into a real company. They first invested in the professionalism of the workforce and later on diversifying the work and services offered.

OMC, in fact, works with highly qualified personnel that has operated in this sector for generations


OMC was also one of the very first businesses in the south and certainly the first in the province of Reggio Calabria, in terms of size, to apply the C.C.N.L. (Collective Bargaining Agreement) for metalworkers. This is undoubtedly due to the fact that, for Salvatore Consolato, workers at all levels were considered the most important asset in the entire production chain.


Salvatore Consolato has turned OMC into a company specialised in precision mechanics and today we are a key player in this sector both in Calabria and through Italy.

Specialised machine shop

In addition to precision engineering, the company manufactures, maintains and services industrial machinery, manufactures gears, provides turning, milling, welding, boring, manufacture, maintenance and servicing of engines boats.


In particular, we owe Salvatore Consolato, the construction of the first "industrial torroniere" (professional nougat production machine for the preparation of "Torrone di Bagnara I.G.P.") and of the "passerelle" (the typical boats used for fishing swordfish ). These inventions, by choice, were not patented.


OMC plays an important role in the construction of the first SALERNO-REGGIO CALABRIA motorway, and since the 1970s, has counted among its customers "Nuova Pignone - Pirelli", Ansaldo Breda - OMECA; APSIA SUD and many other small and medium-sized companies throughout Calabria.


In the nineties, Rosy Consolato, daughter of Salvatore, took over and under her leadership the company expanded further.


To date, OMC relys on twelve highly qualified units. The company is member of Confindustria RC. We offer our services, as well as to small and medium-sized enterprises and individuals, also to multinational companies such as Honeywell U.O.P. (Reggio Plant) and M.C.T., Porto di Gioia Tauro, always with excellent production standards and positioning ourselves as a point of reference in the precision machining sector.
