Plastic Omnium was founded by Pierre Burelle in 1946. It began making plastic steering columns for Renault, but soon extended its supply contracts to other carmakers in France and abroad. [5] In 1995, it made a tender offer for its most important rival in the French industry, Reydel, and then acquired it from its major stakeholder Compagnie Financière de Turenne. [6] [7] According to their website, Plastic Omnium currently has 131 plants and is present in 26 countries. [8]

The first provides external plastic elements ( thermoplastic and composite) for cars, like bumpers and energy absorption systems, fender and front-end modules. The second provides plastic fuel tank systems and SCR tank systems. [1] [3] In 2011, Inergy purchased the Ford Motor Company's fuel tank manufacturer in United States, Visteon, and became its sixth largest world provider. [9] The company has plans to introduce more composite materials to reduce the weight of their pieces and gain market advantage. [10]
