Factory-Direct Car Floor Mats: How OEM and ODM Orders Work

If you're a retailer, distributor or brand owner looking to resell automotive mats in Brazil, the short answer is that buying direct from the factory completely changes your margin. In this article we explain how the OEM and ODM models work, what to demand from a supplier, and why STORP TYPER handles both.

OEM vs ODM: what's the difference

OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer): the factory produces the mat to your design — shape, dimensions and specification set by you — or takes our existing catalogue and builds it under your brand. ODM (Original Design Manufacturer): the factory supplies a ready-made design (our catalogue of custom-fit models) and you only customise the packaging and the brand. In practice: OEM is "build it to my design"; ODM is "build your product under my brand".
