Officine Stampaggi Industriali

The Officine Stampaggi Industriali (OSI) was a coachbuilding company founded in 1960 in Turin by former president of Ghia Luigi Segre and Arrigo Olivetti (from Fergat company).^[1]

The short lived company made some custom built cars based on Alfa Romeo, Fiat and Ford models. Probably its best known model outside Italy was the Ford 20M TS Coupé based on the German Ford Taunus 20M. The car was designed by Sergio Sartorelli, better known as the designer of the Type 3 based Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Type 34. Approximately 2,200 of the Ford 20M based coupés were produced, of which approximately 200 were thought to have survived through till 2010.^{[citation needed]}

The company also built the Ford Anglia Torino designed by Giovanni Michelotti: 10,007 examples of this model were sold in Italy.^[2]

OSI car production ended at the end of 1968, but the company remained active as a producer of steel pressings and industrial equipment.^[3]
