OEM/ODM- Production in China
Are you a producer or a product development company? Check the possibilities which gives you our all-inclusive service of production in China.
What is OEM production?
OEM- Original Equipment Manufacturer. This type of production is usually the most suitable for people and companies with new and innovative products. OEM means that the importer is responsible for developing the production project from scratch, and then orders another company (factory) to make it. Factories that run OEM production rarely deal with the design of a specific product themselves. The production is based on specifications provided by the importer. The factory in this case is only responsible for the production of the goods. OEM can also refer to a company that makes “white labelled”/ unbranded components used by your factories/ODM in order to make your end product. An example of an OEM factory is Foxconn, which provides certain iPhone production services for Apple. In this case, it means that Apple outsources to Foxconn. In fact, outsourcing to China is a common practice in the West because of cheap labor in China.

What is ODM production?
ODM- Original Design Manufacturer. This type of production is suitable for entrepreneurs who do not care about the original design and want to create products under their own brand at a relatively low cost. In the ODM production, the factory has already developed the technical specifications of the product and its production technology. This means that the importer can see the final product before placing an order. As a rule, at the importer’s request, factories allow small modifications to the product’s technical specification. Many suppliers are ready to make small changes, such as size, color, quality of materials used or packaging.
Many sellers and entrepreneurs who import products from China and sell them online on platforms such as Amazon or Wish, use this method. ODM production is relatively cheap and safe (of course if all risk-minimizing rules are followed). The final product as well as its packaging, in accordance with previous arrangements, contain the logo and information about the importer’s company. This solution prevents third parties from obtaining information about which factory produced goods, thus also securing the importer against potential competition. The most popular place to find ODM producers, especially in Asia, are B2B platforms such as Alibaba.com. Other sources may also be GlobalSources.com and Made-In-China.com. The minimum order quantity will be less than for OEM, due to the technology development costs being lower.
