Production and sale of mobile batching plants for use by the construction industry in placing screeds and floor slabs
Our mission
Our mission is to supply simple and reliable equipment to building contractors laying concrete floors and screeds on site, allowing them to operate in an efficient and profitable manner. We will save you time, and enable you to operate with simplicity, with automatic screed machine, in the most complex of situations, maintaining an organised worksite and a clean environment.
Overmat has become a key player in the research and development of solutions for improving construction industry operations. Our systems enable the precise, efficient and rapid production of the widest range of materials required for the floor finishes needed on construction sites, whether they be base slabs or screeds for flooring.
The Overmat business unit emerged from a specialisation developed within the Ormet group in the late 1990s, establishing itself internationally in just a few years. Its business activities cover the design, production and sales of mixing and pumping machinery for screeds and lightweight slabs, as well as equipment for the logistics requirements of modern worksites.
The history of the business is closely linked to that of its parent company Ormet. Ormet was founded in the province of Treviso in 1972, starting out as a maintenance workshop for industrial vehicles. It later became a distributor for leading brands of hydraulic truck loader cranes and other lifting & handling equipment. At the end of the 1990s, initially in response to specific requests for special products, it began developing its own solutions for the construction and handling sectors.
A few years later the business unit adopted its own brand, taking the name of Overmat.
With its operational headquarters at just a short distance from the administrative offices of Ormet, Overmat’s facilities extend across an area of 9,000m² of which 3,500m² are under cover. Although still a young organisation, Overmat is highly organised, complete with:
- a sales team providing daily support to customers;
- a technical office that listens to the needs of customers and translates them into practical solutions; a customer training department;
- a reliable and comprehensive after-sales service operation.
The evolution of Overmat technology
The best automated mobile batching machinery for mixing and pumping traditional and self-levelling concrete screeds and lightweight foundation slabs
It starts out as a workshop repairing trucks and tractors. It then begins to specialise in maintenance and assistance for trucks, and in the installation of loader cranes.
Ormet establishes IMAI as a subsidiary to develop activities in the field of lifting and handling on construction sites. The new company starts to develop designs for the first mobile batching plants for producing screeds and subfloors; a mechanism for rotating the silos was also developed.
2000
The first machine for A Series lightweight slabs (foam concrete and polystyrene) appears, with fixed-position mixing silos.
In due course, the first machine for traditional screed (T Series) is produced, with screw-conveyor extraction and a fixed mixing drum.
The tilting system for silos and conveyor-belt sand extraction are introduced and refined in this same period.
The early 2000s also see production of the first machine for self-levelling pre-mixed screed with fixed mixing drums.
A restructuring of the Ormet group merges IMAI with its parent company. Its main activity is the creation of the Concrete MIXER business unit.
Development begins of the first ALS machine (for self-levelling screed) with drop-down sides in the sand compartment and a drop-down/lift-up mixing drum.
The Overmat trademark from the former Concrete division of IMAI is registered.
Exports start to grow in France, Austria, Germany, Turkey, Poland, Switzerland, Scandinavia and Belgium.
Overmat produces the first machine for traditional pre-mixed screed and also installs double-mixing for the T Series (traditional). Later, it produces the first EPS machine (for lightweight subfloors) with separate compartments on board for cement and polystyrene.
Ormet S.r.l., of which Overmat is a business unit, has more than 45 years of history. The company, with its administrative offices in Colle Umberto (Treviso), at the foot of the Venetian Prealps, is in an industrial area of more than 30,000m2, with 10,000m2 under cover. It employs more than 100 people across the following business units:
