Mr. Adda thanks to his entrepreneurial ability immediately reinvents his profits in the construction of the new building and in the purchase of new machine tools.
From the very beginning, it buys high quality and precision machinery to ensure a high reliability product that will always characterize its working philosophy.
Furthermore, with the 461 model born the idea of universal machine, which is suitable for various types of manufactoring, for exaple bracelet decoration and medal diamond cutting.

THE FIRST DIAMOND CUTTING MACHINE FOR CHAIN
The chain to be machined with excellent results needs to be calibrated. With the first diamond engagement tests on the chains, the first technological problems are highlighted.
THE CALIBRATION
It is from this need that the idea of making a tapping machine for chain is born.

RA2000 IS BORN & FIRST LOGO
The chain locking sistem by means of a vice made up of two disks, is introduced for the first time. The continuous search for a product of ever increasing quality encourages Mr. Roberto to develop a 2-head vertical diamond spindle with spindles of very high precision, conform to perfectly mirror speckled surfaces on all types of chain.
Also, in that same year, the first logo O.M.P.A.R.

The first logo O.M.P.A.R., which identifies and makes
the product recognizable throughout the world, is born.

Universal diamond cutting machine RA961
It is during this period that Mr. Roberto decides to develop a universal diamond cutting machine with 2-head (vertical-horizontal) and with features that make it suitable for performing any kind of decoration on jewelery objects.
The precision of mechanical machining, the large dimensions of the cross-table as well as the wide range of accessories, give this machine the qualities of great versatility of use.
The change of the guard in the technical department
There is the introduction of the electronic component applied to the already established mechanical precision.
This marriage is developed and improved over the years, until it reaches the quality standard of our day.
