An original equipment manufacturer, or OEM, manufactures products or components that are purchased by another company and retailed under that purchasing company's brand name.<sup id="cite_ref-def_1-0" class="reference">[1]</sup> OEM refers to the company that originally manufactured the product. When referring to automotive parts, OEM designates a replacement part made by the manufacturer of the original part.


wiki's definition is pretty good
