Contract ManufacturingIn contract manufacturing, the firm’s product is produced in the foreign market by local producer under contract with the firm. Because the contract covers only manufacturing, marketing is handled by a sales subsidiary of the firm which keeps the market control.
Contract ManufacturingContract manufacturing obviates the need for plant investment, transportation costs and custom tariffs and the firm gets the advantage of advertising its product as locally made. Contract manufacturing also enables the firm to avoid labour and other problems that may arise from its lack of familiarity with the local economy and culture.
