OEM Production Inc.

What OEM Production Inc. does

OEM Production Inc. is a privately-held, San Francisco Bay Area-based B2B hardware manufacturer operating since 1989 (also doing business as 'Polywell'), specializing in OEM/ODM design and build of compact, industrial-grade computing platforms for small and mid-size businesses and embedded systems integrators. Its portfolio spans 12+ product lines including Mini PCs (Nano, NUC, Slim ITX form factors), fanless ruggedized computers for harsh industrial environments, NVIDIA Jetson-based Edge AI systems (Orin Nano/NX and Thor up to 2,070 TFLOPS), digital signage players, OPS/SDM pluggable modules, all-in-one touch panel PCs, multi-LAN network security appliances (up to 10 GbE with SFP+), CAN-bus industrial controllers, storage servers, and ruggedized tablets and notebooks. The technology stack is silicon-agnostic across Intel (Core, Atom, Celeron, vPro, Core Ultra), AMD (Ryzen Mobile, Ryzen AI Max+ 395, Socket AM5), NVIDIA (Jetson, RTX 30/40/50 series), and ARM (Rockchip) architectures, unified by proprietary fanless thermal designs and a 10-15 year embedded product longevity program.

The business model is sales-led direct B2B: all products are quote-priced (no public e-commerce), sold via phone and email to enterprise and integrator customers, with multi-year contracts and acceptance of custom/OEM build orders. There are no disclosed revenue figures, no outside funding rounds, no M&A activity, and no named enterprise customers, indicating an owner-operated, cash-generative OEM with a distributed customer base across at least seven verticals: Edge AI/IoT, industrial automation, digital signage, kiosk/POS, network security, medical equipment, and POS.
