Company Profile

Osadrinks was born in 1992 in Italy in the South of Piedmont, right at the foot of the Alps, close to France.

Initially, the product range was limited to powdered drinks such as hot chocolates and frappes but, after observing how the cocktail scene was booming in the US in the 1990s, the company soon decided to diversify into the cocktail market. It wasn’t long until the bartenders and bar managers of Italy began requesting cocktail ingredients as well as cocktail equipment from Orsadrinks: thus the first range of cocktail mixes branded ODK was born, including the famous “Sweet&Sour” and the first line of fruit purees, Fruity Mixes, was also launched. The success achieved in these early years allows the company to devote itself to the creation of new products in order to enrich its offerings, in response to the growing demand from beverage professionals.

The first decade of the 2000s is characterized by a dedication to Research & Development: starting with only a limited range of products, Orsadrinks expanded its offerings with a range of new products and flavors, aiming to meet – and sometimes anticipate – new market trends. This was the stimulus to go further: in those years Orsadrinks started to build important relationships with key partners and establish itself as a landmark brand within the Italian scene.

In 2009 the company decided to undertake a significant Export activity, initially to European countries and then to more distant countries.From 2015 onwards, Orsadrinks has expanded its distribution network to Asia, in particular to countries in the Middle East and South-East Asia. During the second decade of the 2000s the company undertook an ambitious restructuring process, both at corporate level and in the organizational structure, in order to be able to support increasing expansion on a global scale. Alongside the development of cocktail ingredients, recent years have also seen significant growth in products dedicated to hot drinks and the world of cafeterias, strengthening ODK’s ties to its origins and enabling the company to consolidate its presence even in countries characterized by reduced consumption of alcoholic beverages.Nowadays, Orsadrinks is a trusted partner in the drink industry and a brand of choice in mixology worlds in more than 50 countries all over the world, with over 150 products.

Driven by the will to have full control over the production chain and the selection of raw materials, it was also decided to dedicate significant investments to bring production in-house, in order to pursue a highly technological production process – resulting in innovative, groundbreaking and fully automated facilities.
