MANUFACTURING

Over 30 Years of Experience 

With more than 30 years of hands-on manufacturing experience in both the US and China, OSE understands that the financial viability of a product often depends on decisions made early in the development process. Choices like design direction, material selection, production location, and supplier strategy have a direct impact on unit cost, lead time, and long-term margin. That is why we integrate manufacturing thinking from the very beginning of every project, not as an afterthought once the design is done.

Whether domestic or offshore, OSE has access to a wide range of manufacturing technologies capable of producing products across a broad range of industries, from electronics and household appliances to aerospace, sporting goods, and industrial automation.

Our Manufacturing Partnerships

What sets OSE apart in offshore manufacturing is not just knowing where to go, but knowing who to trust and how to evaluate new partners when a specific project requires it. Our supplier relationships in China have been built and tested over decades of real project work. When we engage an established partner we know their capabilities, their strengths, and how to hold them accountable to a standard that protects our clients.

When a project calls for a supplier we have not worked with before, we know exactly what to look for, what questions to ask, and what red flags to watch for, because we have been working with Chinese manufacturers long enough to have seen it all. Either way, our team stays actively involved throughout the entire production program, from tooling oversight through final inspection and shipment.

Our on-the-ground presence in China includes project managers, product engineers, and quality control specialists who oversee everything from tooling and sourcing to packaging, assembly, and quality inspection. Our clients do not navigate language barriers, time zone friction, or supplier negotiations on their own. We handle all of that on their behalf.
