What OMCO does

OMCO International N.V., headquartered in Aalter, Belgium, is a precision manufacturer of moulds, neck rings, plungers, guide plates, and accessories for the global glass container packaging industry. Founded in 1964 and now operating as a division of the family-owned BMT Group (a diversified industrial conglomerate with nearly 5,000 employees across 12 countries), OMCO serves approximately 30% of the global glass mould market, equating to roughly every third glass bottle worldwide being shaped by an OMCO mould. Its customer base spans glass container manufacturers producing bottles and jars for beverages, spirits, food, pharmaceutical, and perfumery applications, ranging from 5 ml vials to 8-litre bottles. Heineken is referenced as a named customer.

The company operates a fully vertically integrated production model spanning concept design, in-house metal casting at two foundries (Belgium and Slovenia, producing 11,500+ tonnes annually of lammelar, nodular, vermicular iron, and bronze grades), CNC precision machining and simulation (Mastercam, TypeEDIT, PowerMill, CIMCO), laser welding (enabling mould lifetimes exceeding 1 million glass gobs), robotic production lines (notably at the world's largest dedicated glass mould facility in Hum na Sutli, Croatia, producing 600,000+ neck rings and 1,000,000+ guide plates per year), assembly, and final inspection. Each complete mould set comprises 10-12 precision-engineered components designed for extreme thermal and mechanical stress. R&D/digital capabilities extend to in-house Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) for full traceability and closed-loop material recovery via subsidiary OMCO Metals.

OMCO's commercial model is direct enterprise sales, with no third-party distributors or resellers, executed through 9 regional sales offices and 6 production sites globally (Belgium, Croatia, Romania, Turkey, South Africa, India, plus sales offices in the UK, France, Austria, Italy, USA, and Malaysia). Revenue streams include one-time mould and component sales, repair and refurbishment services (Light/Medium/Extensive tiers), and material recovery/circular services. Pricing is quotation-based, not publicly disclosed, varying by specification, volume, and customization. The company maintains ISO certification (continuously held since initial certification), GDPR compliance, and a published Code of Conduct and Business Ethics. Total headcount is 1,550+ employees.
