Your product. Our plant.

It is producing another company's product so that it can sell it under its own brand. The company brings the product and the brand; Donner brings the plant, the process and the production. It is also known as private label or OEM.

Yes, that is toll manufacturing: the client supplies the raw material and we provide the plant, the labour and the process. We also work with our own or imported material, whichever suits.

There is no fixed number. What decides whether it makes sense is that the product justifies standardising the process: from there, the greater the volume, the better the unit cost.

Yes. It is delivered packed with the client's packaging and labelling, ready to sell or export. To the end buyer, the product is the client's.

Yes. We produce in Argentina for companies abroad looking for a manufacturing partner outside Asia. We have already delivered projects in nine countries of the Americas.

Yes, when it is substantially transformed at the plant. What comes out is an Argentine-made product, with its certificate of origin, produced within Mercosur.

Yes, where it suits the buyer. We have our own presence in the United States, so the purchase can be made locally, in dollars, from a U.S. company, and we handle the logistics. Manufacturing still happens at the Buenos Aires plant: what changes is who carries the foreign trade.

It makes sense when the programme calls for development and finish rather than pure volume. Argentina does not compete on price against a large-scale Asian plant, and saying so up front saves everyone time. It competes on something else: medium runs, product that has to be developed, specification changes that do not mean re-cutting tooling, and a time zone where you get an answer the same day. For a second source that reduces exposure to a single region — what procurement teams call nearshoring — that is the conversation.

It falls in the lower band of the measure in force, below China, Brazil, Chile and Vietnam, and the product carries an Argentine certificate of origin. Two things are worth adding. The rate depends on the tariff heading and not on the country alone, which is why we settle it with your customs broker before quoting. And rates move: we give you the one in force in writing and with the source, rather than publishing a number that ages.

It depends on the product, and it is worth being fair about it. For commodity volume, Brazil has the scale and an industry organised to export it; Mexico has the advantage of distance to the United States. Argentina comes in when the product needs development, mixes materials — wood with aluminium, iron, glass or upholstery — and requires a finish that holds batch after batch. We produce all five under one roof, which is what removes the need to coordinate four suppliers for a single piece.

Yes, and it is half the work. We take a drawing, a prototype or a physical sample, and return the production breakdown with the tolerances we will hold. If something in the drawing cannot be produced in series at the cost you are after, we say so before quoting.

We produce as a fabricator, with panels certified by an EPA-recognised third party. The distinction matters: the certificate belongs to the panel and its producer, not to us. The conformity label applied at the point of manufacture is set up with the first programme that calls for it, and goes into the schedule from the start.

The first takes longer than the ones after it, and the time does not go into producing: it goes into developing and approving the first unit. With the detail settled, a run is counted in weeks. Planned separately is the paperwork for entry into the destination country, which is usually the critical path rather than production.

Tooling developed for a product stays assigned to that product and that client, and it is agreed in writing before starting, along with what happens if the programme is interrupted. The design belongs to the client; what we bring is how it gets made. We work under a confidentiality agreement when asked, which in product development is the norm.

Both. We can start from a drawing, a prototype or a sample, and also from an idea that has to be turned into something producible in series. Nothing goes into production without an approved first unit.
