What OMS SPA does

OMS S.p.A. is a privately held Italian industrial manufacturer specializing in hot forging and steel extrusion of near-net-shape and net-shape mechanical components for the transport sector. Founded in 1952 and headquartered in Salassa in the Canavese area of Piedmont, the company operates across 35,000 m² of production footprint with nine hot forging lines that include screw presses up to 5,300 tons, mechanical presses up to 3,250 tons, and a Smeral rolling mill for shaft production. Through its wholly-owned subsidiary Promek Srl (founded 1937, located in Perignano, Pisa province), OMS offers downstream mechanical machining (turning, milling, drilling, tapping, broaching) in steel, cast iron, and aluminium, giving the group a vertically integrated forging-to-finished-part capability. Customers are OEM manufacturers and Tier 1 suppliers in automotive, truck/commercial vehicles, agricultural equipment, earth-moving/construction, motorcycles, and emerging electric vehicle drivetrains, with components spanning synchronizer bodies, gears, bevel pairs, drive shafts, semi-axles, flanges, hubs, and pump bodies in the 0.5-60 kg / 30-450 mm size range.

The technology stack is anchored by in-house 3D virtual simulation of the hot forging process (used to identify critical stress points and reduce material waste before production), a CAD/CAM tooling department that designs and builds all dies and tools for screw and mechanical presses, a metallurgical laboratory with CQI-9 approval, a purpose-built heat treatment plant (built by Gadda, operational since 2019) offering stress relieving, machinability annealing, isothermal, subcritical, and globular treatments, and automatic 100% ultrasonic shaft inspection equipment installed in 2022. Annual forging nameplate capacity is 20,000 tons. The company holds IATF 16949:2016, ISO 9001:2015, TISAX, and CQI-9 certifications required for automotive supplier qualification.

OMS generates revenue primarily through B2B contract manufacturing of forged components sold directly to OEM and Tier 1 customers via long-term supply agreements, supplemented by heat treatment services offered to external regional forging companies using excess capacity. Pricing is quote-based and determined by part specifications, volumes, and processing requirements, with no public pricing. The firm is privately held with share capital of €1,476,800, no public listing, no disclosed outside investors, and no management-team information in the source material.
