Odol‑med3 is a German oral‑care brand descended from the historic Odol line first created by Karl August Lingner in the late 19th century. The Odol name originated in Germany as a mouthwash and later expanded into toothpastes; the Odol‑med3 range (marketed for its "3‑in‑1" protection claims) has been sold in Germany and other European markets for decades.

Manufacturing and distribution: Odol‑med3 products are produced primarily in Germany (German manufacturing and packaging are commonly shown on product listings and manufacturer credits), though some variants and regional packs may be produced in additional locations to serve international markets. On packaging sold in Germany the tube language and sizing (e.g., "XXL 125 ml") indicate the European/German market formulation and labeling.

Ownership and corporate lineage: The original Odol brand traces back to Lingner‑Werke (Karl August Lingner). Over the 20th century the brand passed through several corporate owners in the consumer health sector; most recently the consumer healthcare business that included Odol was part of GlaxoSmithKline’s portfolio and was reorganized into Haleon plc in 2022. Today Haleon plc is the ultimate owner and Haleon Germany GmbH operates locally as the manufacturer/distributor for Odol‑med3 products in Germany.

Implications for buyers and data systems: For origin/ownership reporting use Germany as the primary manufacturing country and Haleon plc (UK) as the ultimate owner. Company of origin should be recorded as Lingner‑Werke / Karl August Lingner to reflect the historical brand origin. Subsidiary/manufacturer records typically list Haleon Germany GmbH for products marketed in Germany.
