IMPIANTI OMS S.p.A.

Since the last issue of PU Focus the inexorable demand for insulation products having improved thermal and fire properties has seen a tremendous growth in the number of plants installed for the continuous production of flexible, metal and rigid board faced composite panels.    
OMS Group has been at the forefront of this highly specialised sector, our design and manufacturing team have literally decades of experience to draw upon and this has enabled us to develop and produce highly personalised technical solutions tailored to meet the most diverse and complex production requirements.
Indeed, based on specific customer requirements, OMS Group has successfully introduced continuous lines for the production of flexible substrate panels for roofing, cavity wall insulation and ducts for air conditioning systems; rigid gypsum, cement or wood product faced panels for residential construction elements, roof panels, thermo-ventilated roof systems etc and metal faced composites for cold store and industrial roof and wall construction applications. The breadth of our experience has involved the use of PUR / PIR foam systems, phenolic resin and also the use of preformed core materials such as EPS and mineral fibre lamellas.   
We believe our technology and quality in this market sector to be second to none and we can proudly list the most important manufactures in Europe and around the world as not only customers but partners with whom we have worked and cooperated to bring their most ambitious projects to fruition. 
Amongst those most important references we can mention with enthusiasm:
