History

On 11th November 1944 the company with the name “Tecnici Elettro Meccanici Associati” has been established in Somma Lombardo (Varese) by four technicians with different specializations, in order to satisfy the growing need of Electric Tools and Motors expressed by the national market. Pictures showing the first products: a wood-metal polisher and a gear motor.

The business expands with the first aviation collaborations with “Offcine Meccaniche Giovanni Agusta” on the first American Bell helicopter manufactured by Agusta in Italy. "On Aug. 11, 1952, Domenico Agusta signed an agreement with the American company Bell Aircraft Corporation and undertook the challenge of the future to produce and sell helicopters. On May 22, 1954, the first helicopter built by the Agusta company, an Agusta‑Bell 47G, took of from the Cascina Costa; only two years later, the 100th helicopter was delivered. Helicopter production increased dramatically in the 1960s after signing agreements with US manufacturers Sikorsky, Boeing and Hughes Helicopters". The pictures are showing the first Bell 47G and a vintage Bell 47J Ranger advertise.

Our company designs, manufactures and homologates its first aviation product, a small Tachometer Generators MIL-G-26611, MIL-PRF-26611, GEU-7/A (still used on some aircrafts) which were boarded on Bell and Agusta helicopters until today. The pictures are showing the first Tachometer Generator and a vintage drawing.

The company establish its own first Quality System based on the Italian Ministry of Defence AA-Q-1 (AER-Q-01) and the first Company Quality Manual, showed in the picture.

During the 70s and the 80s the business grows with the collaborations with Agusta company on the A109 programme and on first Bell helicopters manufactured by Agusta under licence. The company was working on airplane and helicopters equipment, especially for the Agusta A109 with its first flight in 1971.
