Odelo is a German manufacturer of automotive lights and part of the Turkish Bayraktarlar group. The company's front, rear, daytime running and auxiliary lights are supplied to a wide variety of automobile manufacturers, including volume manufacturers such as Volkswagen and Ford, premium manufacturers such as Mercedes-Benz and Porsche, and commercial vehicle manufacturers such as MAN.
Odelo originated in the Schefenacker company , which Alfred Schefenacker founded in Esslingen in 1935 . It initially produced interior lighting for vehicles. Taillights were first produced from 1938. After the war, the product range was expanded to include additional parts for the automotive industry, so that in 1950, in addition to taillights and interior lights, exterior and interior mirrors, cigarette lighter, ashtrays and trim strips were also sold. In 2007 the Schefenacker Group split into a company specializing in vehicle mirrors ( Visiocorp ) and one for vehicle lights (Odelo). In 2011 Odelo was completely taken over by the Turkish Bayraktarlar Group, which was founded in 1935 by Mehmet Bayraktar in Istanbul and is still controlled by the founding family today.
Odelo has production sites in Germany, Turkey, Slovenia, Bulgaria and China.
