O.M.A.R

What O.M.A.R does

O.M.A.R. S.r.l. is an Italian manufacturer founded in 1980 and headquartered in Trezzano sul Naviglio (Milan), specializing in pharmaceutical blister packaging and deblistering machinery. The company designs, builds, and assembles all equipment in Italy from its ISO 9001:2015 certified facility, targeting pharmaceutical manufacturers globally through a network of authorized sales agents and distributors. Its product portfolio spans the full production lifecycle: automatic high-speed blister machines (BF 150, BF 100, BF 50 family), thermoforming machines for deep containers (BF 50 HT, Fantasy HT), R&D and clinical-trial scale machines (Twin Pack, OG Blister, Fantasy ST/Plus), and a complete deblistering range (B200, F130/F140/F160 Sympaty series, S40/S50/S80, S200) used for recovering product from non-conforming or expired blisters.

The underlying technology is centered on precision mechanical packaging with PLC-based control (Siemens, CFR21 Part 11 compliant), brushless motor pitch control, and integration with third-party vision and pinhole-detection partners (Scanware, HPF, Lixis, Laetus). Notable proprietary elements include the Planet Pack system on the OG Blister, which enables PLC-guided automatic format changeover via a rotating table and head, and integrated isolator/containment chambers that support OEB 4/5 handling of high-potency active pharmaceutical ingredients. Production capacities range from small R&D batches (Twin Pack — claimed as the world's smallest semi-automatic blister machine) to industrial-scale lines achieving up to approximately 8,000 blisters per hour on the BF 100.

Revenue is generated through one-time capital equipment sales of blister/deblistering machines and recurring aftermarket services including Factory Acceptance Test (FAT), Site Acceptance Test (SAT), IQ/OQ validation, on-site training, warranty, and maintenance contracts. Pricing is quote-based rather than publicly listed and is delivered via a global field-sales motion executed by country-level sales agents rather than direct O.M.A.R. employees, with end-of-line secondary packaging handled through specialist implementation partners.
