What Is an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)?
An original equipment manufacturer (OEM) is a company whose goods are used as components in the products of another company, known as a value-added reseller (VAR). The VAR works closely with the OEM, which often customizes designs based on the VAR’s needs and specifications.
Tom Wishon says:
"In the golf industry, the term OEM is used to describe any golf club that has been built by a company to sell as a standard-made, finished golf club, bought off-the-rack in a retail golf store, pro shop or internet golf retail company."
