What Is OEM & ODM Flatware Manufacturing?
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer)
- You provide the design or concept, and the factory produces it under your brand.
- Ideal for established brands that already have a defined product line.
ODM (Original Design Manufacturer)
- The manufacturer provides original designs you can customize and sell under your label.
- Ideal for startups or distributors looking to enter the market quickly.
The demand for custom stainless steel flatware is growing as global buyers seek sustainable, branded, and design-driven tableware. With full OEM/ODM capabilities, Mcallen helps you:
- Launch exclusive flatware collections
- Strengthen your brand identity
- Increase competitiveness in B2B markets
The OEM&ODM Flatware Manufacturing Process

You share product ideas or sketches. Mcallen’s designers refine them into production-ready drawings.
Step 2: Material & Finish Selection
Choose from various grades of stainless steel and finishes such as mirror, brushed, or PVD coatings.
Step 3: Sample Development
A prototype is made for your approval, including logo engraving, weight, and balance.
Step 4: Mass Production
Mcallen’s automated production ensures precision and stable quality in every batch.
Step 5: Packaging & Branding
Custom packaging — from kraft boxes to luxury gift sets — enhances your brand presence.
Step 6: Quality Control & Shipping
Strict inspection and export-standard packaging guarantee product safety and consistency.
