Considered the wonder child of the century, Olivetti Weaponry was founded by Michael Olivetti, who resigned as a factory foreman at [[Defiance Industries]] in 2990. After discovering the ruins of an old [[Star League]] facility on Sudeten, by [[3005]] Olivetti miraculously got a working 'Mech factory up and running. By [[3025]], Olivetti had more than tripled in size, producing the [[Warhammer|WHM-6R ''Warhammer'']], [[Thunderbolt|TDR-5S ''Thunderbolt'']], [[Hunter (Combat Vehicle)|Hunter]] tank and [[J. Edgar]] Hovercraft.<ref name=HSp123>''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)'', p. 123, "Weapons Industries - [Olivetti Weaponry]"</ref>

Like many existing military manufacturers, Olivetti benefited from the discovery of the [[Helm Memory Core]] and by [[3050]] had almost completed retooling to produce the advanced-tech WHM-7S ''Warhammer'' and TDR-9S ''Thunderbolt'' models. While deep in Lyran space and thought safe, the [[Clan Invasion]] showed otherwise and despite the efforts of even the vaunted [[Gray Death Legion]], Sudeten and the Olivetti factory fell to the forces of Clan Jade Falcon, who chose the planet as their Inner Sphere capital.

Extensively refitting the factory in the decade since its capture, the first Clan-tech BattleMech built by the Jade Falcons in the  Inner Sphere, the second-line ''[[Spirit (BattleMech)|Spirit]]'', rolled off the production line in [[3063]]. After first successful producing second-line designs, the upgraded Olivetti facility began to manufacture both new and old frontline [[OmniMech]]s as well as replacement equipment, greatly reducing the Clans reliance upon matériel from the [[Clan Homeworlds|Homeworlds]].
