Company History
Moto Union-OMV denotes a period when Italian dealers and small manufacturers collaborated to offer light motorcycles adapted to local needs—gearing for hills, lighting for regulations, and durable finishes for coastal climates. Engines came from established suppliers; frames and tins were often locally fabricated. The result was a patchwork of regionally beloved machines that were easy to service and affordable to insure. While few models reached international fame, the ecosystem kept workshops humming and riders mobile. Historically, Union-OMV captures Italy’s distributed craft economy: a network of small firms turning common parts into distinct, place-specific transport that felt personal because it was assembled by neighbors.
