About Us

The Company

"The success of any company, or of a community, stems from the values that inspire it. Seriousness, competence, commitment, respect and responsibility are cornerstones for growth. Speaking for myself and my family, I would also add the spirit of sacrifice. Owners are expected to show even more responsibility, which is conveyed through their commitment to putting themselves at the disposal of the company. For this reason we never considered it an end but a way to fulfill our abilities and our ambitions.”

Mr. Roberto Saccone – President

Our Vision

Our goal is to provide comfort to our customers worldwide, where they live, work and play.

Our History

Founded in 1956 in Gualtieri, Italy as a family owned business, Olimpia Splendid was a leading manufacturer of wooden, gas and paraffin heating units. In the 1980’s, we pioneered the development of our first air conditioning platform, while in the 1990’s we were recognized as the second largest vendor of portable air conditioners in Italy. It is thanks to the intuition and the introduction of our first air conditioner with no outdoor unit, branded MAESTRO, that the company experienced significant growth and the achievement of our goals from the year 2000 to present.

Global Presence

For over 60 years Olimpia Splendid has distributed its Made in Italy products in more than 50 countries worldwide.

The Olimpia Splendid Group’s headquarters and manufacturing plant are located in Cellatica, Italy just outside of the city of Brescia, while in Gualtieri, in the province of Reggio Emilia, is the company’s distribution center.

Since 2005, Olimpia Splendid was aware of the immense potential and opportunities on the global market for their products, and therefore initiated an internationalization strategy, which led to the Group’s considerable revenue growth.

In that same year, Olimpia Splendid opened two subsidiaries, a sales office in Madrid, Spain and an office in Shanghai, China to function as the procurement and sales hub for the Asian markets.

In 2011, Olimpia Splendid foreseeing significant signs of growth in the renewable energy market in France, which aligned with the Group’s internationalization objectives, opened the new sales office in Paris, France.

In 2017, the decision was made to expand its global footprint by opening a sales office in Itajaí, Brazil to be able to offer the Olimpia Splendid Made in Italy products to the Latin American market, while still maintaining its corporate focus on internationalization.

In 2019 two additional sales offices opened in Texas (USA) and Melbourne (Australia).
