What OMB Saleri does

OMB Saleri S.p.A. Società Benefit, headquartered in Brescia, Italy (Via Rose di Sotto 38/C), is a privately held Italian manufacturer of precision-engineered valves, regulators and safety devices for high-pressure and cryogenic gases. Founded in 1980 (per firmographics; the company itself claims "over thirty years" of production for residential gas/water), the company operates four product divisions — Hydrogen (350/700/1000 bar on-tank valves, regulators, TPRDs, check valves, filling receptacles for on-board storage and fuel-cell systems), CNG Automotive (Alfa New, Beta New, ESA, Apus, Argo cylinder and filling valves for light/heavy-duty vehicles), Aerospace (EN 9100:2018-certified aviation and space components including PRV/SOV manifolds, latch valves and H2 tank valves), and IBU Residential (gas safety valves VAIT/VAT/Socket, water excess-flow Waterstop devices, quick connectors and caravan valves) — plus a precision metal-machining service line producing brass and aluminum components on CNC, transfer and multi-spindle machinery. The technical platform rests on an in-house R&D function (~20% of workforce, average age under 30, fluid-dynamics specialists), a cryogenic and ATEX high-pressure testing laboratory, an ~700 sqm ISO 8 clean room for H2 and aerospace assembly, automated poke-yoke assembly lines, and capability to manage fluids at 0–2,000 bar across hydrogen, CNG, helium, methane, LPG and cryogenic conditions.

The business model is a hybrid of engineered component sales and co-development professional services. Revenue is generated primarily through direct B2B sales to OEM and After-Market customers in automotive, aerospace and HVAC segments (Export Area Manager, 24-hour sales response, consignment stock, Just-in-Time delivery, 12-month/year shipments including August); supplemented by co-design, prototyping and validation services (PPAP/ISIR); and by contract metal-machining work for Automotive and HVAC customers. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; products carry integrated safety functionality (TPRDs, PRVs, excess-flow valves, thermal and push-and-turn devices) that command specification-driven pricing tied to international homologation. The customer base spans Tier-1/Tier-2 automotive OEMs, hydrogen mobility integrators (light/heavy-duty, trailer, train, forklift), aerospace primes (Airbus collaboration disclosed 2025; Bosch research collaboration 2021), residential gas/water appliance OEMs and caravan manufacturers across Europe, UK, USA, Canada, Australia, China, Poland, Netherlands, Russia and Ukraine. The company became a Società Benefit in 2022 and holds EcoVadis Silver Medal (2020, 2025), ISO 9001/IATF 16949/EN 9100/ISO 14001/ISO 45001/ISO 50001/UNI PDR 125:2022 certifications, plus product approvals under EC79, ECE R110, ISO 15500, ANSI-AGA NGV 3.1, DVGW, NF, CSA, TPED and Chinese GB/T 35544 (first-to-market, 2019). It has received Italian public grants (Bando Tech Fast, Bando Al Via €150K non-repayable, Bando Linea Innovazione €162,264.60 interest contribution) and PNRR/NextGenerationEU funding through CN MOST for hydrogen aviation projects, but no equity funding rounds are disclosed. OMB Saleri operates from a 5,720 sqm Class A energy warehouse expanded under Industry 4.0 (2019-2023) at a total financed investment of €2,160,000, supported by a ~950 kWp on-site photovoltaic system producing 1,080,000 kWh/year.
