Editing Land Systems OMC (section)

==Ownership==

===Reunert===
OMC's existence as an independent company was short-lived however, and early into its life it was taken over by Reunert, which subsequently turned it into a division called '''Reumech OMC'''. It was under this name that OMC saw its most prolific level of vehicle development, as combat operations during the [[South African Border War|Angolan Bush War]] necessitated a greater need for vehicle systems capable of being integrated with the very swift, flexible, operational style of the [[South African Defence Force]]. In 1997, Reunert inherited '''TFM Industries''' and its respective designs.

Vehicles manufactured by the company during this period include the [[Rooikat]] and [[Eland Mk7|Eland]] [[Armored car (military)|armoured cars]] and the 6x6 chassis used by the [[G6 howitzer]], in addition to South Africa's highly successful [[Okapi MPV|Okapi]], [[Mamba APC|Mamba]], and [[Casspir]] [[MRAP]] [[armoured personnel carrier]]s.

===Vickers===
Following South Africa's re admittance to the international arena following democratic elections in 1994, a number of foreign defence industry companies expressed significant interest in purchasing the company. Eventually it was [[United Kingdom|Britain]]'s [[Vickers plc]] that won, purchasing the company and renaming it '''Vickers OMC'''.

===Alvis===
This continued until [[Alvis plc|Alvis]], also of Britain, purchased Vickers' defence division, including OMC. Continuing with tradition, Alvis renamed the company to '''Alvis OMC'''.

===BAE Systems===
In 2004, BAE Systems purchased the military vehicle division of Alvis. OMC then became part of BAE Systems' Land Systems, again undergoing a name change to '''Land Systems OMC''' and later to BAE Systems Land Systems South Africa.

===Denel SOC LTD===
In April 2015, state-owned defence conglomerate [[Denel]] completed the acquisition of Land Systems South Africa (LSSA) from [[BAE Systems]] and DGD Technologies. Denel took over BAE's 75% stake for R641 million ($53 million). Full ownership cost Denel R855 million as the purchase included  DGD Technologies' 25% share.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.defenceweb.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=38966:denel-finishes-acquisition-of-bae-systems-land-systems-south-africa&catid=7:Industry&Itemid=116 |title=Denel finishes acquisition of BAE Systems Land Systems South Africa |publisher=defenceWeb |date=2015-04-29 |accessdate=2015-05-14}}</ref>
