Omega PLC was founded in 1992 by Bob Murray, Francis Galvin & Newton Winfield. The first phase of development was completed in the summer of 1996 and opened by HRH Princess Margaret, creating a manufacturing office and showroom complex covering over 115,000 sq ft.

In 1996 Sheraton kitchens launched and because of its success, Omega PLC decided to focus solely on the manufacture and distribution of branded kitchens. This strategy principally focused on the expansion of the successful Sheraton kitchen brand. Sheraton was the first kitchen brand to be produced from the site and with its success, Omega PLC was listed as the 4^th fasted growing manufacturing company in the UK Sunday Times in 2000. Launching in 2001, Omega Kitchens was the second brand to be produced on-site.

During 2002, Omega embarked on the second phase of its development programme. This involved the expansion of Omega's factory production facilities to meet the increasing demand for Sheraton kitchens, allowing Omega to expand further into the larger ready-to-assemble kitchen market with the launch of two brands, Sheraton Kitchens and Chippendale Kitchens. Omega invested a total of £2.8 million during this phase of development.

On 13 April 2004, Omega PLC formerly known as Omega International Group PLC was admitted to the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange.

In 2006, Omega commenced construction on Phase III of the site development which increased the factory complex to 315,000 sq ft, providing significant future manufacturing resources. An additional, 5,500 sq ft of previously built office space was fitted out to accommodate the staff that was needed to service growth plans.

In 2007, we purchased additional land adjacent to the existing manufacturing facility which provided an option for an additional 95,000 sq ft of factory space and increased the total site acre to 21 acres.

Charles Rennie Mackintosh was launched in 2008, a new rigid brand consisting of true in-frame kitchens and ultra-modern designs aimed at the mid-upper end of the market.

In December 2008, the independent directors formed a management buyout of Omega International Group PLC and acquired the entire share capital of the Group. The offer became unconditional in January 2009 and the company was subsequently de-listed from the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange. The interests of the employees and other stakeholders were best served with the company back in private ownership, maintaining its position as a leading independent designer, manufacturer and marketer of quality kitchen furniture.

Following extensive market research, a trend in painted kitchens was identified in 2011 and, as a result, Omega invested over £1m to install a bespoke paint line in 2012, which gave the company the ability to spray doors and accessories in a range of fashionable colours. Since its implementation, Omega now offers 19 door styles that can be painted in a choice of 22 colours.

2014 was a big year for Omega, with a major re-branding project and over £3m invested in new machinery. As a proud British manufacturer, with brand names such as Sheraton, Mackintosh and Chippendale renowned the world over for being great British furniture designers, ‘The Very British Collection’ was created. Added to this collection was English Rose Kitchens, formerly known as Omega Kitchens. The brand logos received new designs and new identities, and new, supporting, marketing material was created, along with a complete re-design of all websites.

Investment in new machinery during 2014 increased Omega’s flexibility to respond to ever-changing trends and designs, ensuring the continuation to produce high-quality kitchen cabinets for the independent sector.

In 2017 Omega made a £10m+ strategic investment in new, state-of-the-art machinery with world-leading supplier Homag, completely overhauling the existing manufacturing machinery and installing edgebanders, saws, drills, presses and CNC routing machines.

Further market research led to the launch of two new kitchen door styles - Savoy for Rigid brands and Concept for ready-to-assemble brands.

In 2018 Phase IV expansion commenced with the construction of a new, £7.5m,12m high, 80,000 sq ft warehousing facility, taking the total size of the Omega estate over 400,000 sq ft.By early 2019 the new warehouse and office complex were officially opened by Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Edinburgh, GCVO, taking the factory footprint to 405,000 sq ft.

2019 continued to be an exciting year and Omega Academy, an educational facility for customers and colleagues, was opened by Dame Prue Leith, DBE. Omega’s custom-built, state-of-the-art training and development facility ensures all sales staff and designers are fully conversant with Omega’s product and service offers.

In 2020 Omega continued the evolution of painted colour pallets and door styles, boasting the biggest collection to date. The extensive collection consists of 19 door styles, 22 painted colours, allowing customers 418 ways to mix and match, creating truly bespoke kitchens.

As a proud British manufacturer, in 2020 Omega extended the Exceptional British Kitchen guarantee to 20 years, providing customers with peace of mind when purchasing a kitchen from Omega.

The chef and host of the Great British Bake-Off Dame Prue Leith, DBE was appointed as the new ambassador for Omega Kitchens. As a well-known lover of colour, Prue joined Omega to highlight the huge colour range.

In 2021 Omega made it its mission to minimise the ecological and environmental impact of business activities and set ongoing sustainability goals:
-FSC registered
-0% waste to landfill
-Energy created from burning waste
-35% recycled wood used in products
-Timber process waste and re-used or recycles

The year 2021 marked Omega's 25th year of providing Exceptional British Kitchens. Additionally, Omega celebrated 25 years of service to seven of its current employees. The celebration and presentation took place at Omega's Head Office in Thorne Doncaster, within its showroom. The celebration was hosted by Chairman, Sir Bob Murray and Life President, Newton Winfield, with staff being presented with a certificate, a bottle of champagne and gifts followed by a celebratory afternoon.

In early 2022 Omega launched a brand-new paint collection, bringing an element of nature's palette into homes, providing endless inspiration. The popularity of natural colours and textures led Omega to introduce 4 new paint colours, Spitfire Blue, Cove Blue, Arctic and Botanical Green, with a focus on bringing the outside in.

Along with the newly launched paint collection, Omega took a holistic approach to sustainable design and introduced a new 100% recycled door collection, emphasizing the importance of environmental awareness and support. The new 100% recycled doors are made using 100% post-consumer wood waste, ensuring that no trees were cut down for their production.

In 2023 we proudly launched our newest brand, Novus. NOVUS represents Omega's commitment to delivering innovative solutions that meet our Retail and Lead Developers needs and exceed their expectations. We have poured our passion and expertise into creating a product that we are truly proud of.
