OEM Process

How our OEM manufacturing process works

Concept Review

Send us your product image, sketch or concept. We review manufacturing feasibility, recommend materials and outline production approach and cost guidance.

Sample Development

We develop a metalware sample in the agreed dimensions, construction and finish. You review and approve it before production is confirmed.

Production & QC

Production begins with quality checkpoints at key stages. We track progress and manage any issues before final inspection.

Packaging & Export

Products are packed to your brand specifications. We handle export documentation, compliance and freight coordination.

Delivery

Sea or air freight to your destination. We coordinate with freight forwarders and confirm delivery completion.

Repeat Orders

Approved specifications, finishes and packaging details are retained for repeat orders — reducing lead time and development costs.

The Customisation Table

Shape is only the beginning.

Archive samples show how the same metalware vocabulary can move through printed artwork, seasonal graphics, colour and hand-worked surface finishes.
