Minwen Fire · project supply and OEM
Private-label manufacturing and full-BOQ supply for distributors, engineering procurement companies and own-brand buyers. Six product lines from one factory — and a clear statement of which of them can carry your brand, and which can carry a CE mark.
The situation
A private-label programme rarely fails on price. It fails when the second batch does not match the first, when a certificate the brand promised turns out not to exist for that line, or when the factory’s name appears on a carton at the customer’s door.
Branding capability is per line, not per factory. Screen print suits an extinguisher body, engraving suits a sprinkler, a nameplate suits a reel. The matrix below states which method applies where, so the artwork brief can be right the first time.
CE is available on two lines only. Sprinklers and alarm or deluge valves. A brand that markets CE across a whole catalogue has made a promise the manufacturing cannot back.
Confidential manufacturing has to be agreed, not assumed. Removing our branding from product and packaging is available and is a decision made at order stage, not discovered at inspection.
Who we work with
The product is the same; the support around it is not. Which of these you are decides the quotation format, the documentation package and how the reorder works.
Best for regional or national distributors building a branded range for contractors, installers and retail. Private-label packaging and labelling on extinguishers, hoses and cabinets; consistent specification across reorders from the same manufacturing team; CE-certified sprinklers and valves for European distribution; mixed-product container fills.

Best for supply companies, procurement services and systems integrators buying against a project BOQ. Full BOQ coverage from one manufacturer to cut vendor count, certification documentation for the project file, phased delivery matched to the site programme.

Best for fire protection companies, equipment brands and international procurement arms needing product made to their brand. Body labelling by screen print or laser engraving, custom individual boxes and export cartons, specification compliance to your product standard, and confidential manufacturing with no Minwen branding anywhere.

Branding method, packaging, CE position and minimum OEM quantity, line by line. Where CE is not available we say so here rather than in a clarification after the artwork is approved.

Evidence
For an own-brand programme the thing worth checking is not the first sample but whether the second batch matches it. Samples run on the standard lines with the same material specification as bulk.
Before you send it
Four inputs turn a branding idea into a quotable programme. Send artwork in AI or PDF where you have it.
Which lines carry the brand. The matrix above shows the labelling method per line. A programme spanning extinguishers and sprinklers uses two different methods and two different minimum quantities.
Artwork with dimensions and format. AI or PDF preferred, with the label size. Screen print, engraving and nameplate each constrain what the artwork can do.
Destination market and its certification requirement. This determines whether the CE lines are the ones you need, and what documentation has to travel with the goods.
Whether the programme is confidential. If our name must not appear anywhere, say so at order stage rather than at inspection — it changes packaging and marking, not just the label.
Common questions
Yes. Custom label or screen printing on the extinguisher body, custom packaging with your artwork on individual boxes and export cartons, and confidential manufacturing where our brand is not visible on product or packaging. Minimum OEM quantity on this line is 200 pcs.
Sprinklers and alarm or deluge valves. CE is not available for extinguishers, foam components, hoses, reels or cabinets, and it is not confirmed for hydrants — ask at inquiry for that line. Marketing CE across a whole own-brand catalogue would be a claim we cannot document.
200 pcs per model on most lines. Sprinklers are 2,000 pcs because of the production batch. A programme can mix lines within one purchase order, so the minimum applies per model rather than per programme.
Declaration of Conformity documents for the CE-certified lines are available within three business days of request, for project files, market compliance submissions and end-customer records.
Production specifications are held and the same manufacturing team runs the reorder, under ISO 9001 with documented inspection records per batch. If a specification has to change between batches we raise it rather than absorb it quietly.
Yes. All Minwen branding is removed from the product and the packaging and only your branding is applied. Confirm this at order stage, because it affects carton marking and shipping documents as well as the label.
Branded samples run 15–20 days from payment confirmation. Bulk production is 35–60 days from order confirmation. Custom packaging artwork should be approved before the production slot, since approval delays move the whole schedule.
Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia and Africa. If the destination market matters to your decision, ask and we will tell you what we have actually shipped there and what documentation went with it.
Yes, and for a first branded order it is the sensible route. A trial at the 200 pcs minimum on one line, with your artwork applied, shows you the labelling quality and the packaging before the range commitment. Sprinklers are the exception at 2,000 pcs, so a trial there is worth planning around rather than assuming.
Your artwork stays yours and is used only on your orders. Where a programme needs dedicated tooling we agree the arrangement in writing before production, including what happens to it if the programme ends.
Packing list, commercial invoice, certificate of origin, and product test certificates. Third-party pre-shipment inspection is supported if your programme or your customer requires it.
