Our History

From a small warehouse to an orthopaedic manufacturer

Eight chapters — from Zhangjiagang to digital orthopaedics.

Kangli's story began in a small warehouse in Zhangjiagang. Through craftsmanship, perseverance, and a long-term commitment to orthopaedics, that early foundation grew into Suzhou Kangli Orthopaedics Instrument Co., Ltd.

Predecessor
Where it all began
Kangli's predecessor began operations in Zhangjiagang, in a single modest warehouse. Those formative years established the entrepreneurial spirit, manufacturing foundation, and commitment to quality that still shape Kangli today.
20022002 – 2003
Building the foundation for precision
Suzhou Kangli Orthopaedics Instrument Co., Ltd. was formally established in 2002. Kangli introduced its first Haas machining centre from the United States and a Citizen CNC turning centre from Japan — a decisive step towards high-precision orthopaedic manufacturing.
20042004 – 2008
Scaling advanced manufacturing
Continued investment expanded machining and automated turning capacity, giving Kangli a more robust platform for consistent quality, improved efficiency, and ongoing product development.
20092009 – 2012
Technology, quality, and recognition
Selected products completed applicable U.S. FDA registration processes. Kangli introduced 3D printing equipment, established a Jiangsu Provincial Graduate Student Workstation, and was recognised as a Jiangsu Provincial High-Tech Enterprise.
20132013 – 2016
Expanding beyond borders
Kangli integrated new technologies, expanded its orthopaedic portfolio, and gradually entered international markets, including the United States and Europe, building long-term relationships through reliable manufacturing and responsive cooperation.
20172017 – 2018
Advancing digital orthopaedics
Building on its experience in precision manufacturing and 3D printing, Kangli strengthened its capabilities in additive manufacturing and personalised, patient-specific design.
20192019
From R&D to product innovation
Kangli's 3D printing work expanded into the development of 3D-printed artificial joint products — an important milestone in its pursuit of personalised orthopaedic innovation.
20202020 – Today
Digital precision in clinical practice
Kangli works with hospitals and clinical partners on practical digital orthopaedic tools — patient-specific 3D-printed surgical guides and anatomically accurate bone models that turn CT and MRI data into physical references for personalised pre-operative planning.
