OEMkumppanit
OEMkumppanit, also known as Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), are companies that produce goods for resale by other manufacturers. These goods are often branded under the name of the reseller, rather than the OEM. The relationship between OEMs and their customers is typically characterized by long-term partnerships, where the OEM provides the customer with a product design, manufacturing process, or both. The customer then markets and sells the product under their own brand name. This arrangement allows the customer to focus on marketing and sales, while the OEM handles the production and quality control. OEMkumppanit play a crucial role in the global supply chain, enabling companies to access a wide range of products and services without the need to invest in their own manufacturing capabilities. They also provide economies of scale, as OEMs can produce large quantities of goods at a lower cost than individual companies. However, this relationship also comes with risks, such as dependency on the OEM for product availability and quality control.
