On May 22, 2026, ODL, Inc., located in Zeeland, Michigan, proudly announced its selection as a 2026 U.S. Best Managed Company. This recognition is presented to exceptional private companies in the United States for their outstanding performance in areas including strategy, execution, corporate culture, and financial results. The program is sponsored by both Deloitte Private and The Wall Street Journal.

The esteemed title is a testament to ODL’s commitment to operational excellence and a long-term vision, attributes that have propelled the company into a global community comprising over 1,700 companies from 46 countries recognized for similar achievements.

“We are incredibly honored to receive this award,” stated David Klein, President and CEO of ODL, Inc. “It highlights not just what we build at ODL, but how we operate as a team and our dedication to enhancing lives for our customers and partners.”

For more than 80 years, ODL has been at the forefront of designing and manufacturing high-performance building products, including entry doors, doorglass, and blinds integrated within glass systems. The company emphasizes not only outstanding products but also superior customer experiences throughout the entire lifecycle of its offerings. This philosophy of 'Building Value into Building Products®' has been integral to ODL's operations, combining disciplined execution with innovation and solid partnerships.

As a privately held company, ODL has a proactive approach to investing in innovation and enhancing its manufacturing capabilities, which strengthens its offerings across North America and beyond. The company’s leadership in innovation was recently acknowledged at the 2026 International Builders' Show, where its hurricane-rated fiberglass entry door was recognized as a Best Product Finalist, underscoring its commitment to high performance in challenging environments.

The selection process for the U.S. Best Managed Company designation involves rigorous assessment by an independent panel of judges who evaluate applicants across four key aspects: strategy, execution, corporate culture, and governance/financial performance.
