Xiamen logistics

Shipped from a major export hub

Xiamen is one of China’s major container ports, with established air and sea freight links. Our manufacturer builds close to it, so stock leaves the factory and reaches export quickly.

  • Short distance from factory to port and airport
  • Established export and customs processes
  • Air freight for implants and instruments

Our commitmentA healthy supply chain, with a growing network of air-freight partners.

Air freight as standard

Implants and instruments travel by air with our freight partners, so restocking never waits on a shipping schedule.

More than one route

We keep adding freight partners and lanes. If one route is delayed, another can carry the stock.

Checked at every handover

Each consignment arrives with its batch and lot records. We check it against the order before it goes into stock.

Held in South Africa

Case stock is kept locally and tracked by case, batch and site, so it’s ready when your list is.
