Do you offer OEM/ODM and private label services for transmissions?

Yes, we offer a full spectrum of OEM, ODM, and private label services specifically designed for B2B importers and distributors who want to build their own transmission brand or serve specialized market requirements. This is not a side business for us — our dedicated engineering and project management team handles OEM/ODM projects as a core strategic function.

OEM Services — Build to Your Specification

Our OEM capability means we manufacture transmissions to your exact technical requirements rather than our standard catalog specifications. On the mechanical side, we can customize gear ratios to suit your market's driving conditions — shorter ratios for mountainous regions where climbing torque matters, taller overdrive ratios for highway-heavy markets where fuel economy is paramount. We can modify housing castings to adapt bell-housing bolt patterns for unique engine pairings, reposition mounting bosses for chassis-specific installations, and upgrade internal components with reinforced clutch packs, cryogenically treated gears, or heavy-duty synchronizer rings for markets with severe duty cycles, unpaved roads, or extreme ambient temperatures. On the electronic side, our TCU calibration engineers can program custom shift maps, adjust shift firmness, set torque limits for driveline protection, and configure drive-mode logic for eco, sport, and towing profiles.

ODM Services — We Design, You Brand

ODM goes a step further. If your market has vehicle platforms not covered by our standard catalog — discontinued models where the OEM no longer supplies transmissions, or regional vehicle variants built on older platforms — our engineering team can develop a transmission specifically for that application. This typically involves reverse-engineering the original unit, identifying failure-prone components and upgrading them, and then producing a fully compatible replacement that outperforms the original in durability. The development cycle from project kickoff to production-ready samples ranges from 6 to 12 months depending on complexity. ODM projects are protected by a comprehensive NDA, and we respect your intellectual property as if it were our own — your design files, test data, and production documentation are stored on air-gapped servers with access restricted to the project team.

Private Label Program — Your Brand, Our Manufacturing

The private label program is the fastest path to market for importers who want a branded product without the engineering investment of OEM. Every customer-facing surface can carry your brand identity — laser-etched logos on the transmission housing, branded riveted ID plates with your part numbers, custom color packaging with your artwork and regulatory markings, and even your company name and warranty terms printed inside the installation manual. The packaging style — from heavy-duty corrugated boxes with molded foam to export-grade plywood crates for heavy truck units — is configured to your preference. Your internal SKU and barcode system is applied to every label so the product integrates seamlessly into your warehouse management system. Private label MOQ starts at 50 units per SKU, which we can often reduce further for a brand-launch phase.

Tooling Ownership and Amortization

For OEM and ODM projects requiring unique tooling — casting dies, forging fixtures, machining jigs, test-bench adapter plates — you have a choice. You can pay for the tooling upfront and retain full ownership, meaning the tooling is yours and can be transferred to another manufacturer if you ever choose to switch suppliers. Alternatively, we can amortize the tooling cost over the first contract period, typically 12 to 24 months, after which the tooling cost drops out of the unit price. Both models are standard in the industry and we are happy to structure the agreement whichever way aligns with your financial planning.

Project Roadmap — What to Expect

Every OEM/ODM engagement follows a structured five-phase process. Phase one is technical discovery, where our engineering team reviews your target vehicle specifications, failure analysis from your market, and performance requirements — typically completed within 2-3 weeks. Phase two is design and engineering, producing 3D CAD models, FEA reports, and a DFMEA document for your review and approval. Phase three is prototype fabrication and bench validation, where we build 2-5 prototype units and run them through our full test protocol. Phase four is field validation — you install prototypes in real vehicles in your market and collect 10,000-20,000 km of data. Phase five is production ramp-up with a controlled pilot batch before full serial production begins. Throughout this process, you receive weekly progress updates and milestone-gate presentations so there are no surprises.
