The Manufacturer and Supplier Agreement is a crucial document for businesses operating in the Philippines' manufacturing sector, establishing the legal and operational framework for production and supply relationships. This agreement is essential when a company needs to formalize its manufacturing arrangements, whether for domestic production or export purposes, ensuring compliance with Philippine regulations including the Consumer Act, Environmental Compliance Certificate Requirements, and Labor Code. The document typically covers all aspects of the manufacturing relationship, from production specifications and quality standards to pricing mechanisms and risk allocation.
