In a highly technical sector like CNC machining and precision small parts, it’s easy to think that a company’s success is measured solely by the power of its machinery or the centesimal tolerance of its components.However, since 1942, OMPS SrlIt built its solidity in Caino, in the province of Brescia, on a very different principle: the true driving force behind every technological innovation is people.
The story of Simone Salice , an employee of the company, perfectly embodies this philosophy. It’s a tale of courage, personal growth, and, above all, a work environment capable of welcoming one’s talents with open arms, even after a departure.
Simone’s journey : leaving to grow, returning to stay
In 2025, Simone made a momentous decision: to voluntarily resign his job to pursue a career and life experience abroad. A bold choice, driven by a desire to challenge himself, broaden his horizons, and take on new international challenges.
In many companies, an employee’s resignation is seen as a definitive end to relationships. At OMPS, however, human dynamics follow different rules. The company understood Simone’s choice, recognizing that experiences outside one’s comfort zone enrich individuals not only personally but also as human beings.
Today, after completing his career abroad, Simone has chosen to return to Italy and, more importantly, to return to OMPS . The company, consistent with its core values of people’s well-being, welcomed him back and hired him back without hesitation. This wasn’t simply a “return to the past,” but the reintegration of a professional who now brings with him a wealth of new experiences, while also returning to the same team that had seen him grow.
Employee well-being as a corporate pillar
The decision to rehire Simone is not an isolated case, but the natural consequence of a corporate culture that prioritizes collaboration and mutual support.OMPS firmly believes that a happy, valued, and understood employee is the true driving force behind a top-quality product.
Here’s how OMPS translates the value of people into concrete actions:
- Open doors for talent: Demonstrating a willingness to reintegrate those who have chosen to gain experience elsewhere means fostering a culture based on growth and mutual trust, overcoming the rigidities typical of the labor market.
- Collaborative work environment: In the workshop, among the new vertical machining centers and the latest generation automatic lathes, each member of the team is considered an integral and fundamental part of the process.
- Focusing on people, not just production: The company constantly invests in innovation—as demonstrated by its recent transition to an LLC or the expansion of its photovoltaic system for more sustainable production—but it does so while maintaining a deep connection to the balance and well-being of its team.
Beyond the CNC: Why Talent Chooses OMPS
The modern market, especially in historic and demanding industrial hubs like Brescia, sees fierce competition for specialized technicians. Retaining or re-attracting professionals requires much more than simple contractual stability.
At OMPS, precision applies not only to the milling and machining of steel, aluminum, or titanium, but also to the care and attention paid to human relationships. Simone Salice’s return is tangible proof that a company capable of listening, being flexible, and truly valuing its employees’ ambitions becomes a true point of reference. A working “home” where, even after exploring the world, one happily chooses to return.
Welcome back, Simone.
