Contract Manufacturer California
Definition of Contract Manufacturer
At Altraco, we define a contract manufacturer as a company contracted to produce goods for another company under the label or brand of that hiring entity. This arrangement offers a flexible manufacturing solution that leverages the strengths of both partners.
Benefits of Contract Manufacturing
Contract manufacturing brings a plethora of benefits, including cost efficiency, scalability, and access to specialized manufacturing capabilities without the need for significant capital investment. For over 35 years, we’ve leveraged these advantages to provide our clients with cost-effective and reliable manufacturing solutions.
Drawbacks of Contract Manufacturing
While beneficial, contract manufacturing can introduce challenges such as loss of control over the manufacturing process and dependence on the supplier’s reliability. At Altraco, we mitigate these risks through transparent communication and robust quality control measures.
