Leave a request and our specialist will contact you, clarify the details, and offer the best delivery option. You’ll receive a clear plan with exact timelines.
Which one fits your business?
OEM — Perfect if you want a unique product under your brand, are ready to invest in development, and need full control over features and quality.
ODM — Ideal if you want to launch fast, cut costs, and use proven, ready-to-market solutions.
You design it — the factory makes it.
Your product stays unique, with quality controlled from raw materials to final assembly.
OEM
  • You provide the design and technical specifications.
  • Best for: complex electronics, medical devices, and innovations.
  • Pros: unique product, flexible and scalable, high margins.
  • Cons: high development costs, larger minimum order requirements.
Get Started
The factory already has a ready-made solution — you customize it.
You pick a model from the catalog with minimal changes.
ODM
  • The finished product carries your brand

Best for: gadgets, cosmetics, home appliances, and mass-market products.

Pros: low MOQ, fast launch with no development costs, and products already proven in the market.
