OPmobility is a French automotive supplier.[1][3] OPmobility operated under the name Plastic Omnium until March 27, 2024.[4]
History
[edit]Plastic Omnium was founded by Pierre Burelle in 1946. It began making plastic steering columns for Renault, but soon extended its supply contracts to other carmakers in France and abroad.[5] In 1995, it made a tender offer for its most important rival in the French industry, Reydel, and then acquired it from its major stakeholder Compagnie Financière de Turenne.[6][7] According to their website, Plastic Omnium currently has 131 plants and is present in 26 countries.[8]
Divisions

Two automotive divisions, Auto Exterior Division and Auto Inergy Division (previously: Inergy Automotive Systems). The first provides external plastic elements (thermoplastic and composite) for cars, like bumpers and energy absorption systems, fender and front-end modules. The second provides plastic fuel tank systems and SCR tank systems.[1][3] In 2011, Inergy purchased the Ford Motor Company's fuel tank manufacturer in United States, Visteon, and became its sixth largest world provider.[9] The company has plans to introduce more composite materials to reduce the weight of their pieces and gain market advantage.[10]
Plastic Omnium Environment (now called Sulo)
[edit]This centers on waste containerization, urban and road signage and urban planning. Its products include wheeled bins; underground, semi-underground, and aboveground containers; voluntary waste drop-off receptacles and data management systems; equipment for community-use area; urban signage solutions[buzzword]; and road signage solutions[buzzword], as well as sorted waste services. Plastic Omnium Systemes Urbains[1][3] in 2012 won its first major contract for its line of sustainable products, when Rio de Janeiro requested the provision of wheeled rubbish bins made with plant-based polyethylene derived from sugar cane.[11] The entity was sold to investors in 2018 and is now called Sulo.
Company's share structure
[edit]According to Plastic Omnium, at the end of 2011 55.1 percent of it was owned by the parent company, Burelle, 1.6 by the employees, 8.7 was Treasury stock and a 34.6 was for public trade.[12]
