What is OEM & ODM in the Soy Sauce Industry?
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer)
OEM refers to producing soy sauce based on the buyer’s existing recipe, brand design, and packaging. The manufacturer supplies the product as per the buyer’s specifications.
ODM (Original Design Manufacturer)
ODM allows clients to develop their own unique product line with the help of the manufacturer’s R&D team. This includes new recipes, formulations, flavors, and packaging design.
