# Creating a new Manufacturer in OpenCart 1.5

OpenCart allows you to create “**manufacturers**” to apply to your products you are selling. Anytime you create a manufacturer in OpenCart, the system allows you to apply products to them. If a customer wants to view all products for a specific manufacturer they can do so. By adding manufacturers to products this can help your website visitors find products easily. Setting up a new manufacturer is done in the OpenCart Dashboard.

1. [Log into your OpenCart Dashboard](/support/)
2. Go to **Catalog >> Manufacturers**
3. Click “**Insert**” in the top right corner
4. Fill in the **Manufacturer name**
5. Fill in the **SEO Keyword**
6. Select an Image for the manufacturer, you may need to upload an image
7. Click “**Save**“

At this point, you can edit any existing products or add new products with this manufacturer.
