What Odemar metal solutions does

Odemar metal solutions is a Dutch contract manufacturer and custom machine builder headquartered in Denekamp, Netherlands, founded in 1958 and operated as a family-owned business under Tom Hogeling since 2005. The company operates within the Kinkelder Metal Group (formed 2018) alongside sister company Kinkelder Metal Solutions in Zevenaar, and employs 11-50 staff across precision machining, custom machine building, module assembly, and own-brand product manufacturing. Its core services span 5-axis CNC milling, CNC turning, robot welding, sheet metal processing (via Kinkelder), engineering, and warehousing, with a separate assembly hall in Denekamp dedicated to contamination-free final assembly. The company is ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified (since 1999) and operates a conditioned metrology room with Faro measuring arm for micron-level quality control.

Odemar generates revenue through three primary streams: (1) project-based custom machine and module building for B2B clients in food, concrete, and industrial sectors (e.g., Aviko potato processing parts, Aircrete 6-meter heavy frames, TwinTech waterjet assemblies); (2) precision component supply (toelevering) including single-piece to large-series CNC milling, turning, and robot welding, with materials ranging from stainless steel to specialty alloys; and (3) own-brand proprietary products including the Steady anti-theft lock series (outboard motors, caravans, e-bikes), the Jadopack foil packaging machine (26 packages/minute), the Jadoslicer cheese slicer (40 slices/minute), and the Hektor telescopic vacuum gripper. Pricing is entirely quote-based, though the company offers a unique warehousing concept with annual-volume fixed pricing to hedge against material price volatility.

The go-to-market motion is sales-led, with dedicated account managers (Jan Pieter Minkjan, Erik van Bel), a sales engineer (Luc Vlaskamp), and a project manager (Maarten Leerkes) engaging enterprise and mid-market customers from design phase through installation. Distribution combines direct field sales with an online portal (via Kinkelder) for sheet material orders and Steady locks sold through Dutch watersport retailers and online webshops. A 2023 industrialization program with TS Machining tripled productive machine hours from under 14 to over 40 per week, enabling 24/7 unmanned production through BMO robot cells. The company is currently expanding the workforce (CNC operators, verspaningstechnoloog, BBL trainees) and has rebranded to Odemar metal solutions in 2025 under the new Kinkelder Metal Group umbrella.
