Question 1

What does SERES Group do?

Accepted Answer

SERES Group is a B2B service company specialised in custom electromechanical products, operating across two pillars. The first is Product Development & Supply: covering the full cycle from feasibility study, design for manufacturing (DFM), prototyping, mass production, quality assurance and logistics, in ODM, JDM, OEM or value-added engineering models. The second is Industrial Alliances: supplier qualification, technology IP licensing, M&A advisory, market development, and cross-border industrial strategy between Europe and Asia.

Question 2

Who does SERES Group work with?

Accepted Answer

SERES Group works with three types of clients. Startups and scale-ups that have a validated hardware prototype and need to move to serial production in Asia. SMEs that need to optimise their global supply chain without the overhead of a local subsidiary. And corporates and listed industrial groups that need speed, flexibility and local execution on both continents with their IP protected. Clients include ITW, AGFA, Xerox, Inkcups, E2 Drives, PSA Peugeot Citroën, and The Faktory.

Question 3

What is the difference between ODM, JDM, OEM and value-added engineering at SERES Group?

Accepted Answer

SERES Group adapts to the client's level of design ownership. ODM (Original Design Manufacturing) means SERES takes full design responsibility. JDM (Joint Design Manufacturing) means the design is co-developed between the client and SERES. Value-added engineering means SERES improves or adapts an existing client design for manufacturability. OEM means pure manufacturing execution based on the client's complete design. All four models are available across the EU-Asia supply chain.

Question 4

Where is SERES Group located?

Accepted Answer

SERES Group is headquartered in Brussels, Belgium, with its Asia headquarters in Hong Kong and offices in Shenzhen and Shanghai, close to factories and suppliers. This enables local support, sourcing, QC inspection and project management on both continents.

Question 5

How does SERES Group protect client IP?

Accepted Answer

As a pure service company with no own products, SERES Group has no competing agenda. It does not market or brand its own products, which eliminates the conflict of interest common in trading companies. SERES acts as an intermediary that filters and distributes know-how under full confidentiality, ensuring there is no IP leakage to competitors or to the market.

Question 6

What industries does SERES Group serve?

Accepted Answer

SERES Group is multi-sector and has delivered projects in automotive (PSA Peugeot Citroën), industrial printing (AGFA, Inkcups), building and construction tools (ITW), e-mobility (E2 Drives), home appliances, and mechatronics. The common thread is custom electromechanical products requiring EU-Asia industrial execution.

Question 7

What is SERES Group's revenue model?

Accepted Answer

SERES Group's fee model is flexible and results-oriented: fixed fees (time-based or budgeted) combined with variable, success-linked components such as commissions, success fees, trading margins or equity participation. Its earnings are tied to the outcome of the client's project.
