Farewell to the Omnium

In 1960, the decision was made to take the ‘Omnium’ out of the production program, leaving only the 'President' in a series of narrower types. The Omnium had proven to be a success. From the end of the Second World War, Picañol had manufactured more than 8,000 Omniums. Gradually, the demand for wider machines grew and the company decided to expand the range of products with a series of machines suitable for wider cotton fabrics as well as heavier materials. With the use of as many parts of the existing products as possible, two new types were launched.
