Orsadrinks Appoints Chimera Brand Development as UK Distribution Partner
Orsadrinks (ODK), the Italian company specialised in the development and production of high-quality ingredients and solutions for the beverage industry, and Chimera Brand Development, the hybrid drinks distributor and brand builder, are pleased to announce a new partnership starting in November 2026.
This agreement marks the beginning of a collaboration built on shared values, a passion for excellence and a commitment to supporting industry professionals with premium products and dedicated expertise.
At the core of both companies lies a strong focus on quality. Orsadrinks achieves this through carefully selected ingredients, continuous innovation and a fully controlled production process based in Northern Italy. Chimera Brand Development, meanwhile, has established itself as a trusted partner for distinctive drinks brands, offering a modern and strategic approach to distribution and brand development. Together, the two companies aim to bring greater value, innovation and inspiration to the UK drinks trade.
Gavin Kelly, ODK’s Commercial & Brand Director at Chimera, said: “We are proud and incredibly excited to be partnering with Orsadrinks. ODK is an outstanding brand with a real commitment to quality and Italian craftsmanship, and we look forward to introducing it to even more bartenders and baristas and driving growth for the range across the UK”.
With Chimera Brand Development driving ODK’s next phase of growth in the UK, the focus will be on bringing its innovative Italian beverage range to a wider audience across the hospitality sector.
Leading the expansion are three hero categories: Fruity Mixes, delivering vibrant fruit flavours for cocktails; Syrups, offering versatility across coffee and cocktail menus; and Premium Sours, helping operators create consistently high-quality cocktails with ease.
Supported by a wider portfolio of purées, juices, frappés and hot chocolates, the partnership aims to make ODK a go-to beverage ingredients brand for UK bars, restaurants and coffee shops.
Mauro Parola, CEO of Orsadrinks, says: “We are proud to begin this new partnership with Chimera. The UK market represents a strategic opportunity for Orsadrinks, and having a partner that shares our commitment to quality and innovation gives us great confidence for the future. Together, we look forward to strengthening our presence, creating new opportunities and delivering even greater value to customers across the country.”
