China is the world's largest producer of disposable syringes, supplying national immunization programs, hospital groups, and medical distributors on every continent. For a buyer, that scale is both the opportunity and the problem: thousands of factories list "syringe" in their profiles, but only a fraction own their production lines, hold certifications that will survive a tender audit, and can hold quality steady across millions of units per day.
This guide reviews ten of the most credible disposable syringe manufacturers in China for 2026 — including state-backed conglomerates, listed companies, and focused source factories — and ends with a practical checklist for importers.
Rankings built on advertising budgets are of little use in procurement, so this list is filtered on verifiable criteria:
Ownership of production. Every company below manufactures in-house rather than trading under a factory front.
Certification depth. ISO 13485 with syringe-relevant scope, CE marking, and — where applicable — FDA registration or equivalent approvals in export markets.
Capacity and consistency. Demonstrated ability to produce at scale with automated lines and cleanroom assembly, not workshop-level output.
Export track record. Documented shipments to regulated and semi-regulated markets, not just domestic tenders.
Product relevance. Disposable hypodermic syringes (with needle or without) as a core line, not an afterthought category.
Founded in 1988 in Weihai, Shandong, WEGO is one of the largest medical device groups in China and is listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Its consumables portfolio spans disposable syringes, infusion sets, hypodermic needles, blood bags and pre-filled syringes, backed by ISO 13485, CE, and FDA-listed production across multiple plants. WEGO supplies domestic hospitals at national scale and exports to more than 100 countries.
Best for: buyers consolidating a full consumables program (syringes plus infusion sets, needles, and surgical kits) under one large supplier.
Established in 1987 and listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange (603987), KDL is best known for medical puncture devices — needles, syringes, IV catheters, and lancets — with a complete in-house supply chain from needle grinding to final assembly. The company holds more than 200 patents, participates in drafting Chinese national standards, and exports to over 50 countries.
Best for: buyers who want syringes and needles sourced from the same vertically integrated group, particularly for private-label hospital kits.
Founded in 1988, Changzhou Medical Appliances General Factory Co., Ltd. — brand name LELUN — is a dedicated syringe and needle factory based in Changzhou, Jiangsu, one of China's densest clusters of medical consumables manufacturing. Unlike diversified conglomerates, syringes and needles are the company's core business, not one line among hundreds.
Capacity that changes negotiations. Output of about 4 million syringes and 6 million needles per day means large tender quantities can be scheduled without factory refusals or quality shortcuts during peak season.
Full product architecture.Disposable syringes 1–100 ml (luer slip and luer lock), with fixed needles 16G–27G, safety syringes, auto-disable syringes for immunization programs, and insulin syringes with fixed needles in 0.3/0.5/1 ml — see the insulin syringe product page for a concrete example of the range.
Certification set for export. ISO 13485, CE marking, TGA, and GMP, with Free Sales Certificates available to support registration in destination markets.
OEM depth. Private-label packaging, custom printed barrels, Spanish-language labeling for Latin American buyers, and free samples before contract.
MOQ of 200,000 pieces per specification — low enough for a serious first trial order, high enough to keep per-unit pricing competitive.
Best for: importers, distributors, and tender bidders who want a single-product-focus factory with tender-scale capacity, OEM flexibility, and documentation ready for market registration. Explore the full range at syringe-china.com.
Shenli is a Jiangsu-based syringe specialist with a long history of manufacturing for international safety-syringe brands, including the SOL-Millennium group. Its portfolio covers standard disposable syringes, safety syringes, and auto-disable designs, with export documentation oriented toward regulated markets.

Products carry FDA clearance and are engineered to prevent needlestick injuries and syringe reuse, with strong acceptance in North American and UN procurement channels.
Best for: buyers targeting US-regulated markets or programs where retractable safety technology is specified.
Nipro Corporation of Japan operates manufacturing and distribution across China as part of its global consumables network. Its syringe portfolio includes standard hypodermic syringes, insulin syringes, and safety designs, produced under Japanese-origin quality systems with certifications spanning the US, EU, and Japan.
Best for: buyers who prefer Japanese-managed quality systems and can accept a higher price band in exchange for brand recognition in hospital channels.
Founded in 1997 and listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange (300453), Sanxin is a large disposable medical device manufacturer best known for blood purification products and infusion/delivery devices, including disposable syringes. The group holds multiple proprietary patents and serves both China's domestic hospital base and export markets.

Ask for the ISO 13485 certificate and check two things: the certification body's accreditation, and whether the scope explicitly covers hypodermic syringes. A factory certified only for, say, surgical dressings cannot lawfully claim that scope for syringes. For CE, confirm the notified body number on the EU NANDO database.
Ask for the daily output of the specific line you are buying, in writing. A factory producing 4 million syringes per day (LELUN-level scale) can absorb an urgent 10-million-piece tender add-on; a workshop-level supplier the same size as your order will quietly subcontract — and your quality system never audits the subcontractor.
Compare quotes on delivered cost: product price + sea freight (a 40HQ container to Latin America or Europe typically adds USD 2,800–4,200 at recent rate ranges) + duties + registration and testing costs. A quote 8% cheaper at FOB frequently loses after sterilization validation fees, slower production, or higher defect allowances are factored in.
Before the first purchase order, request: the ISO 13485 certificate with scope, CE documentation, a Free Sales Certificate, the biocompatibility and sterilization validation summaries (EO residuals per ISO 10993-7 or gamma dose audit), and a recent batch test report against ISO 7886-1. Factories that hesitate at this stage are telling you something useful.
Reputable source factories — LELUN among them — provide free samples. Evaluate smoothness of plunger travel, graduation print durability after alcohol swabbing, needle-needle hub bond strength, and packaging integrity after an accelerated aging cycle. For related background, see the factory's own product documentation and the previously published Top 8 syringe companies in China overview on this site.
LELUN manufactures 4 million syringes and 6 million needles per day in Changzhou, exports to 60+ countries, and supports OEM packaging with registration documents for your market. Free samples are available for serious buyers.
View Products & Request a QuoteBy total group revenue, Shandong Weigao (WEGO) is generally regarded as China's largest medical device group with syringes in its portfolio. Among syringe-focused factories, dedicated manufacturers such as LELUN produce several million units per day and compete primarily on capacity, OEM flexibility, and export documentation rather than brand size.
Minimum: ISO 13485 with a scope covering syringes, valid CE marking under the EU MDR, and a Free Sales Certificate for export registration. For the US market, confirm FDA establishment registration and, where applicable, 510(k) clearance for the specific device.
Source factories usually quote 100,000–500,000 pieces per specification. LELUN's published MOQ is 200,000 pieces per specification, which typically fills one to two pallets and is a practical size for a first trial order with sample-to-order continuity.
Plan for 20–35 days of production plus sterilization release, then 25–40 days of sea freight to Europe or the Americas. A realistic door-to-door timeline from order confirmation to arrival is 2–3 months, so tender deadlines should be built backwards from the delivery date.
Yes. Leading manufacturers produce the full spectrum: standard luer slip and luer lock syringes 1–100 ml, auto-disable syringes for immunization programs, insulin syringes with fixed needles in 0.3/0.5/1 ml (U-40 and U-100 graduations), and safety-engineered designs. Confirm each format is inside the factory's certificate scope, not just its catalogue.
China's syringe industry offers buyers every tier, from diversified conglomerates like WEGO to single-product source factories like LELUN. The right choice depends less on the logo and more on three questions: Can the factory prove it manufactures what it sells? Can it prove compliance for your destination market? Can it hold capacity and quality steady when your tender doubles overnight? A dedicated syringe factory producing millions of units daily — with ISO 13485/CE certification, OEM capability, and a 60-country export record — answers all three with evidence rather than promises.
