OEM versus ODM in this industry
OEM means the supplier builds to your drawing and brand; ODM means they co-develop the core design and you take it to market. Both are common for air-to-air cores.
What can be customized
Core dimensions, plate material (hydrophilic aluminum, stainless steel, polymer PP), frame and gasket, efficiency target, and packaging or private-label requirements can all be specified.
Lead time and minimum order
Prototypes typically take 2 to 4 weeks and volume production 4 to 8 weeks after drawing release. Minimum order quantities vary by core type and tooling, so confirm before committing a project timeline.
