What ODS Object Design does

ODS Object Design is a German full-service retail design and shopfitting provider, founded in 1982 and headquartered in Lübbecke, North Rhine-Westphalia. The company designs, manufactures, and globally installs retail store concepts, modular shop-in-shop systems, digital signage integrations, and custom product staging displays for premium watch, jewelry, and fashion brands. All production is performed in-house in Germany (carpentry, joinery, drywall construction, prototyping) and exported under a "100% Made in Germany" positioning to more than 70 countries, with worldwide logistics handled in partnership with DACHSER. Its service offering spans consulting, analysis, planning, design, construction, logistics, on-site assembly, and quality inspection.

The customer portfolio comprises enterprise brands such as Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, Lacoste, BOSS, Coach, CASIO Europe, Thomas Sabo, Seiko, Ice Watch, Movado, Morellato, Bernd Wolf, and Hülsta, alongside regional jewelers including Carl Engelkemper (CEM), Juwelier Winnebeck, Weber Schmuck, and Victoria Magdalena. The company monetizes through custom B2B project contracts covering design and manufacturing services, with no public pricing and a consultation-led sales motion. Following insolvency proceedings involving the predecessor ODS Object Design GmbH & Co. KG, PACT Group (PACT Technologies Germany GmbH) acquired the brand and operating assets without universal legal succession, and ODS now operates as a brand within the PACT Group portfolio under managing directors Matthias Fritz and Florian Danner.
