OLI Wolong - Motovibrators For the World

Only one year after WAMGROUP® had taken over the Italian vibrator manufacturer OLI®, in 1998 a joint venture between WAMGROUP® and the Chinese WOLONG Group was established in Shangyu near the city of Shaoxing in Zhejiang province, a three-hour car journey from Shanghai.

With the clear ambition of becoming the world's number one manufacturer of electric motovibrators before 2010, in 1999 production of OLI®'s MVE models began in a small workshop with fifteen employees.

In 2004, the number of employees had risen to 125,a brandnew six thousand square-metre factory building was inaugurated.

By 2008, two years earlier than scheduled, OLI® had reached its goal of becoming the world's leading manufacturer of motovibrators delivering more than 200,000 units only that year.

In 2010 vibrator sales at OLI Wolong have kept increasing at a breathtaking rate. Since the early days of selling to the construction industry, new applications for OLI® vibrators have been discovered. Some of them may be a surprise, such as money counting machines, tobacco processing machines, or massage chairs.

The first phase of a comprehensive investment programme in automation and control of all production processes nearly completed, the company now employs 210 people.

However, this is just the beginning of OLI Wolong's future which in 2011 will move to new premises, a greenfield project including 18,000 square metres (4.4 acres) of factory buildings and a fully automatic warehouse.

Today OLI Wolong is the top supplier of the domestic market in China.
