The Manufacturer Codex
Who physically makes the product
A brand and a manufacturer are usually different companies. This codex documents the factories, using the WHO/UNFPA prequalified manufacturer registry as its backbone — the only public, official record of who is actually approved to make condoms for global procurement.
Last verified: August 2026
What this codex covers
- Founding, headquarters, and ownership of each manufacturer
- Public production capacity, where officially reported
- Which consumer brands each manufacturer supplies
- WHO/UNFPA prequalification status
- Certifications and quality standards held
What it does not cover
- No manufacturer ranked as better or worse than another
- No unverified or estimated production figures presented as fact
- No commercial contact for placing manufacturing orders
The flagship feature
Who really makes what
The single most useful thing this site will do: a cross-reference showing which factory sits behind which brand. Karex Berhad alone supplies condoms to marketing brands including Durex, in addition to owning brands like ONE and Pasante directly — a fact publicly documented but rarely connected for a general reader.
This map is scheduled for Sessions 13–16 and will be built entirely from the WHO/UNFPA Prequalified Male Condom Manufacturers registry and corporate disclosure, never from inference.
