Road Name History: OMV (formerly abbreviation for "Österreichische Mineralölverwaltung" or ÖMV (English: Austrian Mineral Oil Administration)) is an international, integrated oil and gas company, headquartered in Vienna. It is active in the Upstream and Downstream businesses. OMV defines its business reason as follows: OMV is producing and marketing oil & gas, innovative energy and high-end petrochemical solutions – in a responsible way. With group sales of EUR 19 bn, a global workforce of 22,500 employees in 2016 OMV is one of the largest listed industrial companies in Austria.

The history of OMV began on July 3, 1956, when the company then known as “Österreichische Mineralölverwaltungs Aktiengesellschaft” was officially entered into the commercial register. Consequently, the Soviet Mineral Oil Administration (Sowjetische Mineralölverwaltung, SMV), a corporation formed during the Soviet zone of occupation in post-war Austria became “Österreichische Mineralölverwaltungs Aktiengesellschaft”.

From Wikipedia

Brand/Importer Information: Brawa Artur Braun Modellspielwarenfabrik GmbH & Co. was founded in 1948 by Artur Braun in Waiblingen, Germany, to distribute model trains from other toy makers; eventually they began to manufacture their own lighting accessories such as streetlights and signals. In 1963 they acquired the complete line of motorized trolleybus and ski lift models from Eheim. They also began to expand their own line to include scenery items, and by 1993 they'd added locomotives and rolling stock to their product range. This medium-sized business is today jointly managed by the second and third generations of the Braun family: Günter Braun, son of the founder, and his daughter Katrin Braun are the company's managing partners.
Brawa range covers HO, O and N scales. The N scale range is focused on European rolling-stock, German locomotives and accessories like signals, streetlights, clocks and telephone booths.
