In the specialised field of designing electrical components for bespoke products, distinguishing between OEM and ODM services is vital. Glob-el, with its 30 years of industry experience, an R&D department, and a history of successful bespoke design and product deliveries, is a prime example of effectively leveraging these services.

OEM: customisation and control

OEM stands for “Original Equipment Manufacturer.” It refers to companies that manufacture components, parts, or entire products for use by another company in their products. Essentially, an OEM produces items based on the specifications provided by another company, which then integrates these components into its final products.

OEMs are often utilised by well-established brands that have their own product designs but rely on these specialised manufacturers for the actual production process. This arrangement allows brands to maintain control over their design and intellectual property while leveraging the manufacturing expertise and capabilities of the OEMs.

Working with OEMs has many advantages including:

  1. Creative control: OEMs strictly adhere to the client’s designs and patents.

  2. Competitive service rates: OEMs often offer lower prices due to bulk material sourcing.

  3. Cost efficiency: Collaborating with an OEM can save on equipment and maintenance costs.

ODM: efficiency and market readiness

ODM stands for “Original Design Manufacturer,” referring to organisations that handle both the design and manufacturing of products.

Unlike OEMs, which solely focus on manufacturing based on another company’s design, ODMs offer a comprehensive service that includes creating the product design and then producing it. This approach is especially beneficial for companies looking to rapidly market products without heavily investing in research and development.

Here are some of the benefits of partnering with ODMs:

  1. Lower development costs: ODMs reduce the expenses related to design and prototype production.

  2. Ready-to-market products: Clients gain access to pre-made prototypes and the ODM’s expertise.

  3. Reliability: ODM products are often pre-vetted for quality and compliance.
