1974 Franco Mori, with his children Giorgio and Andrea, began developing his technological ideas in a small shop in the Florentine Chianti area, in Tavarnelle Val di Pesa. In the early years production focused on wine-making machinery. This led to the acronym T.E.M.: Toscana Enologica Mori.
1981 T.E.M., with many successes under its belt earned through the construction of Delta stalk removing machines and Alfa wine pressing machines, relocated to the industrial area of Tavarnelle Val di Pesa, where the company began developing and broadening its range of wine-making pants with pumps, filters, and semi-automatic wine bottling machines.
1984 The oil plant production process began in the mid-Eighties. That year the first Minifrantoio (Mini-mill) was presented at “Fieragricola” in Verona (a farming trade fair), which was a highly innovative process of reduced dimensions that allowed small farms to extract oil directly on their farm. This plant had a press and an Idea model natural decanting separator, which replaced the centrifugal separator and allowed cold processing.
1993 Giorgio Mori, to date still the creator and developer of every T.E.M. machine, realised that in order to achieve high quality, the olives must be processed shortly after harvest: the OLIOMIO project began from this concept.
1995 Patrizio joined the company in 1995 and Giacomo in 2001 thereby bringing in the third generation of the Mori family, creating continuity to the development of the brand’s growth.
