OEM production, also called fixed-point production, commonly known as OEM (production), basically means 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. Specific processing tasks are entrusted to other manufacturers of similar products through contract orders. 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.
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. This will enable other manufacturers to reduce their own development time. Manufacturers who undertake the design and manufacturing business are called ODM manufacturers, and the products they produce are ODM products.
I have made clothes, and I know a little. Factories accept orders, but each factory cooperates in different ways. At present, garment manufacturers are concentrated in the Pearl River Delta, and I always get goods in Guangdong. There are also several cooperative manufacturers in Zhongshan, all of which have pavements in Fuyuan Sijiqing Clothing Wholesale City. Last time I was there, the wholesale city has four floors, most of which are manufacturers and have all kinds of clothes. It is the chief venue-style O2O clothing wholesale base in Zhongshan.
