O.D.L. srl

O.D.L. srl is an Italian company founded in 1978 in Lierna, in the Province of Lecco, on the Lake of Como.

It develops, designs, manufactures and markets the most specific components for beer, wine, soft drinks and water dispensers.

O.D.L. employs about 40 people; this figure increases in spring and summer, when the orders from its customers tend to concentrate.

O.D.L. has its administrative offices in Milan; all the other departments are in the premises of Lierna.
The link-up between the two bases is simultaneous thanks to a modem connection with a single AS400 IBM data-processing centre.

In the factory of Lierna there are departments of mechanical works with lathes and automatic numeric-control lathes, machining centres, transfer, TIG welding, assembly and control; there are also sales, production programming, production management, quality control and technical offices.

In the premises of Lierna, special attention is given to the manufacture of components made of stainless steel for fittings machined with automatic numeric-control lathes, numeric-control lathes, TIG welding machines and automatic cutting systems.
Some components are manufactured in other factories following the designs and specifications of O.D.L.

In December 1995, after a research of about one year, O.D.L. was granted ISO 9001 quality system certificate by RINA certification company. The desire to gain complete qualification, to comply with the new developments of security schemes and laws regarding waste disposal, encouraged the management of O.D.L. to work at ISO 14001 environmental certification, which was granted in July 1999 with the renewal of the quality system certification.

All O.D.L. products are devised and developed in the factory of Lierna and many are protected by patents.

O.D.L. main products are:

• Pressure reducing valves for CO₂, nitrogen and mixed gases according to European laws with ISPESL and SK approval.

• Dispense heads for the connection of the kegs to the plants.
• Carbonators for the production of soda to insert into post-mix devices which produce soft drinks with syrup and mix it with soda directly at the outlet.

• Electric taps for beer, wine and soft drinks with compensators.
• A range of accessories to complete these components.
