In 1947 Mr. Angelo Nocivelli, together with his first-born son Luigi,, founded Officine Costruzioni Elettriche Angelo Nocivelli (O.C.E.A.N.), a small family-run electromechanical company. During the 1950s, he specialized in the construction of voltage stabilizers for black and white televisions thus starting the company’s growth. During the Italian economic boom, O.C.E.A.N. went through a radical transformation: from a craft based company to a modern industrial reality
In 1957, the company moved to the small town of Verolanuova – Brescia in Italy and became known simply as OCEAN S.p.A., specializing in cooling appliances and soon becoming a leader in the Italian market at first (producing over 5.000 pcs. in 1960) and later on in the European market as well (producing up to 250.000 pcs.per year by 1964) In 1973 the Nocivelli familiy created El.Fi. „Elettrofinanziaria S.p.A.“ holding in which OCEAN was absorbed, and started a strategy of productive expansionism to other sectors taking over various companies such as:
