Thaco Industries develops comprehensive OEM manufacturing and supply model

Large scale, specialized and integrated:

According to the Ministry of Industry and Trade , the industrialization process goes through four levels: assembly; manufacturing with own techniques (Own Engineering Manufacturing - OEM); manufacturing with own design (Own Design Manufacturing - ODM) and the highest level is manufacturing with own brand (Own Brand Manufacturing - OBM).

In which, mechanical engineering and supporting industries are considered the key foundation, determining the ability to advance to higher levels of industrialization.
