Contract manufacturing is when a company hires a third-party manufacturer to produce its parts or fully assembled products. This strategic outsourcing allows businesses to leverage specialized equipment and expertise, reducing internal costs and improving speed to market. For companies in demanding industries like aerospace, defense, and medical, partnering with an experienced and certified contract manufacturer is critical.
With over 50 years of experience, Acro Industries, Inc. provides comprehensive contract manufacturing services that integrate seamlessly with your operations. We are your manufacturing solutions team, offering the capacity and technology of a large corporation while providing the dedicated attention of a close partner.
Types of Contract Manufacturers
Contract manufacturing partnerships are flexible and can be structured to fit a client’s specific needs. The two most common models are Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and Original Design Manufacturer (ODM).
Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)
In this model, a company provides its own completed product designs to a manufacturing partner who has the equipment and expertise to build them. Acro excels in this role, taking your finalized drawings/model files and producing high-quality components and assemblies to your exact specifications.
Original Design Manufacturer (ODM)
An ODM both designs and manufactures products, which another company can then purchase and sell under its own brand name. Acro can offer a more collaborative version of this partnership, providing full product design and development services to help you create and optimize a new solution from the ground up.
Acro Industries operates as a flexible partner, capable of acting as your collaborative design and development expert to bring innovative products to market.
