Anyone on here know any manufacturer's of condoms? I have been searching the net and can't find much information.

Any leads in China or India appreciated.

Condoms will require the CE mark.
Retail/Manufacturer brands in the UK are Durex (SSL), Mates (Ansell), Trojan (Church & Dwight), Condomania (Sexual Health Group), Condomi, and Pasante. The last two are worth considering as they are big suppliers to the NHS. There is a Condom City in China (where almost the entire factory output is devoted to condom production), and you'll need a Chinese trade contact to establish contact.

If you are considering retail, you're going to need a heck of a USP. Channels are very restricted, and Durex dominates - even Boots & Superdrug own brands have barely scraped a market share.

If you are looking for promotional use, it's certainly interesting as unit price on decent volumes is just a few pennies. One of the suppliers above does its own promo pack (like a matchbook), traceable from its website. You could also do it yourself. However, remember that staple mounting is unwise (true story).
