A private label program means products are manufactured and sold entirely under your brand, with no reference to GOL. A co-branded program means both your brand and GOL's identity appear on the product or packaging. GOL supports both models, allowing manufacturers and distributors to choose the approach that best fits their channel strategy and brand goals.

Yes. GOL's core service is helping manufacturers and distributors launch outdoor lighting, audio, and accessory products under their own brand. GOL handles the entire backend — sourcing, manufacturing, compliance, packaging, and logistics — while your brand appears on all product-facing materials.

Yes. GOL offers exclusive product lines and custom OEM/ODM development as part of its program types. Through its contract manufacturing capabilities, GOL can develop proprietary designs, tooling, and SKUs that are unique to your brand and not available to other channel partners.

Yes. GOL provides packaging design support, including structural design to ensure products arrive safely and retail-ready artwork. GOL also supports catalog, website, and sales material development as part of its product launch services.

Yes. GOL works exclusively with manufacturers, distributors, and building material companies and brings channel-specific knowledge to product selection. GOL's team can help identify which SKUs from its white-label catalog — across low voltage lighting, outdoor audio, and outdoor living accessories — are best suited for your existing distribution channel and customer base.

Timelines vary by program type. Private label orders using GOL's existing catalog can typically be processed and shipped within 4–6 weeks. Fully custom OEM/ODM projects generally require 3–6 months, covering CAD design, prototyping, tooling, certification, and mass production. GOL provides a detailed project roadmap before work begins.

MOQs are flexible based on the manufacturing model. For private label (ready-made) products, GOL offers low MOQs to help partners test the market quickly. For custom manufacturing (OEM/ODM), MOQs are generally higher to offset tooling and setup costs. Specific MOQ requirements vary by product category and can be discussed with the GOL team.

Yes. GOL supports multiple levels of customization. At the lighter end, existing catalog products can be modified with your branding, packaging, and channel specifications. At the deeper level, GOL's in-house engineers can develop fully custom products from concept through tooling, using capabilities such as die-casting, injection molding, PCB design, and electronics assembly.

Yes. GOL's Design & Engineering team supports rapid 3D printing and CNC machining to test form and function before mass production. The process includes a "Golden Sample" sign-off stage before moving into mass manufacturing, ensuring the product meets specifications before full production runs.

Yes. GOL provides end-to-end import support, including freight forwarding (ocean FCL/LCL and air freight), customs clearance, duties coordination, and final delivery to your warehouse. GOL also offers DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) arrangements, providing an all-inclusive per-unit cost that covers all expenses to your door.

Yes. GOL supports forecasting and reorder planning as part of its inventory management services. The WMS provides live updates on stock levels and shipments, and GOL's team can assist with seasonal inventory planning and distributor replenishment programs.

Yes. GOL coordinates the full compliance process for outdoor product programs. This includes ETL/UL safety listings for low-voltage lighting and transformers, FCC and CE coordination for outdoor audio and Bluetooth devices, IP/weather resistance testing (IP65, IP67, IP68), RoHS/REACH environmental compliance, product labeling, and technical documentation. GOL manages communication with accredited testing laboratories such as Intertek, TUV, and UL.

The partner retains 100% ownership of their proprietary designs, molds, and tooling. GOL signs a comprehensive Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) before reviewing any concepts and enforces strict confidentiality protocols with its factory partners to ensure IP remains secure.

GOL signs NDAs before seeing any drawings or designs. Strict legal protocols are maintained with factory partners to safeguard proprietary designs. GOL's IP protection practices are highlighted as a core manufacturing advantage, with on-site engineers monitoring production and enforcing confidentiality at the factory level.
