Frequently asked questions
Is QuickOEM a factory or a platform?
QuickOEM is a matchmaking platform, not a manufacturer. It does not produce anything itself; it connects brands to a vetted network of 500+ certified factories and matches each brief to the best-fit supply chain. Brands use it free of charge and the platform takes no markup on factory quotes.
How fast can I get matched?
Submit one brief covering category, formulation direction, target MOQ, budget and target market. QuickOEM returns the factory supply chain that best fits that brief within 24 hours. Sampling usually takes 7–15 days once the brief is locked, followed by mass production in 30–45 days.
How is this different from a trading company?
A trading company resells factory capacity with its own margin and a limited agent pool. QuickOEM is a neutral platform with 500+ certified factories, transparent factory pricing with no markup, and compliance coverage across China, the EU, the US, ASEAN, GCC and Saudi Arabia.
What compliance does QuickOEM cover?
Coverage spans China NMPA filing for ordinary cosmetics (special categories such as sunscreen and whitening require registration), EU 1223/2009 with CPNP notification, US MoCRA facility registration and product listing, plus ASEAN, GCC and Saudi SFDA pathways.
