B2B sourcing, OEM development & marketing · Since 2012
Since 2012, ESP Innovations has traveled the world to find unique products and partnered with the companies that make them. We create OEM products for businesses, build products under our own brands, and help our clients plan how to market and sell them to their customers. Much of our work happens behind the scenes, under our clients’ names.
Our role in the market
ESP Innovations works alongside manufacturing companies from the earliest stage of a product. We help find the right product, develop and design it, make sure it meets US certification and compliance requirements, with third-party testing as needed, manage the logistics from the factory to the United States, and help build the marketing plan to sell it.
We start at the beginning: identifying products and manufacturing partners with real potential for US business buyers.
We work with the manufacturer to shape the product for the US, including features, materials, power, sizing and packaging.
We make sure every product meets US certification and compliance requirements, arranging third-party lab testing as needed, and refine samples until they meet and aim to exceed what US buyers expect.
We stay involved through production, quality checks, freight and import, moving the product from the manufacturing company to the US.
We help our clients put together a marketing plan to sell the product to their customers, from positioning and packaging to launch.
Finding products at an international trade show
How we work with you
We create OEM products for businesses: products developed with our manufacturing partners and built to your specifications, under your brand name and packaging. Your brand is on the box; our role stays behind the scenes.
We also develop products under the brands ESP Innovations has created, such as our ESPi line of mobile accessories and power, and supply them to business buyers.
Getting the product made is only half the job. We help our clients build a marketing plan to sell the product to their customers.
Hire ESPi to take an honest look at the products you sell today and help you build what comes next. We review your current line with your team, find what’s working, what’s fading and where the gaps are, then use our worldwide sourcing network to develop your next line of products.
Confidential, like all our work. Scoped and quoted for your business.
Who we are · Since 2012
The most interesting products often appear in factories, workshops and trade halls around the world long before they reach the US. We go there in person, find the standouts, and work side by side with their makers to get them ready for American buyers. We work strictly business to business: we supply companies, not consumers.
Behind the scenes
ESP Innovations operates behind the scenes. Many of our clients outsource their product sourcing, development, compliance and logistics to us, and most prefer that what we do for them stays private. Their brand goes on the product. We do the work that gets it there.
That’s why the products on this site are only the ones we’re able to share. Most of our client work isn’t shown here.
Track record · Since 2012
For more than a decade, ESPi has worked with manufacturers to get products like these ready for the US, as OEM products for business clients and under our own brands such as ESPi, and into the hands of business buyers: distributors, wholesalers and retail chains. These are the products we’re able to share; most of our client work stays confidential.

Product finds
From pocket accessories to smart home systems, these are the categories we search every trip.
Where we source
International expos and product shows where new ideas surface first.

Small studios and inventors building things nobody else has.
The shops and stalls where locals find the products they love.
Cities where new product design and craft come together.
Quality, certification & compliance
Bringing a product into the US is a commitment. We make sure it meets the US certifications and compliance requirements that apply to it, and arrange independent third-party testing as needed, before anything ships at scale.
For US distributors, wholesalers & retail buyers
Tell us what your customers want. We find it or create it as an OEM product under your brand, have it made right for the US, and help you build the marketing plan to sell it to your customers.
For makers worldwide
Have a great product? We work with you to adapt it, build it and bring it to US buyers the right way. Write to us at partners@espinnovations.com.
Questions buyers ask
Don’t see your question? Ask us directly or email sales@espinnovations.com and we’ll get back to you.
No. ESP Innovations works business to business only. We supply and develop products for distributors, wholesalers, retail buyers and brands, and partner with manufacturers outside the US.
Yes. We’re happy to sign a non-disclosure agreement before you share product details, and we keep every client relationship confidential by default.
Minimums depend on the product, the manufacturer and how much is custom. Once we understand what you need, we’ll give you the options and the minimums that come with each.
It depends on the stage you’re starting from. Sourcing an existing product moves faster than developing a new one with custom tooling, testing and packaging. We share a timeline with each step before work begins.
We identify the requirements that apply to your product, such as FCC, UL and CPSC, and arrange independent third-party lab testing as needed. We don’t ship at scale until the product meets them. For certificates or test reports on an existing order, email compliance@espinnovations.com.
Your brand, logo and packaging stay yours. Ownership of custom designs, molds and tooling is agreed in writing before development starts, so there are no surprises later.
Yes. In a product line review, we look at the products you sell today with your team, recommend what to keep, refresh or retire, and bring you new product ideas from our worldwide network. Then we can develop, test, certify and deliver your next line. See how it works.
Every project is quoted for your account, based on the product, quantities, customization, testing and shipping. There are no one-size-fits-all price lists. To request a quote, email sales@espinnovations.com.
Yes. We help you build a marketing plan to sell the product to your customers, from positioning and packaging to sales materials and launch planning.
What’s new in tech & AI
We track the products, technology and supply-chain shifts that affect what US businesses will sell next. Here are the stories that caught our eye this week, and what they mean for buyers.Updated November 2, 2026
The FCC voted to bar test labs and certification bodies in China, and in other economies without a reciprocal agreement with the US, from testing electronics for the US market. More than 80% of US-bound electronics are tested in China today.
Why it matters to buyersFCC testing is required before most electronics can be sold in the US. Brands should start planning now for where their products will be tested after 2028.
Read on The StarOpenAI says Terra is built for computer-based tasks like filling out forms, reading technical drawings and drafting proposals. Its standard API price is 50% lower than the earlier GPT-5.6 Terra.
Why it matters to buyersCheaper, faster AI makes it easier to add smart features to products and to automate paperwork across the supply chain.
Read on OpenAIThe contract price of a mainstream DDR4 memory chip rose 5.77% to $27.50, a record, as makers shift output to AI servers. TrendForce expects PC memory prices to climb another 13% to 18% this quarter.
Why it matters to buyersAny product with memory inside is getting more expensive to build. Locking in specs and orders early helps protect margins.
Read on Chosun BizAfter a Section 232 probe, the president directed officials to negotiate with trading partners instead of adding tariffs right away. They must report progress within 180 days, and tariffs remain an option.
Why it matters to buyersDuties on machinery and parts are on hold for now, but not off the table. Six months is a useful window to review sourcing.
Read on Supply Chain DiveThe lineup includes the $200 Echo Time, the $230 Alexa Photo Frame, a $100 Echo Dot and a camera-equipped Echo Studio. Several work as smart home hubs with Matter, Thread and Zigbee support.
Why it matters to buyersMatter and Thread support is becoming standard. Smart home accessories that skip it risk being left out of major ecosystems.
Read on ZDNETThe glasses weigh under 95 grams and connect by cable to a pocket compute unit with a new Snapdragon chip. They bring Gemini and Google Play apps to the wearer’s view, with shipping starting mid-November.
Why it matters to buyersSmart glasses are moving into mainstream retail, opening room for cases, cables, chargers and other accessories.
