Value-Added Manufacturing Services refer to the additional processes or activities performed by manufacturers that enhance the value of a product beyond its basic production. These services enhance the value of the final product and provide additional benefits and features that meet specific customer needs, often by improving its quality, functionality, or marketability. Also known as “contract manufacturers,” “co-manufacturers,” “third-party manufacturers,” or “CMOs”. Services include product development, standard production, final assembly, test, and pack (FATP), and the like. By integrating these value-added services, manufacturers can differentiate their offerings, optimize production, reduce time to market, and deliver higher satisfaction to their clients.
