"In flamma ignis de innovatione."

- Motto (Spark the flame of innovation)

Ossus & van Hossen (おうすす ばん ふうせん, Oususu & Ban Huusen, often abbreviated as OvH) is an esteemed multi-national conglomerate headquartered in the Kingdom of Fiore that spans the surrounding continent. It is noted for its' advances in magical technology, spearheading the creation of unrivaled airships and state of the art lacrima based technology—the latter still being in the stages of further development. OvH is a leader in trade, finance, mining, and agricultural corporate spheres—providing an array of services to its' varied clientele. Often referred to as the Corporate Giant of the Magic World (法人巨漢魔法世界, Mahō Sekai no Hōjin Kyokan), Ossus & van Hossen can trace its' origins back over two hundred years to a pair of merchants bent on creating something that would help people and turn the world upside down. Over the course of some two centuries, what started as a shipping company off the western coast of their homeland turn into a corporate tornado that pulled in numerous subsidiaries to create an entity ahead of its' time. Despite the company's vast holdings, each leader has managed to keep their ambition in check and champion employees over profits.

The prime aim of Ossus & van Hossen's operations, after achieving prominence, has long been technological advancement; to harmonize magic and technology together and reach new heights. From household tools to well crafted weaponry, their scientists have stayed ahead of the game—due in part to the excessive funding given to the various research and development labs. OvH's clientele is both numerous and noteworthy, the company's banking group handles the finances of not just the House of Vista, but also the House of Xava and Aria Family. The company continues to flourish as a testament to multi-faceted success, yet, they are not without blemish.
