Sourcing & Manufacturing

Reliable, Cost-Effective Medical Product Sourcing in Asia

Asia has become the global hub for manufacturing medical devices, components, pharmaceuticals, and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). However, finding dependable suppliers or contract manufacturers in Asia requires more than a simple search. Without rigorous due diligence, poor sourcing decisions can lead to quality issues, regulatory violations, and reputational damage.

Scansio offers end-to-end sourcing and supply chain management services across Asia. With decades of experience and established local teams on the ground, we help clients find qualified manufacturers, ensure quality control, and navigate local compliance with confidence.

Our Sourcing & Manufacturing Services Include:

Identifying the Optimal Sourcing Country
China and India dominate the Asian medical manufacturing landscape, but emerging markets like Vietnam also offer competitive costs and growing infrastructure. We assess your product’s technical and commercial requirements to determine the most cost-effective and strategic sourcing destination.

Initial Supplier Search & Qualification
We combine on-the-ground expertise with industry resources like trade shows, catalogs, and verified databases to find capable manufacturing partners. Our bilingual sourcing professionals thoroughly evaluate suppliers beyond surface-level information found online.

Contacting & Evaluating Suppliers
We conduct pre-screening via phone and email to assess supplier legitimacy, financial stability, licenses, and capabilities. Our team ensures that only trustworthy suppliers progress to the next stage of evaluation.

On-Site Supplier Audits
Face-to-face facility visits remain the most reliable method to assess manufacturing quality and capacity. During audits, we verify business and production operations, certifications (ISO 13485, CE, etc.), and compliance with both local and international standards. We inspect everything from factory layout and hygiene to risk management practices and employee count.

Supplier Due Diligence & Reporting
We provide a detailed audit report summarizing our findings, including key contacts, certifications, main product lines, and facility capabilities. Each supplier is scored against our quality assessment criteria, and we help interpret the report with actionable recommendations.

Sample Procurement & Review
We ensure that all product specifications, packaging, and labeling requirements are clearly understood and reflected in sample orders. This includes reviewing dimensions, raw materials, and printing details to match your expectations.

Sourcing Agreement Support
Scansio helps negotiate favorable terms, including MOQs, unit pricing, packaging costs, tooling fees, and payment terms. We work on your behalf to finalize agreements that are transparent, enforceable, and aligned with your business goals.

Quality Assurance Inspections
Our QC inspectors perform pre-shipment inspections to verify production quality and accuracy. We develop inspection schedules, maintain compliance records, and manage inspections either at the manufacturer or freight forwarding location.

Ongoing Supplier Management
Even after production begins, we provide ongoing oversight to ensure product quality remains consistent and timelines are met. Our team acts as your eyes and ears on the ground to avoid costly issues.

Scansio can provide full-service support for your sourcing and manufacturing needs or tailor our services to support specific areas of your supply chain. We also offer assistance in setting up wholly owned medical manufacturing operations in Asia.
