If you are new to sourcing gas stoves, the terms OEM and ODM are often confused. Both let you sell products under your own brand, but they work differently. Understanding the difference helps you choose the right path.
What Is OEM?
OEM — Original Equipment Manufacturing — means you provide the design or specification, and the factory manufactures it to your requirements. You control the product. It takes longer and may require tooling investment, but you get a product that is uniquely yours.
What Is ODM?
ODM — Original Design Manufacturing — means the factory provides a ready design, and you brand it as your own. You choose from existing models, add your logo and packaging, and launch quickly. It is faster and cheaper to start, but the design is not exclusive to you.
Which Should You Choose?
- Choose ODM if you are launching fast, testing the market, or starting with lower volume. Pick an existing THREEMI model, add your brand, and start selling.
- Choose OEM if you have specific requirements, want a differentiated product, or are scaling a serious brand. We build to your exact specification.
A Practical Path: ODM First, OEM Later
Most successful importers start with ODM to test the market, then move to OEM once they know what sells. THREEMI supports both, so you can start fast and grow into a fully custom product line over time.
