Welcome to OM: A Legacy of Excellence in Material Handling Equipment
Explore the remarkable heritage and international reputation of OM, a prestigious global brand that has revolutionized the realms of industrial growth and logistics on a global scale. Established in 1899 in Milan, Italy, under the name Officine Meccaniche, OM quickly made a name for itself by producing high-quality railway rolling stock. Over time, OM’s dedication and innovative spirit propelled its expansion into the domains of earth moving equipment, trucks, cars, and cutting-edge solutions tailored for the dynamic logistics sector.
From locomotives and rolling stock to groundbreaking automotive achievements, OM has left an indelible mark in history. The OM badge proudly adorned the car that triumphed in the first-ever Mille Miglia race, showcasing the brand’s prowess. The iconic 851 model, an Italian railway locomotive, showcased OM’s engineering excellence from its introduction in 1898 until its retirement in 1971. OM’s light truck range, including the Leoncino (Baby Lion), Tigrotto (Baby Tiger), and Lupetto (Baby Wolf), stood out for their strength, performance, and modern design.
