Dear Visitor,
O.ERRE's history began in the
period after the 2nd World War as a small part of what is known as
"The Italian Miracle".
My father, an employee, advancing to
supervisor, and then to minority partner began a long sequence of
bond purchasing to buy out the other partners, thereby becoming sole
owner of the company Officine Romanò.
The first two letters O & R (written phonetically in Italian)
resulted in our chosen trademark OERRE, which at that time was
considered very modern.
As sales abroad increased it became evident that the pronunciation
of these two letters in the various languages of northern Europe
created a phonetic chaos. A solution was to create a pause between
the two with a dot : O.ERRE. In fact nowadays, our trademark abroad
has become "Oh Air"! We are very happy for this casual association
that gives meaning to our mission of producing solutions for
ventilation.
In synthesis:
O.ERRE, conceived in Milan the 28th January 1950, was transformed by
founder Riccardo de Paoli in 1973 into a joint stock company with
the goal of industrial development of ventilation for the home,
professional and industrial use.
In 1992 the factory moved to Mezzago where the process of evolution
of production systems began. Now after 15 years, O.ERRE is readying
for a new challenge, the opening of a new plant in Trezzano Rosa,
doubling the production surface to better satisfy customers and
markets. The inauguration is scheduled for January 2008.
Innovation in technology and products together with typical Italian
design are the major factors for our success in emergent and
traditional markets. Now the major portion of O.ERRE production is
exported world wide devoting its resources to quality R&D (Research
and Development) for customer satisfaction.
The company is associated with
ANIE
and since 1995 is working with a UNI EN ISO 9001 Quality System
certified by
CSQ –
IQNET, later
implemented to Vision 2000.
The R&D control studies with check levels during all stages of
development, guarantee quality products and customer satisfaction,
thereby offering important growth possibilities to sales partners
and distributors world wide.
Corresponding norms and regulations are guaranteed in function of
different model characteristics, by
IMQ,
by KeyMark, by
UL, by
other important institutions or by the CE conformity declaration.
The approval
CESI (Italian
Sperimental Electrotechnical Centre) is used for the industrial ATEX
range.
The continuous relationship with institutions specializing in safety
certification resulted in the presentation to O.ERRE, in 1991, the
IMQ badge of merit as user for over
25 years by The Italian Institute for Quality. In conjunction with
our relocation we have also updated our web site. Now it is better
conceived to meet the needs of customers with more search
capabilities and interaction services. The Internet project,
started in 1995, offers us today a more constructive and productive
way of working together.
Thank you for your kind attention.
The Chairman
Elido de Paoli
