CONTRACT MANUFACTURING
CONTRACT MANUFACTURING
Contract manufacturing is a term used to describe a relationship between a company and a third-party manufacturer in which the contracting company outsources a portion of its manufacturing operations to the contracted company. Companies may form a contract manufacturing partnership for a variety of reasons, ranging from increasing production outputs to accommodating specialized manufacturing needs.
The scalability, reliability, and cost-effectiveness of contract manufacturing make it a highly common production solution, especially for companies in the aerospace, electronics, food and beverage, medical and pharmaceutical, and robotics industries.

BENEFITS OF PARTNERING WITH A CONTRACT MANUFACTURER
Contract manufacturing partnerships can offer a number of benefits, such as:
- Lower production costs and higher profitability. Contract manufacturers most likely already have the equipment and employees in place to accommodate a contracting company’s manufacturing needs. As a result, production operations can proceed quickly and, consequently, cheaply. These savings can then be passed on to the contracting company.
- Better scalability. Partnering with a contract manufacturer enables a contracting company to scale production operations to meet the current customer demand.
- Greater freedom. By outsourcing production to a contract manufacturer, the contracting company frees up its employees and equipment for other projects. They can focus on expanding product offerings or improving the marketing and distribution of current products.
