About Haiyan Zhou
Haiyan Zhou bridges China's most competitive medical manufacturers with the global healthcare market. As Product Sourcing Lead at Orantech Inc., she leads product sourcing in support of Medten, Orantech's sister company — one of its core competitive strengths — identifying and introducing the most competitive medical consumables and accessory products from China's specialized manufacturers, continuously expanding the product line to meet customer demand across a wider range of categories.
With 16 years of supply chain experience in medical accessories and parts, Haiyan brings deep expertise in global green compliance and environmental regulatory requirements — spanning EU MDR, REACH, and RoHS, US FDA and California Proposition 65, and China GB/T standards. She can meet and implement these requirements on a per-customer basis, including raw material traceability, hazardous substance risk screening (such as phthalates and halogens), and halogen-free and phthalate-free substitution — supporting customers whose products and markets require compliant access.
Her proven record includes managing 600+ suppliers across 50+ product categories, combined with more than 10 years of procurement department leadership — including maintaining uninterrupted supply of critical medical consumables through global supply chain disruptions.
As Purchasing Lead, she also oversees Orantech's supply chain — strengthening supplier management and refining procurement strategies to build a secure, reliable supply chain. Her dual role spans both the supply side (procurement and supplier management) and the demand side (product sourcing), placing her at the center of Medten's product competitiveness.
