A name that reflects our roots.

OSMI, Olfactory Systems Milano-Imola, was born from the intersection of scientific research and industrial innovation. The name reflects our specialisation in olfactory technologies and our connection to Milan and Imola, the two places where the project took shape.

At the same time, it recalls the Greek word osmē (“smell” or “odour”), a concept that lies at the core of our activity.
