Inventions
is a wholly owned division of Omega Holdings Limited,
a company registered in England and Wales in 1983.
- In the first years of trading,
the business was primarily associated with the plastics industry
– having subsidiary companies manufacturing injection mouldings,
injection moulding tools, press tools and special purpose equipment.
- One of the company's early projects
was the design and manufacture of a machine for the high speed welding
of plastic hemispheres to form balls for roll on deodorant.
- In the early years
an inventor approached the company to assist with the development
of a new design of automotive sun roof then known as a top sliding roof.
This project was very successful and formed the embryo from which "Inventions"
grew.
- Over the rest of the eighties
there was a gradual move from the plastics business towards the
inventions field until in 1991 "Inventions" was the only trading
division of Omega Holdings Limited.
- The early years of Inventions were not easy
- not least because of the recession - but steady progress
was made and the business grew.
- The company has developed as a "virtual
company" with
a small central team directing a number of specialists operating from
their own base. The compact central
team of five employees boasts many years experience in license
negotiation and project management, and directs a host of expert associates
in areas such as product development, design, graphic art, copy writing,
prototype manufacture, intellectual property, sales, marketing and licensing.
- A variety of products
has now been successfully sold by Inventions on behalf of private
inventors. These range from a simple plastic clip to stop lorry wheel
nuts from loosening to a very sophisticated digital security system
which is now part of the international standard for use on facsimile.
