Testing and Measurement in Oelde, Germany

Today's testing and measurement website hotspot is Oelde, a town in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, with a population of around 30,000.

Although the town has only officially existed since 1800, there was a settlement named "Ulidi" in the area around 900 AD. A castle was also built here in the 14th century.

Modern Oelde is a centre of metal and timber production and publishing, and also houses a nursing college. A significant company in the town is Westfalia Separator, a manufacturer of centrifuges and dairy machines.
