Who is the manufacturer?

In the process of modern industrial production, after a product is designed, it needs a manufacturer to manufacture it. So who is the manufacturer? Manufacturers can be divided into several types, including original manufacturers, OEM manufacturers, production partners and brand manufacturers.

Original factory refers to the original factory, which is usually produced directly in its own factory or workplace. Original manufacturers usually need high production technology and ability, and also need a certain scale to survive and develop. The original manufacturers are basically concentrated in developed countries, such as the United States, Germany and Japan.

OEM refers to the manufacturer who is commissioned to produce. Usually, after the client provides the design drawings and parts of the product, the production is carried out in accordance with the prescribed process and procedures. The relative advantages of OEM are production cost and time cycle, because they focus on manufacturing rather than design, so they have certain competitive advantages in production efficiency, technology and cost control. Casting is widely used in developing countries.

Production partner refers to the cooperation between two manufacturers to complete the manufacturing process of a project, and usually the obligations and responsibilities are clearly stipulated in the contract. Collaborative manufacturing strategy can help manufacturers make better use of their respective advantages, thus achieving a more efficient, stable and reliable manufacturing process. The advantage of manufacturing partners lies in the division of labor and resource sharing, which is more common in high-tech fields and multinational enterprises.

A brand manufacturer refers to an enterprise that brands and sells its products through commissioned production. Brand manufacturers usually invest more money in their own brand and market image, sales network and services. And through the way of authorized or commissioned production, turn manufacturers into market sellers, so as to gain more profit space. Brand manufacturers are more obvious in the field of consumer goods, such as home appliances, clothing, toys and so on.

To sum up, manufacturers are diverse and suitable for different requirements of production. Production enterprises can choose different manufacturing methods and cooperation modes according to their own actual situation and market trends, so as to better meet the needs of consumers and market changes.
