As the global portable energy storage market matures, generic solutions are no longer enough to stand out. For brands and enterprise clients seeking differentiation and technical edge, ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) partnerships are rapidly becoming the go-to strategy to accelerate innovation and market readiness.
As a leading manufacturer of portable power stations, iFORWAY delivers comprehensive ODM services — from product definition and design to mass production — enabling partners to develop unique, high-performance solutions tailored to their markets.
1. What Is ODM and Why Does It Matter?
ODM refers to a development model where the manufacturer designs and engineers a complete product based on a client’s concept or market need, then produces it under the client’s brand.
Compared to OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer), which involves white-label production based on an existing design, ODM is ideal for:
-
Brands with distribution channels but no in-house R&D
-
Companies seeking patented, feature-rich, or visually differentiated products
-
Niche applications with specific structural, electrical, or functional requirements (e.g., RV, emergency, industrial, or outdoor use)
-
Markets with local certification needs (CE, UL, PSE, etc.) and region-specific specs
