Document background
The Manufacturing Service Agreement is essential for businesses operating in India that outsource their manufacturing processes to third-party manufacturers. This document is crucial when a company wants to engage a contract manufacturer to produce goods according to specific requirements while maintaining quality standards and protecting intellectual property. It's particularly relevant in India's growing manufacturing sector, where compliance with local regulations, including the Factories Act, Industrial Disputes Act, and quality control standards, is mandatory. The agreement should be used when establishing new manufacturing partnerships or formalizing existing manufacturing arrangements, ensuring all aspects of the manufacturing relationship are clearly defined and legally protected under Indian law.
