Turnkey supplier (also known as contract manufacturers) is a term referring to a company that manufactures parts or complete products that are then rebranded and sold to consumers under a better known brand. Brand name companies focus on product innovation, design and sales, while the manufacturing takes place in independent factories (the turnkey suppliers).[1]

Most turnkey suppliers specialize in simply manufacturing physical products, but some are also able to handle a significant part of the design and customization process if needed. Some turnkey suppliers specialize in one base component (ex. memory chips) or a base process (e.g. plastic molding).[1]
