OLI - Sistemas Sanitários, S.A

With excellent results in terms of operational efficiency, OLI wins the Kaizen Prize, in the "Excellence in Productivity" category in 2012.

Creation of OLI's first industrial unit outside Portugal.

As sales continue to grow in Russia, and in order to respond to market needs faster, the first OLI industrial unit outside Portugal was opened in Russia. This cut down on transit time to Russia and provided OLI with an opportunity to produce market specific products in loco. Production at OLI Russia began in 2016.

In 2012 OLI inaugurated a showroom and a training center at their headquarters in Aveiro. Visit our showroom to see our wide range of products and the latest novelties. Our Training Centre allows OLI to train and showcase first-hand how to install OLI products.

Saving water in our everyday lives is now, more than ever, crucially important. In order to help people decrease their water consumption, and in turn decrease their water bill, OLI developed the Azor Plus inlet valve, a water-saving solution that equips the latest models of OLI cisterns. The Azor Plus inlet valve can save up to 9 liters of water per day. The decreased consumption of water is due to the delayed refilling of water in the cistern, therefore avoiding water waste during flushing. Thus, water begins to fill the cistern only after the flush valve is closed and all water flushed is efficiently used for cleaning the toilet.

In order to make the bathroom more accessible for people with reduced mobility, OLI launched a concealed cistern called Easy Move. Easy Move is the complete package since it offers a solution that is both aesthetically pleasing and highly functional that allows the user to vary the height of a toilet using a remote control. When simple movements, such as getting up from sitting on the toilet, become a problem, Easy Move intervenes by simplifying the lives of children, the elderly and people with reduced mobility. Easy Move is available with an optional handles kit for people with reduced mobility.

The motto at OLI is simple: “Anticipate needs. Find solutions for the future”. With this in mind, a major investment in RDI was the complete renovation of our testing laboratory, which is now equipped with the latest technology that will allow us to be at the forefront when it comes to research and innovation. The lab is divided into two distinct interacting areas: half of the posts are exclusively allocated to tests and standards that permit different product certifications in markets. The other stations are focused on the future, and test products with different levels of water hardness, with rainwater and seawater. With the awareness that water is an increasingly scarce resource, today, and surely in the future, we at OLI do everything in our power to protect against water shortages. We do not consider our efforts in the area a cost, instead we perceive them as an investment in the quality of life for everyone.

Hydroboost is a technology developed by OLI that harnesses the power of water in motion to generate enough energy to power a capacitive flush plate. The system is available with our no-touch dual flush plates. All it takes is the approach of a hand for the flush to be activated. The use of this technology requires no connection to the electrical grid or the replacement of batteries, since it harnesses the energy of water in motion and uses that energy to activate the flush plate. A self-sustainable and environmentally friendly solution for no-touch flush plates.

Iconic Award, Design Plus, German Innovation Award and Archiproducts Design Awards were the awards won in 2019 by the Moon Black control plate.

Made from Vista Alegre porcelain, Moon Black is the first porcelain control plate on the market. In addition to the unique design, it is self-sustainable and compatible with the innovative system Hydroboost, in which the flush water discharge generates its own energy, without the need for a source of electricity or batteries. Moon black includes a no touch system that is activated as the hand approaches, thus eliminating contact with the device and ensuring maximum hygienic conditions.

In 2019, OLI celebrated its 65th anniversary. The celebrations began in February with the public presentation of the book Our History, which chronicles the main moments of this business history led by the Oliveira family, and culminated with the Birthday Lunch, which brought together over 500 employees from all over the business group, in March, and the Gala Dinner, which brought together customers, suppliers and partners who have written and still write this history of success, in September.

OLI reaches 65 years positioned as the Iberian leader in flush toilet production, a relevant international dimension (present in 80 countries on 5 continents), a high production threshold (2 million flush cisterns and 2.8 million annual mechanisms) and innovative company status.

Stories steeped in achievements and challenges. Moments shared with employees, customers, suppliers and partners who wrote and write this 65-year-old success story.

OLI has expanded its industrial complex with the construction of a new logistics warehouse. Sustainability and energy self-sufficiency were taken into account in this project, which included the installation of photovoltaic panels on the roof and façade of the warehouse, which in the future will be completely automated.
The main objective was to boost process efficiency in the distribution and supply chain operation by providing a faster and more effective response.

Nordic Sanitary Systems is the result of a partnership between OLI – Sanitary Systems, S.A. and Portnor BYGG.

The Nordic countries have always been markets with a relevant presence of OLI manufactured products but, in the beginning of 2020s, this company found an opportunity to have closer contact and more direct service with Nordic customers. In the process of analyzing the sanitary and construction market, OLI and Portnor came together.

Nordic Sanitary Systems offer installer friendly smart solutions, certified by Nordic standards, environmentally friendly, highly reliable and with multiple aesthetic options that will fulfill all your needs.
