What Guilin Zizhu Latex Products does

Winner Guilin Latex Co., Ltd. (稳健(桂林)乳胶用品有限公司), formerly Guilin Zizhu Latex Products / Guilin Latex Factory, is a manufacturer of latex-based medical devices and consumer reproductive-health products headquartered in Guilin, Guangxi, China. The company was founded in 1966 by the former Ministry of Chemistry of the People's Republic of China and was acquired in June 2022 by Winner Medical (Shenzhen-listed, ticker 300888), becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary within Winner Medical's three-brand health-care portfolio. It operates two production bases in Guilin and Jingzhou with 15 efficient glove production lines and 7 condom linkage lines on a combined 230,000 sqm footprint, employing more than 800 staff of whom about 35% are technical professionals.

The product range spans three categories: (1) hand-protection medical devices — powdered and powder-free natural rubber examination gloves, sterile surgical gloves (natural latex, nitrile, and polyisoprene variants) using a proprietary thermoplastic-polyurethane coating (TPU), and orthopedic surgical glove sets, with stated capacity exceeding 600 million glove pairs per year; (2) reproductive health products under the GOBON brand — male condoms in ultra-thin (down to 0.004mm), studded, textured, lubricated, flavored, and specialty variants produced via an industry-only three-immersion molding process with automatic electronic pinhole inspection, with stated capacity of 700 million condoms per year; and (3) ancillary medical consumables including disposable B-ultrasound probe covers with a proprietary C-type locking ring, plus Lijiang-brand latex tubing and acoustic isolation membranes.

The business runs a B2B and B2G sales model: direct sales for major domestic healthcare tenders and UNFPA procurement, combined with an 800-distributor channel serving roughly 3,000 customers across 51 countries in North America, Europe, Asia, South America, Africa, and Oceania. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company is UNFPA's largest global condom supplier, accounting for two-thirds of UNFPA's global procurement volume, and holds a deep international certification stack (ISO 13485, CE, PPE, SABS, WHO/UNFPA PQ, INMETRO, UKCA, PATH GMP). Post-acquisition revenue ambition set by Winner Medical leadership is to exceed 1 billion RMB within three years, versus a 2021 reported revenue base of 321 million RMB.
