History
Nuova Ompi, the first company of the Group, was founded in Venice – Italy in 1949 by Giovanni Stevanato, father of the actual president Sergio Stevanato. In 1959 the company moved to its current location: Piombino Dese, Padua – Italy. A second company (SPAMI) was established in 1971, specialized in the design and construction of high-speed precision machines and complete lines for the production and control of glass tube containers for pharmaceutical use. In 1993 Stevanato Group purchased Alfamatic (Latina - Italy), a company producing ampoules and cartridges. With the acquisition of Medical Glass (Bratislava - Slovak Republic) in 2005, the Group opened to the internationalization. In 2007 the Group acquired Optrel (Vicenza – Italy), an Italian company specialized in the design and the construction of inspection machines for the pharmaceutical industry. In addition, Nuova Ompi launched the EZ-fill brand, starting with the production of sterile syringes. In 2008 a new production plant called “Ompi of America” was built in Monterrey – Mexico. Two years later the EZ-fill concept was extended to vials and cartridges. In 2012 the Group doubled the Monterrey plant and started the construction of a new plant in China (Zhangjiagang - Shanghai area). In 2013 the Group acquired InnoScan, a Danish manufacturer of state of the art high-speed inspection machines for the pharmaceutical industry.
