OEM vs ODM Faucet Manufacturing

OEM and ODM are two common manufacturing models for private label faucets. VIGA is a faucet factory in China and this page explains the difference between OEM and ODM.

OEM Manufacturing

• You provide the design, drawing or sample
• The factory produces to your exact specification
• You own the design and brand
• Higher setup cost and longer development time

ODM Manufacturing

• The factory provides an existing design
• You select the model and add your logo and packaging
• Faster launch and lower tooling cost
• Design is shared or owned by the factory

Which Should You Choose

Choose ODM for a faster and lower cost launch using proven designs. Choose OEM when you need a unique product that matches your own design and market positioning.

VIGA supports both. See our OEM/ODM private label page or contact us.
