DOER NEEDLE is a leading felting needle manufacturer from Xiamen, China. We produce 11 categories of precision nonwoven needles across 520+ active SKUs, serving B2B customers in 30+ countries -- from automotive and carpet to filtration and geotechnical industries. Operated by 150+ needle specialists on a 30,000 m² integrated manufacturing campus.
From a single-line workshop on the southeast coast of China to a 30,000 m² integrated manufacturing campus -- the DOER NEEDLE story is one of deliberate growth, never of distraction.
DOER NEEDLE was founded in 2014 in Xiamen, a strategic deep-water port city that connects Chinese manufacturing to every major nonwoven market on earth. From the day we opened our doors, we made one commitment: this factory would do one thing, and we would never stop getting better at it.
Twelve years later, that commitment has produced what we believe is one of the most complete felting needle manufacturing operations in Asia. Our 30,000 m² integrated campus in Xiamen houses the full needle-making process under one roof -- wire drawing, cold forging, annealing, multi-stage forming, tunnel furnace heat treatment, polishing and precision packing. Every step, every operator, every quality gate, optimized for a single product category.
Today, 150 specialists work in shifts across our campus. We export to nonwoven producers in 30+ countries across Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and the CIS region. Our part numbers -- from the standard 15x18x40x3 R222 to highly customized barb patterns for special applications -- number more than 520 active SKUs. Each one is a precision-engineered tool that has to perform in conditions most factories never see.
Behind every shipment is a team that knows its craft at the level of a single micron. We have invested in metallurgical expertise, in-house tooling, on-site QC laboratories, and a sales engineering team that talks to customers about fiber, GSM and barb spacing -- not just price. This is the company DOER NEEDLE has become, and we are still very much building it.

A campus built around one product line.

-- 04 HOW WE MAKE THEM
Seven controlled stages, one needle in hand.
Every DOER needle is the product of a seven-stage integrated process on our Xiamen campus. No outsourced forming, no off-site heat treatment -- vertical control is how we keep tolerances consistent across 520+ active SKUs.
01
Wire drawing
High-grade steel
wire drawn to
precise gauge
tolerances for the
target needle size.
02
Cold forging
Wire is cold-formed
under high pressure
to establish needle
blank density and
structure.
03
Annealing
Heat-softering
treatment restores
ductility, preparing
the blank for the next
forming operations.
04
Multi-stage forming
Four sequential
precision operations
build the needle's
working geometry.
------------------------------
Shank bending
Triangle forming
Tip sharpening
Barb forming
05
Tunnel furnace
heat treatment
Continuous tunnel
furnace for
controlled
hardening and
tempering to spec.
06
Polishing
Surface finishing for
low friction,
dimensional
consistency and
corrosion
resistance.
07
Final packing
Sample-based
dimensional check,
full batch
traceability, export-
ready packaging.

-- 08 WHY DOER
Three reasons our customers stay with us.
The needle business runs on trust. Most of our long-term customers came to us because of one of these three reasons -- and most of them are still with us for the same reason.
One of the most complete ranges in Asia
11 needle categories, 520+ active SKUs, gauges 18G-46G, lengths 2.5"-7.0" all manufactured on a single 30,000 m^2 integrated campus.
520+ active SKUs | 11 categories | 30,000 m^2 single campus
Engineering depth, not just sales
Send us your fiber, GSM, line speed and target felt density. Our 150-strong team includes sales engineers who spec the right needle -- gauge, barb type, barb spacing, length, point style -- and explain why.
