A few years later, the company expanded its activity by creating a new factory for producing and refurbishing railway vehicles under the name of Officine Meccaniche di Pinerolo.
In 1938, the local foundry and the new factory were consolidated into a new company: the Officine Meccaniche Poccardi Pinerolo.
The American paper machines producer, Beloit Corporation bought up the company in September 1957.
The company was renamed Beloit Italia and started to supply machines and equipment to the worldwide pulp and paper industry.
Since the Nugo Group has bought it up, PMT Italia has enlarged its activities through the creation of subsidiaries.
