In 1930, Robert Leo of Florida, USA, invented the world's first slow-speed technology juicer and produced the initial model for customer use. This year Los Angeles was hosting the Olympic Games. Because of Americans' enthusiasm for the Olympics, it was called Olympic Products. The following year, Robert Leo's machine received UL certification and FDA approval.
In 1945, the push rod center ring protection was improved.
The protection function of the machine's electronic system has been improved. Specific technical performance: more intelligent overheating protection and excellent jamming protection. The overall structure and appearance are designed with full consideration of children's safety, ease of use, easy cleaning, and beauty. In 1950, Robert Leo founded the company. After 20 years of product collection and improvement, Robert finally set the speed at three standards: 60 rpm, 70 rpm, and 80 rpm. Two slow-speed models, dedicated for fruit and vegetable juices and multi-purpose in the kitchen, were launched, and high-end commercial-grade standard products were officially provided.
In 1985, the brand was officially renamed Omega; at this time, Omega products accounted for more than 50% of American households alone.
In 1998, as Omega products received widespread recognition and attention, a large number of imitators emerged in the industry between 1998 and 2005.
Imitators are divided into two types: technical imitation and complete imitation.
Technical imitation: In order to avoid appearance patent infringement, companies in the United States, Canada, and Europe generally use this method. They have the same principle as the original brand, but the parts have different shapes and appearances. This can effectively avoid patent infringement (for example: Green star in the United States);
Complete imitation: Most of the similar products in Asia are produced and sold with the same part shape, size and appearance as the original brand machine (for example: South Korea Hurom, South Korea NUC); but from another perspective, the emergence of imitators has accelerated people’s awareness of slow juice extraction technology.
In 2009, Omega was acquired by The Legacy Group, the world's largest high-end kitchen equipment company;
In 2010, Omega Food Dehydrator was launched in the United States, which also maintained The high-end quality of Omega products is comparable to the world-renowned high-end brand Excalibur dehydrator.
