- Robassomero, 24 December 2025 – Omikron srl, a company specialising in polypropylene (PP) compounding based in Robassomero, announces the signing of an agreement for the sale of 70% of its share capital to Orinko Advanced Plastics, a leading Chinese company operating in the polymer compound sector for the automotive industry.
- The transaction, subject to the necessary regulatory and antitrust approvals, is expected to close by the first half of 2026.

Its customers include major international car manufacturers. The company operates through two main product systems – polymer materials and multifunctional films – and is active in the automotive, household appliances, new energy, consumer electronics and electrical/electronic sectors, with applications also in the railway, construction, healthcare and energy storage fields. Listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the company is thus entering the European market, significantly strengthening its ability to serve automotive manufacturers on the continent.

The integration with Orinko will allow us to access new technologies, expand our product range and serve European customers more effectively. We will continue to lead the company in the coming years, ensuring stability and leveraging the expertise of our team.”

The combination of know-how, innovation and global presence will enable us to offer increasingly advanced and competitive solutions in multiple industrial sectors, with a particular focus on the automotive sector, at a time of profound transformation towards sustainable mobility and electrification.
- Pending completion of the necessary authorisations and closing, expected in the first half of 2026, the transaction guarantees full management continuity, with Alberto Borio and Giancarlo Rizzi remaining at the operational helm of Omikron for the next few years, ensuring stability and preserving established relationships with customers and partners. The agreement also maintains employment continuity, consolidating the role of the Robassomero plant as a strategic hub for the European market.
