Sheet metal and gas appliance OEM/ODM track record
What YBT has made, for whom, at what volume, and which certifications the programmes carried. Customer names are given where YBT has published them; one account is described without a name under a confidentiality agreement.
Have we done something like your project before?
A capability list cannot answer that question, because every plant publishes the same list. The record below is arranged by programme type. YBT has been an OEM parts supplier to United States ceiling-fan brands, an ODM and OEM manufacturer of gas appliances for European and North American brand owners, a BSCI-audited supplier to a German retail chain, and since 2014 the OEM producer of electric heaters for one brand owner at about 20,000 units a year. Its own patio heaters hold CE certification under Regulation (EU) 2016/426 and a cETLus listing for North America, which means the certification route for a new gas appliance is one the plant has already walked.

Three things you can confirm from this record
Repeat orders over 20 years
The longest brand-owner relationship has run for more than twenty years, which is the practical test of whether a factory can hold a specification over repeat orders rather than for a single trial batch.
