Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)
What is an Original equipment manufacturer (OEM)?
An Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) is a company that manufactures products or components that are purchased by another company and then sold under that purchasing company’s brand name. OEMs typically produce goods to be used as components in the products of another company, rather than for direct consumer sale. They often provide warranties and support for their products during the warranty period.
Why organisations need OEM?
Organizations choose for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) for their specialised product expertise, quality assurance, and support services. OEMs offer tailored solutions, access to the latest technology, and risk mitigation. This partnership ensures high-quality products, reliability, and operational efficiency, helping to the organisation’s success and competitiveness in the market.
What are the warranty terms and coverage for OEM products?
Warranty terms for OEM products typically specify the duration and coverage of protection against defects. Coverage may include parts and labor, with exclusions for misuse or unauthorized modifications.
