Overview of Commercial Contract Manufacturing

Commercial contract manufacturing occurs when a third-party contract manufacturer enters a business arrangement with a brand owner or company to produce products on their behalf. The contract manufacturer is responsible for either part of or all the following manufacturing responsibilities:
- Sourcing materials
- Manufacturing
- Assembling components
- Quality control
Commercial contract manufacturing enables businesses to outsource their production needs to reduce expenses and improve their bottom line. The arrangement can also provide access to specialized expertise and equipment that businesses may not have in-house.
Many companies are beginning to partner with reputable contract manufacturers to improve efficiency and streamline operations, allowing the company to focus on marketing, sales, design, and other core competencies.
At Unity, our process encompasses every step of contract manufacturing, from the initial product concept and design for manufacturability (DFM) to production, packaging, quality inspection, and shipping. We work closely with our clients to ensure successful outcomes within the required timeline.
