OMP Racing was founded in 1973 in Genoa, Italy, born from a vision to create safer, lighter, and more technically advanced safety gear for drivers competing at the highest levels of motorsport. What started with a small selection of roll-cages/accessories quickly evolved into a full-scale racewear and safety-equipment manufacturer, trusted across Formula One, endurance racing, rally, karting, and touring car disciplines.

At the core of OMP’s identity is relentless innovation guided by decades of real-world competition. Their philosophy blends Italian design heritage with an engineering-driven approach to safety, every suit, seat, harness, and fireproof component is developed through extensive testing, certification, and feedback from elite drivers and teams. Partnerships with leading series and factory programs have continually shaped OMP’s evolution, ensuring new materials, ergonomic tailoring, and thermal-management solutions stay ahead of racing demands.

With a fully integrated production system, OMP maintains rigorous control over safety standards, craftsmanship, and research. Their R&D division works closely with advanced laboratories and governing bodies, helping develop the FIA 8856-2018 standard and pushing boundaries in fireproof technology, driver comfort, and impact protection.

Today, OMP stands as one of motorsport’s most influential and widely recognized safety brands. Whether in the cockpit of a Le Mans prototype, the grid of a GT championship, or the stages of rally competition, OMP equipment represents a fusion of heritage, innovation, and uncompromising dedication to driver safety and performance.
