What ODM means here
For a chair factory, ODM is a list of concrete things you need a supplier to handle. Here is what we take off your plate.
- Private-label finish & carton. Chrome, powder, gold or paint to your reference, packed in your printed carton.
- Drawing-built parts. Send a file; we quote against it and flag what needs new tooling.
- Reverse engineering. Send a foot you already use; we measure it and propose a part that fits your build.
- Cast or tube. A casting for the premium line, a welded tube for the volume line — from one order.
- Flat-pack. The knock-down format ships nested, which is where your freight saving comes from.
- Documentation. First-article checks and the test data your QA and importer need.
Where we will push back
We would rather lose a line item than ship a foot we do not believe in. If your target price forces a tube wall that will not hold the load you are quoting, we will say so and propose a different section or an honest re-rating. The trade-off stays visible — that is what you are buying when you order from a component maker instead of a reseller.
Customer & shared tools
New tooling on your account, or amortised shared tooling for standard variants.
Flat-pack to spec
Nested cartons, inner counts and labels to your importer’s requirement.
Container logistics
FOB Ningbo/Shanghai; mixed loads for buyers ordering across the range.
Set per part
Standard items ship faster; new tooling adds a sampling window we quote up front.
