The innovative machine for corn harvesting “Integral Head” from the ’50.

More than sixty years ago, at the beginning of the ‘50, smart Emilio Olivero, from Cuneo, designed and patented a corn harvesting machine called Testata Integrale (Integral Head). The innovative technical solutions and the peculiar amphitheatre shape of the machine, allowed for an optimal supply of the harvester, so to separate the ears from the stalk and shell the corn leaving stalks and windrow on the ground. For the time being that was a sort of revolution: before that moment little corn was cultivated because harvesting it was quite hard.
With the introduction of Olivero’s Integral Head corn cultivation became more important and spread.

2012 – Confindustria Research and Innovation Award to Giuseppe Carboni, Olimac founder.

Maria, Emilio Olivero’s daughter, married another man that was able to transform farsighted ideas into tangible realties: Giuseppe Carboni.
Together with his wife, Carboni created Olimac and, year after year, introduced increasingly performing corn head machines, firstly on the national market and secondly on the international ones.
