Our HQ
OPEM is based in Parma in modern industrial area. The premises occupy rather a large, 33,583 m2 plot compared to the actual size of the building. The reason for this was the company’s decision to set aside 5,110 m2 for landscaped grounds, about 15% of the overall plot. OPEM’s new headquarters has a total footprint of around 16,700 m2, including a research and development centre covering 12,000 m2, the production and assembly facility and 4,700 m2 of office space for the company’s management, administration team and sales staff.
The new building was designed and built in line with the company’s philosophy and vocation, i.e. the pursuit of the ideal balance of research into new technologies and the awareness of issues affecting the environment.
Intelligent design, transparency and communication between the various sections are the architectural themes that guided the arrangement of the internal areas and the facades of the new facility. The “story” begins with a corner entrance - a representative point par excellence - which leads to the hall where space is distributed. This energetic central hub is characterised by the spiral body of a staircase and by the main lift.
The building is innovative and modern. Great effort has been put into many different aspects, the most important of which are energy conservation, smart management of all utility systems, virtuous technical decisions such as ventilated facades with thermal insulation for the offices and floor-mounted radiant heating, and even the addition of a large photovoltaic roof with overall power rating of 542 kWP.
New ideas will continue to be conceived and developed in this facility, and all the projects that have enabled the company to grow constantly and solidly will exclusively be built internally. Such development has led OPEM to operate with professional commitment and competence on all its markets worldwide.
CASE HISTORY
The story of OPEM S.p.A. took root in the Parma area of Italy and then rapidly spread its wings toward national and international markets. It is the story of a small, family-operated company founded in 1974 by Fabio Binacchi, who began with the purchase of a business on the via Emilia Est that was active in the pasta sector. It was there that Mr. Binacchi laid the groundwork for what was to become OPEM.
In the beginning, there were only ten employees, and the coffee market was yet to be explored, but little by little the company developed patents for major food processing industries, where a continuous demand for new weighing and packaging solutions spurred the company to develop and offer new systems that could be used in different sectors. Mr. Binacchi began production on behalf of other companies and, thanks to innovative experimentation, explored the packaging not only of pasta and cookies, but also of coffee.
He has constantly been committed to ongoing research into innovative solutions for improving the performance and quality of the company’s packaging systems. Thanks to its entrepreneurial philosophy, OPEM has reached excellent levels of technological sophistication and can thus provide the advanced production solutions demanded by the market, while still maintaining the traditionally fine craftsmanship of its products at the highest levels.
In the 1980s, OPEM was already working with major customers such as Barilla and Kimbo, and as the years passed, more and more large foreign companies and groups have also chosen OPEM. The introduction of pods and capsules on a strongly developing market has allowed the company to grow and expand, a fact which is also due to foresight and to the production of highly flexible plants that can adapt to and meet the needs of the company's various customers.
The firm moved to the industrial area in Parma in 1984, where it still operates with 105 employees.
