ODL Europe has announced the opening of a new in-house paint facility as part of its continued investment strategy. The dedicated paint plant will now handle all composite door painting in-house, ensuring the highest levels of quality, consistency and colour accuracy across the company’s GRP door range.
Suzanne Nicholl, Head of Sales and Marketing at ODL Europe, said: “This latest investment reflects our commitment to delivering exceptional product quality and choice for our customers. By bringing painting in-house, we have complete control over every stage of the process, ensuring every door that leaves our factory meets our exacting standards.”
The new facility uses a hard-wearing polyurethane paint system, similar to that used in the yacht industry, to provide a superior finish that combines durability with long-lasting visual appeal. Each painted door has a 10-year guarantee against fade, loss of gloss and adhesion, while stained doors carry a 5-year warranty, giving customers lasting confidence in the product’s finish.
Doors are available in any RAL colour, as well as a wide selection of pre-finished colour options and TrueGrain wood-effect finishes. The range includes popular standard colours including White, Green, Red, Blue, Black and Anthracite Grey, along with foil-matched finishes, woodgrain colours and premium shades including Duck Egg and Bastille Blue.
Suzanne added: “This new paint facility gives us complete flexibility to meet the growing demand for bespoke and premium colour door options. It means our customers can offer more choice, faster turnaround times and the same high level of quality ODL Europe is known for.”
She continued: “Paint is an essential part of our fully prepped process, and we know our customers appreciate the quality of our painted products. By increasing the efficiency of our paint offer, we can meet customer demands more effectively and deliver a complete prepped, painted and glazed solution from a single source.”
Crucially, this investment also means that the colour warranty on ODL Europe’s doors will now come directly from the company rather than through a third party. This strengthens the company’s commitment to accountability, quality assurance and customer confidence.
This latest development follows a series of significant investments across ODL Europe’s operations as part of its strategic growth strategy. The new paint facility follows the company’s recent six-figure investment to double the footprint of its in-house door prep facility, further enhancing its ability to meet growing customer demand with quality, precision and efficiency.
Suzanne concluded: “At ODL Europe, our strategy is built on continuous improvement and long-term partnership. Every investment we make is focused on supporting our customers with reliable quality, consistency and innovation and our new paint facility is another important step in that journey.”
