Simoni's creativity led to the creation of pens that were unique in their day, and are still valid writing implements actively sought after by dedicated collectors.
The "Doctor's pen" with its tiny built-in clinical thermometer, the twelve faceted Arte Italiana range, the fountain pen with two alternative, selectable nibs, and a range of fountain pens with transparent barrels to enhance their natural shining beauty are just some of the most spectacular and successful examples of the founder's creativity.
In 2000 the French company, LVMH acquired OMAS. It was the only writing instrument company in its suite of companies. In October 2007 the Xinyu Hengdeli Group of Hong Kong purchased 90% equity stake in OMAS. Xinyu has a strategic partnership with LVMH and plans to use OMAS for its expansion of luxury goods in the Asia market.
