What are OEM and ODM modes?

1, ODM is the abbreviation of English original design manufacturer, and the literal translation is "original design manufacturer". ODM means that after a manufacturer designs a product, it may be seen by other enterprises in some cases, requiring the latter's brand name for production, or slightly modifying the design for production. Among them, the manufacturers who undertake the design and manufacturing business are called ODM manufacturers, and the products they produce are ODM products.

2, OEM, also known as fixed-point production, commonly known as OEM (production), the basic meaning is that brand manufacturers do not directly produce products, but use their own key core technologies to design and develop new products and control sales channels.

OEM entrusts other manufacturers of similar products to produce specific processing tasks through contract ordering. After that, the ordered products will be bought out at a low price and directly labeled with their own brand trademarks. This cooperative way of entrusting others to produce is called OEM for short. The manufacturer who undertakes the processing task is called OEM, and the products it produces are called OEM products. It can be seen that fixed-point production belongs to the "OEM" mode in processing trade and is the export of labor services with commodities as the carrier in international trade.

Extended data:

The main difference between ODM and OEM is that the latter is that the customer puts forward the product design scheme-no matter who finished the overall design-and does not allow the customer to provide the product with the design for the third party; The former is completed by the manufacturer from design to production, and the products are purchased by the main engine factory after molding. Whether the manufacturer can produce the same product for the third party depends on whether the OEM buys out the design scheme. OEM products are tailor-made for brand manufacturers. After production, you can only use the brand name, and you must never use the producer's own name to produce. ODM depends on whether the brand enterprise has bought out the copyright of the product.
