Summary of our successful case of an OEM company:


Industry:

OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer)

Background of client:

One of the major paper manufacturers in Hong Kong


Business Challenges:

The semi-finished or white-label product manufacturers experienced high pressure from the brand owners. They were expected to cut their production prices, shorten production time, decrease the minimum order quantity, and deliver high-quality products.

That led to the operation cost increase and profit decrease sharply. Due to such harsh conditions, many manufacturers had to move to backward counties to keep operation costs low.

Challenge Statement of the Transformation Project:

How to transform the business from OEM(Original Equipment Manufacturer) to OBM (Own Branding & Manufacturing)


Types of Transformations: 

Business Model Transformation and Product Transformation

Duration of Project:
