LinkedIn Post — 2026-10-20 (topic: OEM/ODM custom commissions — wooden handcrafted sets)
A distributor once sent me a sketch on a napkin. A knight with a different mane, a base a millimetre wider. Three months later it was a moulded, weighted, felted production set — theirs alone.
That's the part of this factory most buyers never see: the custom side. Walnut and brass sets carved piece by piece for private commissions, club crests cut into a production line, a retailer's house design turned into an exclusive SKU.
Twenty-five years of making nothing but chess equipment means the custom work runs on the same discipline as the tournament line — same weighting, same felting, same QC. Custom doesn't mean loose.
If you sell chess, a set nobody else has is the strongest shelf you own. Send the sketch. We make the rest.
