French Industrial Company OMIA Launches Circular Economy Initiative OMIA ORIGIN

French industrial leader OMIA has launched OMIA ORIGIN, a pioneering circular economy program aimed at sustainable management of paint booths in the surface treatment industry. OMIA, certified Origine France Garantie and based in L’Isle d’Espagnac with 210 employees, has installed over 25,000 paint booths since 1968. This new initiative focuses on reconditioning and reselling used paint booths with manufacturer’s warranties, ensuring extended lifecycle and reliability.

OMIA ORIGIN features a unique contractual buyback guarantee that allows customers purchasing new booths to have a predetermined resale value for their old units. OMIA then refurbishes these units before reintroducing them to the market. This approach integrates engineering expertise, economic responsibility, and customer service, benefiting both original buyers and second-hand customers by providing tested, warrantied products.

The company produces nearly 600 new booths annually and emphasizes innovation, environmental responsibility, customer focus, and sustainable performance. OMIA ORIGIN sets a new industrial standard in France’s surface treatment sector by promoting circular economy principles, supporting local manufacturing, and ensuring product longevity.

By redefining its responsibility to cover the full lifecycle of its equipment, OMIA positions itself as a responsible industrial player committed to sustainability and customer satisfaction. This initiative also simplifies project management for users upgrading their equipment and fosters a virtuous circular model for stakeholders in the sector.
