Thinking of manufacturing your products in the Asian giant? MingTa Group, an outsourcing company in China, offers you a personalized consultancy service with the aim of facilitating commercial relations with Asian manufacturers and suppliers.
If you have already started looking for factories in China to develop your product on your own, you may have come across some that are listed as ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) and OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer), do you know the differences between these terms? These acronyms are used in the manufacturing industry to define the manufacturing peculiarities of a product.
ODM: Original Design Manufacturer
ODM factories design and manufacture products to be marketed by other brands. This type of manufacturing allows brands to develop their product without having to get too involved in the production process of the item.
OEM: Original Equipment Manufacturer
Although the acronym OEM usually refers to the company that manufactures an original product, the original equipment manufacturer is, specifically, the company that manufactures the items that are then purchased by a company and retailed under the latter’s brand name.
Professional services such as those offered by MingTa Group are essential when doing business with China, as the task of locating the right manufacturer or supplier for you is often complicated. In addition, it is also essential to ensure that the selected factory has all the documentation in order: export certificates, manufacturing authorization from the Chinese government and certificates of the different products that corroborate that they can be introduced in the European Economic Community, in this case. The answer to all these doubts would be solved with a factory audit. This ensures that the manufacturer is able to properly produce the goods you want to order.
