OEM or Original Equipment Manufacturer is a broad term that describes relationships among hardware, parts and channel partners. An OEM is traditionally defined as a company whose products are used as part of the equipment of another company.
An original equipment manufacturer (OEM) makes equipment or components that are then utilized by its customer, another manufacturer, or a reseller, usually under the final reseller's brand name. OEMs come in many shapes and sizes, making complete devices or specific components. An example of this relationship would be a large automobile manufacturer that uses OEM components in the production of the cars it makes and sells.
