Contract manufacturing is a type of business agreement in which one company (the contracting company) outsources some or all of its manufacturing operations to another company (the contract manufacturer). The contract manufacturer makes the parts or products to the specifications provided by the contracting company, which then uses them to create complete product assemblies or distributes them under its own brand.
This type of manufacturing relationship is highly beneficial to the contracting company. They can focus on other aspects of their business (e.g., marketing, sales, and distribution) without worry about investing time, money, and resources into building and running a production facility. Additionally, the contract manufacturer can give them access to industry experts or sourcing networks that help improve the quality of the components and/or reduce production costs.
Contract manufacturing can be used to make a variety of parts and products. For example, the experts at Partec provide contract manufacturing services for mechanical and electrical assemblies. Below, we highlight the types of contract assembly services available at Partec, Inc. and the industries that rely on them.
