OMSI Trasmissioni

What OMSI Trasmissioni does

OMSI Trasmissioni S.p.A. is an Italian family-owned manufacturer of mechanical power transmission systems, founded on February 6, 1959, by transmission designer Giovanni Soncina and now operating through three generations of family ownership. The company designs and produces split shaft and engine power take-offs (50–600 kW), hydro-mechanical transmission units, rigid and steering axles in cast iron or welded steel, gearboxes, couplers for pumps, and railway transmission systems for rail and on/off-road applications. Operations are headquartered in Roè Volciano (Brescia), with manufacturing in Prevalle on a footprint of 49,452 sqm of factory/workshop/office space across 140,252 sqm of land, supported by an internal metallurgical laboratory, a 600 kW test bench for validation, PLM/3D CAD/FEM/CFD engineering software, and Industry 4.0 integration with SAP ERP. ISO 9001 (one of the first Italian adopters, in 1993), ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications are held, and the company maintains complete autonomy from design to assembly.

The product portfolio is organized into four core lines — Power Take-offs, Hydro-mechanical Drives, Axles/Transmissions/Gearboxes, and Railway Transmissions — and a growing E-mobility line under the OMSI Hybrid & Electric Drives division that adds parallel shaft e-axles (input speeds up to 13,000 rpm), dropboxes for high-speed e-motors, a 2-speed Powershift e-gearbox (max input torque 500 Nm, max input speed 11,000 RPM), wheel hub and sprocket drives, integrated PTO/PTI hybrid solutions, a compact electric drive module, railway e-axles, and electrification-specific cooling system modules. OMSI Software & Control operates as a system integrator for VCUs, ECUs, advanced hydrostatic drives, CVT transmissions, suspension, steering, and data acquisition, layering controls and software alongside the hardware catalogue.

OMSI runs a B2B direct enterprise sales model targeting OEM manufacturers across multiple verticals: special vehicles (combined sewerage drainage, hazardous-waste transport, concrete pumps), municipal and emergency services equipment (road sweepers, road washers, firefighting vehicles, snow ploughs, cranes), agricultural and construction machinery, railway equipment (maintenance machines, road/rail vehicles, axle capacities from 30 to 300 kN), and electric mobility (EV/HEV/PHEV). The company sells through wholly-owned subsidiaries in Italy, France (OMSI France), the USA (OMSI Transmissions, Inc., Twinsburg, Ohio), and China (OMSI Trade Shanghai), supported by an international network of Technical Advisors. With 286 employees and no disclosed external investors, OMSI operates as a private industrial firm with revenue not publicly reported.
