OEM / ODM

Your ice machine brand, without building a factory

KAISON is the manufacturer behind 30+ appliance brands and 10+ leading cross-border e-commerce sellers. This page explains exactly what can be customized, how OEM differs from ODM, and how long each path takes.

KAISON ice machine sample room with base models for OEM customization
How it works

Start from a proven base model, not a blank page

Every OEM project starts in the KAISON sample room: pick a base model that has already passed certification and production testing, then layer your brand on top — logo, packaging, panel finish, and market-specific parameters.

Because the base machine is already in serial production, your branded version inherits its supply chain, spare parts, and quality record from day one — the fastest, lowest-risk way to launch an ice machine line.

Customization scope

Six things you can customize

From a logo sticker to a completely new cabinet — pick the depth of customization that fits your budget and timeline.

01 · Branding

Logo & identity

Logo, nameplate, control panel printing, startup screen, and rating labels carry your brand across the machine.

02 · Packaging

Packaging & manuals

Carton design, user manuals, warranty cards, and market materials in your language and brand style.

03 · Appearance

Panels & finish

Door panel design, colors, materials (stainless / painted / black steel), and handle details for your market taste.

04 · Performance

Technical parameters

Voltage, refrigerant, ice size, daily output, bin capacity, and control logic adapted to your market standards.

05 · Compliance

Certification package

CE, FCC, ETL, CB, and RoHS support per model and destination, plus export documentation in your company name.

06 · New product

Full ODM development

New cabinet, new configuration, or a new category — engineered from requirements with 8 development engineers.

Custom process

The OEM/ODM process, step by step

Six defined stages from first call to after-sales — so you always know where your project stands. Your branding — logo, panel, and packaging — is built onto a proven base model, with a sample confirmed before anything moves to mass production.

  1. 01

    Requirement Confirmation

    Application, ice type, daily capacity, voltage and frequency, cooling method, working temperature, appearance and function needs, and target-market certifications.

  2. 02

    Solution Design

    Model recommendation, technical specifications, structure suggestions, capacity evaluation, and cost analysis — plus your branding: logo, color, panel finish, and packaging, adapted to your voltage, frequency, and market requirements.

  3. 03

    Prototype Development

    Engineering drawings and a working prototype are built for new designs — ice thickness, special functions, and appearance details confirmed with you before any tooling commitment.

  4. 04

    Testing & Sample Confirmation

    The sample is tested for ice production performance, electrical safety, refrigeration system, and reliability; you then review appearance, ice quality, output, operation, and packaging. Mass production starts only after your approval.

  5. 05

    Production, Inspection & Delivery

    Incoming material inspection, sheet metal processing, component assembly, refrigerant charging, and complete machine testing on every unit — then the certification package (CE, ETL, FCC, RoHS, CB) and documentation, with export-standard packing shipped under EXW, FOB Ningbo, CIF, or DDP terms.

  6. 06

    After-sales Support

    Installation, operation, cleaning, and troubleshooting videos, spare parts support, and remote technical guidance for overseas buyers.
