Mr. Virginio Oleari gained his work experience in the company "la Rhodense", where he became production manager, specialized in conductors for electric windings.

Together with his wife, Mrs. Jolanda, he founded the OLEARI VIRGINIO company, designing and building the machine to coat capillary metal alloy threads (Nickel-Chrome/ Manganine/ Copper/ Brass) in pure silk.

With the development of the national telephone network, and thus doubling the production volumes, the company consistently expanded. The taping of copper wires and strips is introduced as a new process to compensate for the lower demand for coiled alloy wires.

As a consequence of the development of new radio and television channels, the production specializes in copper capillary wires (diam. 0.10 mm) covered in natural silk, and manufacturing of Litz wire is introduced (insulated in silk or new materials such as Nylon) to have an alternative to the German production.

Copper and aluminum flat and non-capillary wires, coated with tapes for the electromechanical sector, are added to the production catalogue.

The production of copper shields for cables is introduced, mainly used for telephony and wiring.

Together with his son Antonio, a new company was created, Elektra Wire S.r.l, where the production of bare and insulated drawn and laminated products for electrical and mechanical use was entirely transferred.
