Original design manufacturer

Company that manufactures a product, that is rebranded by another firm for sale

An original design manufacturer is a company that designs and manufactures a product that is eventually rebranded by another firm for sale. Such companies allow the firm that owns or licenses the brand to produce products while having to engage in neither the detailed engineering work required to specify a product for manufacturing nor the organization and running of a factory. This is in contrast to using a contract manufacturer, where the contracting company would design the product and supply those specifications to the manufacturer.
