Research and development
Innovation is a key pillar of Onduline's strategy, with the company's growth driven largely by the patents it develops.

From design to production, all of our products and manufacturing processes are developed 100% internally by OFITECH, our R&D centre. Using cutting-edge technology in its labs, OFITECH has developed wide-ranging expertise, increasing its workforce to address new customer and market demands in innovation, aesthetic, product performance and sustainability.

As a global company, Onduline adapts all its solutions to respect local requirements and meet cultural expectations. We also provide strong technical support to answer the needs of our customers and the specifications of their projects.
At Onduline, innovation also means developing accelerated ageing tests for our products and testing capacities in real conditions, as well as improving our manufacturing processes to deliver best-in-class quality.
We also regularly work with third-party experts to conduct insightful and unbiased studies. These initiatives allow us to create solutions that truly deliver what our customers are looking for.
