Ladies and Gentlemen:

         Reference is made to the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the
"Registration Statement") to be filed by OM Group, Inc. (the "Company") and by
OMG Americas, Inc., OMG Fidelity, Inc., OMG Jett, Inc., SCM Metal Products,
Inc., OM Holdings, Inc., OMG KG Holdings, Inc., OMG Michigan, Inc., and dmc2
Electronic Components Corporation (collectively, the "Subsidiary Guarantors")
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), in
connection with the Company's offer to exchange up to $400,000,000 aggregate
principal amount of new 9 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 (the "Exchange
Notes") for an equal principal amount of its outstanding 9 1/4% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2011 (the "Original Notes"), together with the related
guarantee by the Subsidiary Guarantors of the Exchange Notes. The Original Notes
were issued, and the Exchanges Notes are issuable, pursuant to an Indenture,
dated as of December 12, 2001, among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and
the Bank of New York, as Trustee (the "Indenture"). We have examined the
Indenture, the Original Notes, the form of the Exchange Notes and such other
documents and matters of law as we have deemed necessary for the purposes of
this opinion.

         Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

         1. The Exchange Notes, when executed by the Company and authenticated
by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, and when
issued in exchange for Original Notes as contemplated in the Registration
Statement, will constitute legally valid and binding obligations




of the Company and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture, subject to
bankruptcy,  insolvency,  fraudulent  transfer,  moratorium,  reorganization  or
similar laws of general  applicability  affecting the  enforcement of creditors'
rights and to general  principles of equity (whether  considered in a proceeding
at law or in equity).

         2. The guarantees by the Subsidiary Guarantors of the Exchange Notes,
when executed by the Subsidiary Guarantors in accordance with the provisions of
the Indenture and when issued as contemplated in the Registration Statement,
will constitute legally valid and binding obligations of the Subsidiary
Guarantors and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture, subject to
bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, moratorium, reorganization or
similar laws of general applicability affecting the enforcement of creditors'
rights and to general principles of equity (whether considered in a proceeding
at law or in equity).

         We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm under the caption "Legal
Matters" in the prospectus contained in the Registration Statement. In giving
such consent, we do not admit we come within the category of persons whose
consent is required by the Securities Act or the rules under that Act.


                             Respectfully submitted,


                             /s/ Squire, Sanders & Dempsey L.L.P.
