From Your Specification to a Production Run: Our OEM Workflow

Most of our export orders carry a customer brand. Here is the sequence from first enquiry to container loading, and what we need at each step.

From Your Specification to a Production Run: Our OEM Workflow

Private label work is the core of our export business. Dealers and tool brands rarely take a catalogue item unchanged: the colour must match their range, the carton must fit their warehouse, and the plug and voltage must suit their market.

Step 1: Enquiry and specification review

Send the model list, your target market and any drawing or sample you want matched. We review cutting length, motor power, voltage, plug standard, colour, logo position and carton specification, then confirm anything unclear before quoting.

Step 2: Quotation and tooling assessment

The quotation states unit price, tooling requirement if any, minimum order quantity, lead time and packing method. Where an existing mould or fixture can be adapted, we say so rather than charging for new tooling.

Step 3: Sample approval

Samples are produced to the specification and shipped for cutting tests and packaging review. Production starts only after written approval, so the approved sample becomes the reference standard for the run.

Step 4: Production, inspection and shipment

The approved sample is kept on file. During production, first-piece inspection is repeated after each tooling change, electrical safety tests are recorded per lot, and the outgoing report is filed with the shipment number. Packing, marking and documentation follow the specification agreed at order confirmation.
