Long-term private-label production with dedicated lines and IP protection.
Contract manufacturing is for buyers who want India to make their product, not just supply components. We set up dedicated production lines at vetted Indian factories, with Magnus managing the entire operation.
Engagements run 3-7 years typically, with annual volumes from 50,000 to 5 million units. You get cost benefits without operational burden of running an India subsidiary.
