Award-winning connectors that make furniture assembly easy

The OVVO® Connection system is a unique, patented solution that allows two pieces of material to join together without the use of tools, glues or screws.  

OVVO products are a range of cleverly engineered, award-winning, invisible connectors that make joining wood simple. The connectors are installed during the manufacturing process so the end-user can simply click/push together cabinets, shop fit-out components, door frame assemblies or furniture without the need for tools, screws, or glues.

The result is an accessible, sustainable product that saves time, money and effort for consumers and manufacturers alike. Manufacturers can also benefit from significantly reduced shipping costs, as items can be shipped flat-packed.

A range of sizes of connectors are available to suit from 12mm, 15/16mm to 18/19mm panels and above. Each product type comes in permanent or releasable models. The permanent connector is used for easy assembly when the joint does not need to be opened. The releasable connectors allow for disassembly and removal of individual components. It is an invisible solution that delivers a tightly held bond between the two materials being joined.

The latest additions to the OVVO product family, namely the OVVO 6mm x 40mm Dowel (OD640) and the redesigned Drilling Housing (DH1), are specifically designed to work in standard drill patterns, on both sides of the joint. The OD640 is inserted into the panel without any glue to form a permanent joint in 15mm panels and above. These new connectors make it even easier for manufacturers to incorporate OVVO into their standard processes, saving time and money by eliminating glue and case clamping time. No additional equipment or capital is needed to deliver tools-free assembly products to the end customer.

Since launching, the OVVO brand has gone from strength to strength, picking up numerous highly regarded industry awards along the way. Most recently awarded the “Outstanding Furniture Accessories” award at Interzum-Guangzhou for the innovative connection system, the relentless quest to make life easier for people ensures that simplicity is at the heart of every new product: with each new product developed, the OVVO range has become more accessible to manufacturers, with the ability to be integrated into existing production processes, and suitable for a wide range of production capabilities.

All OVVO connectors are designed for high-volume, automatic insertion, and ongoing partnerships with leading software providers and machine companies ensure that manufacturers can easily incorporate OVVO into their existing processes, and into new product design and development.

OVVO has some exciting developments with its new machine partner, Pro-Edge Technology, whereby all OVVO parts will be fully automated and insertable on one machine.

All OVVO connectors can be installed into a variety of materials ranging from high-quality hardwoods to low-grade particle board, and the company’s recyclable plastic means any waste is put back into the production of its product.

OVVO works best in boards >12mm thickness and is available in a range of sizes to perfectly match your requirements. Most connector sizes are available in both PERMANENT and RELEASABLE options, extending the range of materials and opportunities to inspire creative design and innovative development.

OVVO-enabled furniture products can now be found in major retailers. In fact, NEXT.CO.UK are implementing OVVO across their range of case goods and flat-pack furniture. Speed and ease of using OVVO leaves customers with a positive experience; given a choice NEXT customers have said if the same item were available with/without OVVO they would choose the OVVO assembly system every time.

Ongoing research and development mean that OVVO will continue to produce breakthrough products and support the industry as it changes towards an ‘easy to assemble’ market. 

Consumer demands are shifting more and more towards convenience and sustainability.  OVVO helps you meet those demands and give your products a competitive edge.
