History

OMSI was born in Bologna in 1961 on the initiative of three partners; plastic toy molds were initially made. From 1967, with the purchase of the first manual injection molding machine, production turned to the creation of plastic seats: the first self-made mold was the D5 polypropylene seat with metal legs.
In the following decades, production diversified with the introduction of new molding machinery and the creation of innovative products such as plastic garden furniture items.
In the nineties, with the approach of the World Football Championships, organized in Italy, OMSI created the first seat for sports facilities, the M90 ​​model then installed at the Renato Dall’Ara Stadium in Bologna, at the Tardini in Parma and at the Sant’Elia of Cagliari. Since then, OMSI began to concentrate its investments in the industrial production of seats for the sports world, which thus became the company’s core business.
