OPM

What OPM does

OPM (OPM, Inc.) is a privately held, vertically integrated contract manufacturer founded in 2009 that produces complex CNC-machined components from custom stainless steels and nickel-base alloys. The company operates a global platform spanning a manufacturing facility in Changzhou, China, a US headquarters in Dallas/Houston, Texas, and a regional office in Bakel, Netherlands, serving enterprise OEMs primarily in the oil and gas sector — including Exxon, Shell, BP, Weatherford, and Forum Energy Technologies — with expansion into aerospace, automotive, medical device, and construction industries. OPM's core offering is the full production lifecycle from raw alloy formulation through tube rolling/cold drawing, CNC machining (milling, turning, 4-axis), wire EDM, heat treating, inspection, and mechanical assembly, supported by 100% serialized part traceability to raw materials, processes, and personnel.

The company's technical foundation rests on exclusive supply contracts with three major Chinese steel mills, enabling proprietary custom alloy formulations tailored to demanding down-hole and corrosive-environment applications, validated by an accredited third-party metallurgy laboratory partnership. Every product undergoes 100% dimensional and visual inspection, chemical composition and mechanical property analysis (including metallographic and inter-granular corrosion testing), and serialization for traceability compliant with NACE MR0175 and NORSOK standards. The company is ISO 9001:2015 certified and reports 32 employees globally.

OPM monetizes through project-based, quote-driven contract manufacturing: prospective customers submit RFQs specifying materials, tolerances, and volume, and OPM delivers custom-priced production parts and assemblies — described internally as multi-year contracts with project-based custom pricing. The go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales, with a dedicated sales engineer reporting to the managing director, manufacturer representatives for new opportunity sourcing, and coordination with the China office for new RFQs. Customers are reached through a content-rich website (white papers, case studies, certifications, RFQ form) and direct engagement; the company states a 40% travel requirement for in-person enterprise sales.
