A Century in the Making
A Short History of Sialkot’s Instrument Trade
How one district in Pakistan came to supply hospitals, clinics and studios across the globe.
Origins
A Trade Passed Down Through Families
Sialkot’s surgical instrument making began in small home workshops during the colonial era, when local metalworkers started producing tools for regional hospitals. What began as a craft passed from father to son grew into a full industry over the following decades.
Growth
From Local Supply to Global Export
As demand grew, workshops in Sialkot began exporting instruments abroad, first to nearby markets and later to Europe and North America. Today thousands of manufacturing units operate in and around the city, together forming one of the largest surgical instrument clusters in the world.
Today
The World’s Surgical Instrument Capital
Sialkot now supplies over 80 percent of the world’s surgical instruments, with Raipur, our own neighbourhood, home to some of the district’s most established manufacturing families. MedForge Instruments is proud to carry that legacy forward with every instrument we make.
