Manufacturers of power supplies can be divided into three groups. The first is those companies that design and manufacture their own products. Their minority. The second group - those who are engaged in product design, but the production is entrusted to a third-party company.

Often, an agreement assumes that a power supply unit manufactured under one brand name will be exclusive, and other products can be sold to other companies.
