About Omega

About

OMEGA brushes have been manufactured in Italy since 1946. These beautifully crafted brushes have been developed to suit a wide range of users from the decorative arts to fine art. OMEGA specialise in big brush sizes which lend themselves for use on large expressive works. The increasing popularity of large acrylic paintings and street art pieces has helped OMEGA to spread their brand globally and they are now widely recognised as a provider of essential artists tools.

The History

1931
OMEGA Founded

The company was founded in 1931, when the previous property, which had started before the Second world War, was taken over. At that time the main business concerned the manufacturing of bristle but was progressively replaced by the production of shaving and painting brushes. 

1980's
Painting Rollers

In the 80's, the production of painting rollers was introduced which became an important part of the OMEGA range.

Leader in the Field
Market Position

Over the years, the activity has always remained under the family management, reaching an important position in the market of professional painting brushes and wet shaving products, so becoming the leader in the field. 

1964
