OEM
Original parts maker
OEM stands for original equipment manufacturer—a company that makes parts or products sold under another company's brand.
A computer maker might use OEM components from various suppliers.
The term also describes products sold in bulk without retail packaging: OEM software, OEM parts.
In automotive contexts, OEM parts are factory-original rather than aftermarket.
