ODL invests in door prepping capacity

ODL Europe has taken delivery of its second edge banding machine, further increasing the company’s composite door prepping capacity.

Bryan Bultema, managing director at ODL Europe, said: “This latest investment will support the continued growth for our in-house door prepping service by further increasing our prepped door output and delivering superb product accuracy.”

The Fravol Fast Series 625-23 machine has allowed ODL Europe to efficiently scale up its door prepping capacity in line with demand. According to ODL, it’s a heavy-duty machine, engineered to the highest manufacturing protocols, that delivers a consistent high finish.

The second edge banding machine purchase is part of ODL Europe’s long-term strategic UK plan and continued investment in its offering. Bryan said: “The demand for our prepped composite doors has risen exponentially resulting in this latest investment to ensure we continue to offer a competitive, high-quality product to our customers throughout 2023 and beyond.”

ODL Europe’s in-house door prepping service includes prepping slabs for door locks, letter plates, glass apertures and door hinges with open in and open out options. This service ranges from simple sizing of the doors on the beam saw to a fully prepped door service with or without edge banding.

Bryan said: “Our in-house facility allows a degree of flexibility, and we can offer as much prepping as is needed. Prepping of our market-leading Trisys glazing cassette and Capstone door slab can be carried out together for total product consistency.”

ODL Europe boasts an impressive record of continuous investment in its product development and processes, including expanding its manufacturing space to help drive further efficiencies.
