Sourcing and Manufacturing Medical Devices in China
Today there are a number of Western medical device companies sourcing and manufacturing their products in China. The reason for this is twofold — 1) to reduce the cost of components and finished medical device products; and 2) to make or source medical device products for sale in the growing domestic Chinese market.
Finding the right factories, subcontractors, and/or setting up your own facilities locally takes patience and lots of due diligence. How do you know if the supplier is reliable and has quality systems based on international standards? If you help the supplier improve their manufacturing processes so you can import a better medical device product, how can you be sure that manufacturer will not also sell such products to your competitors?
