What OMP Racing does

OMP Racing is an Italian manufacturer of FIA-certified motorsport safety equipment and racewear, headquartered in Ronco Scrivia, Italy, and operating as a brand under Racing Force Group alongside Bell Racing, Zero Noise Devices, HPS, and Racing Spirit. Founded in 1973 with 101–250 employees, the company produces a comprehensive product portfolio including racing suits, gloves, helmets, shoes, balaclavas, and underwear (anchored by its proprietary OMP Air Technology fabric platform for advanced lightweight apparel), as well as car and kart components such as racing seats, safety harnesses, roll cages, steering wheels, fire suppression systems, and communication systems. Driver-facing products carry FIA 8856-2018, FIA 8855-1999, and FIA 8853-2016 homologations, and the company holds official supplier status with the FIA and Mercedes-AMG Motorsport.

The company generates revenue primarily through hardware sales of these products via a multi-channel distribution model: a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront (us.ompracing.com with English, Spanish, and Portuguese language support), a global distributor network with a public "Find a Distributor" tool, a dedicated B2B dealer portal (usadealers.racingforce.com), and cross-promotion through Racing Force Group sister brands. Pricing is unit-based, with top-tier FIA-certified racing suits priced at $1,399–$1,999, racing gloves starting at $189, racing shoes at $559–$599, racing seats at approximately $1,199, safety harnesses at $359, and steering wheels at $299–$319. An additional revenue stream comes from customization services for suits, gloves, shoes, seats, and teamwear, plus a lifestyle merchandise line (OMP Style) covering bags, chairs, gaming accessories, and promotional items.

OMP's commercial strategy is anchored on event-driven go-to-market: official supplier relationships with FIA, Racing America, and Mercedes-AMG Motorsport, plus driver sponsorship across Formula 2, Formula 3, Formula E, IndyCar, the World Rally Championship (Toyota Gazoo Racing WRT achieving 53 wins in 100 races since 2017), and the Dakar Rally (double victory in 2025). The company is privately held within Racing Force Group, has no disclosed external funding rounds, and extended brand visibility through product placement in the 2025 F1 movie alongside Bell Racing and Racing Spirit.
