The new portal - https://odu-connects.com - is designed to operate as a knowledge hub, providing technical expertise direct to ODU customers.

Design engineers, quality managers, project managers, procurement staff and all enablers will be able to benefit from the ability to get advice at any time, any place, from ODU’s in-house experts.
