Profile
HISTORY
Toscana Gomma was founded at Empoli after the war as a company in the CEAT group for the production of rubber products for the army. Towards the end of World War II, it moved to Robbio Lomellina in the Pavia province.
At the end of the war, Giuseppe Olmo, a famous professional cyclist in the 30s, founded the “Olmo Cycles” in Celle Ligure which needed both the technology and the raw materials for the production of rubber tires.
The cyclist’s enviable entrepreneurial skills gave him the idea to take over and rebuild Toscana Gomma, which lay unused after the war.
Under the guidance of Giuseppe Olmo, Toscana Gomma began a new life producing rubber in all its forms.
Around the late 50s the polyurethane foam was developed and patented, and the industrial foresight of Giuseppe Olmo along with moving tire production to Eastern Europe gave Toscana Gomma a new life dedicated to producing flexible polyurethane foam.
Since then, polyurethane foam has been the core business of Toscana Gomma and the Olmo Group, allowing the company to compete on the international market.
