The History & Profile of the Company - 1972 - Present day
Originally formed in 1972 as Omega Racing Components Ltd. The company's activities at this time included, piston manufacture, repairs to racing motorcycle crank shafts, the preparation and tuning of high performance 2-stroke engines and four stroke single cylinder engines for speedway racing. Cylinder liners, both ported and plain were also manufactured.
The swift expansion of piston manufacturing soon overtook our other activities and the decision was made to concentrate on the production of pistons only. Initially only die-cast pistons were produced but, because of our speedway contacts it was decided to produce a forged piston for speedway applications.
Later in 1972 the company name was changed to Omega Pistons Ltd and to this day two of it's original directors are still with the company, they are Bengt Andersson; Company Chairman and Fred Hadley; Managing Director, Fred's son Philip Hadley is also a director and has been with the company since 1982 in full capacity, though from the age of 14 he was actually working in the foundry on Saturday mornings producing piston castings.
| New General Manager In April 2012 Mr Andrew Baker was appointed General Manager of Omega Pistons Ltd. |
