Officine Stampaggi Industriali, known as OSI, was a coachbuilding company founded in 1960 in Turin by the former Ghia president Luigi Segre and Arrigo Olivetti from the component maker Fergat. It was meant to be an independent design branch of Ghia and built custom cars on Alfa Romeo, Fiat and Ford models, including the 1961 Innocenti 950 Spider bodyshell, the OSI 20M TS coupe on the German Ford Taunus and the Ford Anglia Torino designed by Giovanni Michelotti. The 600-employee works could build about 50 cars a day. After Segre died in 1963 contracts dried up, 2,000 workers were laid off in 1966, car production ended in December 1967 and its design office was merged into Fiat in May 1968. The company stayed active making steel pressings and industrial equipment.
