Document background
The Manufacturing and Supply Agreement is a crucial document used to establish a formal manufacturing and supply relationship between a manufacturer and a buyer/customer under Swiss law. This agreement is essential when a company needs to outsource the manufacturing of specific products or components, or when establishing a long-term production relationship. It comprehensively covers all aspects of the manufacturing process, from production specifications and quality standards to commercial terms and regulatory compliance. The document is particularly important in Switzerland's sophisticated manufacturing sector, where precision, quality, and reliability are paramount. It incorporates requirements from the Swiss Code of Obligations and relevant industrial regulations, while addressing key aspects such as intellectual property protection, quality control procedures, pricing mechanisms, and risk allocation. The agreement serves as both a legal framework and an operational guide, ensuring clear understanding and alignment between parties while providing necessary protections under Swiss law.
