Your brand. Our production line. No drama.

We put your name on our pumps and ship them to your warehouse. We have done this for 12 countries.

Private-label vacuum pump manufacturing is not new. What is rare is finding a factory that does it without making you feel like you are negotiating a hostage situation. We do not charge for quotations. We do not ask for a deposit before we look at your drawings. Half our long-term OEM partners started with a single test unit. We remember which ones.

OEM and ODM. There is a difference.

Two paths. Both lead to your pump.

OEM — You spec it, we build it.

You send us a specification sheet, a drawing, or a brand manual. We adapt one of our existing pump platforms to match your requirements. You get: your brand name on the serial plate, your model number, your color if you want it, your packaging design. The pump inside is a GOFLEX pump — tested to our standards, with our test report — but it leaves the factory wearing your identity.

Typical OEM path: you send specs, we send CAD for approval, we build a first article, you test it, we refine, we produce. 30-45 days from CAD approval to first article shipment.

ODM — You describe it, we design it.

You tell us the application, the target vacuum, the flow rate, the price point, and any constraints (size, voltage, noise ceiling). We do the engineering. Our team proposes a pump design — sometimes a modification of an existing model, sometimes a new configuration. You approve. We build. You sell it under your brand as if your own engineers designed it. Because, effectively, they did — we just did the drafting.

Typical ODM path: you describe the need, we propose a design, you review, we prototype, you test, we produce. 45-60 days from design lock to first article.

What goes on your pump

These are things we actually customize. Not things we say we do and then stall on.

Some factories will promise anything on a sales call and deliver none of it. Here is exactly what we can do — and what we cannot.

Customization Options & OEM Services

Flexible manufacturing tailored to your brand specifications and technical requirements.

Customization	What we can do	Minimum order
Brand name / logo	Your company name and logo on the serial plate. Laser-etched aluminum plate, attached with rivets. We can also silk-screen your logo on the pump housing if you want it visible.	1 unit
Model number	Your internal part number or SKU. Printed on the serial plate, the test report, and the packing list. Your warehouse team will never see "RV-020" — they will see whatever you call it.	1 unit
Paint color	Standard GOFLEX blue-grey, or custom RAL color. Custom colors require a minimum batch because the paint booth setup takes time. We have done dark green for a Turkish brand, orange for a Brazilian one, and white for a medical distributor in Germany.	20 units
Voltage / frequency	110V 60Hz, 220V 50Hz, 220V 60Hz, 380V 3-phase 50Hz, 460V 3-phase 60Hz. We can do other voltages. Tell us what you need. UL-listed motors available for North America — adds cost and about 10 days lead time.	1 unit
Inlet / outlet fittings	KF16, KF25, KF40, 1/4" SAE, 3/8" SAE, BSP, NPT. If you need a specific fitting that is not on this list, send us the drawing. We probably already have it in the parts bin.	1 unit
Packaging	Your brand on the crate. Your logo on the box. Your instruction manual inside. Your warranty card. Your contact info on the shipping label. The crate is still built to survive international freight — branding does not change that.	1 unit
Instruction manual	We can provide a generic manual in English. Or you can send us your branded manual and we will pack it with the pump. Or we can co-develop a manual — our technical content, your branding and formatting.	1 unit
Oil type	Standard mineral oil, PFPE for oxygen service, synthetic for extended drain intervals. Tell us the application and we will recommend. PFPE is expensive — roughly 8x the cost of mineral oil — but it is non-flammable and necessary for some applications.	1 unit
Accessories kit	Inlet trap, exhaust filter, vibration isolators, spare oil, spare vanes, spare seals. Packaged as a kit with your branding or shipped separately. Many OEM partners order accessories in bulk to sell as consumables to their end users.	1 unit
Test report format	Standard GOFLEX format, or your company template. We can populate your test report with data from our test bench. Same measurements, different header.	1 unit

How long it takes

Realistic lead times. Not sales-brochure times.

Quotation

No deposit. No fee. Send us your requirements and we will quote within 24-48 hours. If your specification is complex — a full ODM design, unusual voltage, ATEX compliance — it might take 3-5 days because we need to check with our motor supplier and our materials specialist. We will tell you upfront if that is the case.

OEM First Article

30-45 days from CAD approval to first article shipment. This includes: tooling adjustments if needed, serial plate production, packaging design, first-article build, and the full test cycle. Air freight for the first article is common — you want to see it quickly. Sea freight for production batches.

ODM First Article

45-60 days from design lock to first article. The extra time is for engineering and prototyping. If the design is a modification of an existing platform, we can sometimes do it faster. If it requires new castings or a custom motor, the lead time is firm.

Production Batch

After first article approval: 15-30 days for standard batch sizes (20-100 units). Larger batches scale roughly linearly — we do not have a 6-month queue. If we tell you 30 days, it means 30 days. We have missed a deadline exactly once in the last three years, and it was because a typhoon delayed the motor shipment by a week.

Sea Freight

15-25 days to Europe. 12-18 days to the US West Coast. 25-35 days to South America. 7-10 days to Southeast Asia. We ship FOB Yantian or CIF to your port — your choice. We will quote both and let you decide.

Air Freight

3-7 days to most destinations. Expensive. Worth it for first articles, urgent replacements, or when your production line is down and every hour costs money. We have a relationship with a freight forwarder who handles our air shipments. Their success rate is high. Their invoices are not small.

Things that actually matter for an OEM partnership

Why distributors pick GOFLEX for private label

We do not compete with you.

GOFLEX does not sell direct to end users in your market under our own brand. We are a manufacturer, not a retailer. Your customers will never get a Google result for "GOFLEX pump" in your language, in your country, undercutting your price. Our own-brand sales are mostly in China and a few markets where we have no OEM partner. We will tell you which markets those are when we talk.

You own your customer data.

We never contact your end users. Warranty claims go through you. If a pump has a problem, you talk to the customer, you talk to us, and we send parts or a replacement to you — not to your customer. Your relationship with your buyer stays yours.

Exclusivity is real.

If you are our OEM partner for Germany, we will not supply another German company with the same product under a different label — even if they ask. We have turned down orders to protect existing partners. It costs us money in the short term. It keeps partners for the long term.

Test reports go with every pump.

Your brand on the report. Your end users get a document showing the pump's measured performance. This reduces "the pump is not working" calls — the data is right there. If the data says the pump met spec at our factory, and the customer says it is not working, the problem is usually in their installation. We have learned this the hard way.

Warranty parts ship in 3 days.

For warranty claims, we ship replacement parts within 3 business days of claim approval — or a complete replacement pump if the failure is major. We stock common wear parts for every model we make. Uncommon parts might take 5-7 days. We will not make you wait for a container shipment.

Small orders are fine. We have no MOQ for first units.

Order one pump to test. Run it. Break it. Send us feedback. Half our OEM relationships started with a single test unit. We do not punish small orders. Some factories treat a 5-unit order like an inconvenience. We treat it like a future 500-unit order that starts today.

From your email to your warehouse

How the OEM process actually works

1. You reach out

Send us what you need: pump type, specs, branding requirements, target price point. No formal RFQ needed. An email is fine.

2. We quote

24-48 hours. No deposit. Quote includes: unit price, tooling costs if any, packaging costs, shipping options, lead time.

3. CAD approval

We send drawings. You review. We adjust. You sign off. This step usually takes 3-7 days depending on how many changes you need.

4. First article

We build one unit exactly as your production pumps will be built. Full test. Ships to you for approval.

5. You approve

You test the first article. If it meets your spec, we proceed. If not, we fix it. We do not bill for changes at this stage.

6. Production

Your batch goes into the production schedule. You get updates. Every pump tested. Every test report sent to you.

7. Shipping

FOB or CIF. Sea or air. Tracking number provided. We handle export docs. Your pump arrives in your warehouse in your crate.

8. Reorder

Same spec. Same quality. Faster lead time on repeats because tooling and approvals are done. This is where the partnership pays off.

Questions we get from OEM buyers

Answers before you ask

Do you charge for quotations?

No. Never. Not even for complex ODM projects that require engineering time. Quoting is part of our sales process. We do not pass that cost to you.

Do you require a deposit before looking at our drawings?

No. Send us your drawings or spec sheet. We review them. If we have questions, we ask. If we can do it, we quote. If we cannot, we tell you why.

What is your MOQ for OEM orders?

No minimum for the first unit. For production batches with custom branding (color, serial plates, packaging): 20 units is the practical minimum because setup time is the same for 1 or 20. We will do smaller batches, but the per-unit cost goes up. We will be honest about the math.

Can you match an existing pump I am currently buying from another supplier?

Probably. Send us the spec sheet of the pump you want us to match. We will tell you which of our models is closest, or if we need to modify one. We do this regularly for buyers who are switching suppliers. We have reverse-engineered mounting hole patterns to make drop-in replacements. It is not glamorous but it works.

Do you offer market exclusivity?

Yes, based on country or region and a minimum annual volume. The volume threshold depends on the market size. Germany is different from Lithuania. We discuss exclusivity terms during the quotation process. It is a real commitment, not a sales tactic.

Can you drop-ship directly to our end customers?

Yes. We can ship to your customer's address with your branding, your packing list, your paperwork. The customer never sees GOFLEX. Many of our OEM partners use this for large end-user orders to save on double freight.

What if my market requires specific certifications?

Tell us what you need. We have done CE for Europe, preparations for UL for North America, and CCC for China domestic. If your market requires a certification we have not done before, we will research it and tell you the cost and timeline. We do not promise certifications we cannot deliver.

Will my customers know the pump is made in China?

The country of origin is on the crate because customs requires it. But the pump itself, the manual, the serial plate, the test report — all show your brand. Your customer's experience is that they bought a pump from you. The supply chain behind it is our job, not their concern.

Ready to put your brand on a vacuum pump?

Send us your requirements. No deposit. No pressure. We will quote within 24-48 hours or tell you why we cannot.
