Company profile
The Company has got its registered office in Brzezinka and was founded in the place of a former Stock Company: Zjednoczone Fabryki Maszyn i Samochodów „Oświęcim” [United Machines and Cars Factories “Oświęcim”] which, in a prewar Poland, manufactured very popular cars called “Oświęcim- Praga”. There were also manufactured motor tracks and cars among which we can distinguish the following models: Piccolo, Alfa, Mignon and Grand.
Vehicles were advertised by the company’s famous customers, including Jan Kiepura and Wojciech Kossak, who in autumn of 1933, in a letter to his wife, wrote:
“… I sold a Cadillac and bought an Oświęcim-Praga on unbelievable conditions; eight cylinders, sparkling new, with all the gadgets.”
Prewar times meant new challenges. Dynamic development of mining industry was responsible for the development of mining machines industry in Poland. It was then when Factory of Spare Parts and Mining Machines OMAG was founded. It was the first spare part manufacturer which was later also known as lifting device and small diametrical drill rigs manufacturer. Transformation of the economy and situation in mining industry in the 90’s were the reason why in 1993 the company renamed itself and changed its form and structure. Machine and Device Factory “OMAG” defined its main priorities among which new markets expansion became one of the most important. Nowadays, except for products manufactured for mining industry needs, which are the leading part of business activity, OMAG is also a car spare parts manufacturer.

Dotations
Project title: “Multi-purpose, unmanned terrain platform“.
The project is implemented under the European Funds for Małopolska 2021-2027 program,
Priority 1. European funds for research and development and entrepreneurship.
Action 1.1 Research and development projects of enterprises, project type B. Comprehensive projects including R&D work with implementation.
Actions implemented as part of the project:
The aim of Fabryka Maszyn i Urządzeń “OMAG” Sp z o.o. is to develop and implement into production its own product innovation in the form of a multi-purpose, unmanned terrain platform (UGV) adapted to work in various terrain conditions.
Two main tasks will be implemented as part of the project:
- Development of assumptions for the construction of a prototype platform and guidelines for the assembly of a multi-purpose, unmanned terrain platform.
- Development of a composition of varnishes with defined colors for covering surfaces made of EPP, together with technological guidelines for the method of applying varnishes to EPP material.
As a result of the project, a patent application will be submitted for a solution of a semi-autonomous wheeled platform, adapted to various terrain conditions and applications, enabling the addition of selected components.
In order to implement the assumed tasks in the project, additional equipment for the machine park will be purchased in the form of a multi-task CNC machine, a coordinate measuring machine, a 3D printer and a mobile crane.
Target groups:
As a result of the project, Fabryka Maszyn i Urządzeń OMAG sp. z o.o. intends to offer a new product in the form of a multi-task, unmanned terrain platform (UVG) for all terrain applications. The target group for the platform developed as part of the project will be State Institutions, Emergency Services, Military Institutions and multi-hectare farms.
The main objective of the project is to introduce a new, previously unproduced product into the company’s operations, i.e. an innovative solution for an unmanned, multi-purpose off-road platform adapted to various terrain conditions with the option of alternative fuel cells.
