OEM and Private-Label SPC Flooring from Kermit

Kermit Floor offers OEM and private-label SPC flooring for businesses that want to supply a range under their own brand. The minimum wholesale order is one container, and the standard lead time is four weeks. The selected product, branding requirements and actual order schedule are established in the quotation.

A clear programme starts with three decisions: what product your customers need, how it will be presented under your brand, and which documents your sales channels require.

Define the product before the packaging

Begin with the intended market and use. A distributor planning a stocked range may need a different assortment from a contractor supplying one project. Send the required collection or appearance, technical specification, quantity and destination.

Record thickness, wear layer, format, backing and locking system as separate fields. Include any project-specific performance requirements. If you need a particular dimension, decor development or other customization, describe it as a requirement for review; it becomes part of the offer only when agreed.

Kermit also manufactures SPC skirting and wall panels. If your brand covers coordinated interior finishes, include those needs in the brief so the team can discuss the scope across product families.

Keep the branding brief specific

Explain how you plan to identify and present the product. Depending on the agreed scope, the discussion may include product names, carton artwork, label language, barcodes, sample identification and documents supplied to customers.

Separate your required items from optional ideas. Agree who prepares the artwork, who checks it and what constitutes approval. Retain the agreed product reference and branding files together so they can be used consistently for later orders.

OEM and private label describe a supply relationship. They do not, by themselves, establish unrestricted product development, exclusive territory rights or ownership of a decor. Any such requirement belongs in the commercial discussion and written agreement.

Match certification to the branded product

Send the proposed product reference and your market's documentation requirements to Kermit. Request the relevant documents and confirm their scope for the proposed order before making claims about the branded range.

For a branded range, also check how the product will be identified in documents and which labels your brand may use. SCS describes a separate assessment for FloorScore private-label certification; a manufacturer's certificate is not automatic permission to place another brand's name on that label. SCS private-label guidance.

Discuss the documentation requirement while the range is being scoped, rather than after packaging has been finalized.

Agree the first order and the reorder reference

Ask the quotation to state the selected product and branding scope, quantity, packing, price basis, payment terms, required documents and delivery responsibilities. Kermit's one-container MOQ and four-week standard lead time provide an initial planning reference; the order schedule should also state the timing relevant to your destination.

For reorders, keep a record of product codes, approved references and artwork versions. Describe any requested change explicitly instead of assuming that a familiar range name means every detail is unchanged.

Prepare your OEM enquiry

Use the sample and quotation brief to organize the details. Send Kermit's sales team:

• Your company, brand and target market.
• The product or range you want to supply.
• Technical requirements and any customization request.
• The first-order quantity and destination.
• Branding and label requirements.
• Required documents and samples.
• The required delivery date and expected reorder needs, if known.

Use the current catalogues as the starting point for product selection. A defined brief makes it possible to discuss an actual private-label programme and confirm what is included in the offer.
