Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between OEM and ODM?
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturing) means you provide your product design, specifications, or branding requirements, and we manufacture the products accordingly. ODM (Original Design Manufacturing) means our R&D team helps design and develop products based on your requirements, which can then be sold under your brand. X&E provides both OEM and ODM services for smokeless grills, air fryers, multi-function cookers, and other small kitchen appliances.
What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
Our standard MOQ is generally based on approximately one 40HQ container per order. Typical quantities vary by product:

- Smokeless Grill: approximately 1,400 units;
- Mini Air Fryer: approximately 2,500 units;
