OCEM Airfield Technology traces its origins to 1917, when Multi Electric was founded in Chicago, and to 1921, when Buini & Grandi was founded in Bologna, Italy.
More than 100 years of engineering history have given the company a deep,
hands-on understanding of how airfield lighting systems perform under real-world conditions.
