The company behind the platform

Meihua Bio Co., Ltd.

Meihua Bio is a biotechnology company that produces amino acids and fermentation ingredients at industrial scale. The company operates three manufacturing bases in China's corn belt — Tongliao (Inner Mongolia), Wujiaqu (Xinjiang), and Baicheng (Jilin) — with roughly 6 million tonnes of annual corn processing capacity and more than 4 million tonnes of amino acid capacity. Its lysine and threonine capacities rank first globally, and its MSG capacity ranks second. In July 2025 the company completed the acquisition of Kyowa Hakko Bio's food, pharmaceutical amino acid, and HMO businesses, adding arginine, histidine, citrulline and other pharmaceutical-grade amino acids along with their fermentation strains and regulatory registrations.

Annual corn processing volume across three corn-belt manufacturing bases.

4M+ tonnes

Annual amino acid production capacity across the group's fermentation plants.

Manufacturing footprint

Manufacturing footprint

Locating plants beside corn and energy resources keeps feedstock costs low and supply stable. Each base runs the full chain from corn processing through fermentation, extraction, and finishing.

Tongliao, Inner Mongolia

MSG, threonine, valine, and other amino acids. The group's original large-scale base.

Wujiaqu, Xinjiang

Amino acids, xanthan gum, and corn co-products, with ongoing isoleucine and xanthan upgrades.

Baicheng, Jilin

Lysine, xanthan gum, and corn co-products. A 600,000-tonne lysine expansion is under phased construction.

Post-acquisition entities

Following the Kyowa Hakko Bio transaction, the company's amino acid operations also include entities in Shanghai, Thailand, and North America serving pharmaceutical and high-value nutrition markets.

Portfolio breadth

Product families

The same strain design, fermentation, and purification platform supports all four families, which is why documentation and supply coordination can be handled through one contact point.

Animal nutrition amino acids

Lysine, threonine, valine, and isoleucine for feed formulation — the company's largest revenue segment.

Umami & food ingredients

MSG, I+G flavor enhancer, trehalose, and related taste-optimization products.

Colloids & polysaccharides

Xanthan gum (food and industrial grade), pullulan, and trehalose for food, oilfield, and specialty applications.

Pharmaceutical & specialty amino acids

Glutamine, proline, nucleosides (inosine, guanosine, adenosine), and the expanded Kyowa Hakko portfolio of pharmaceutical-grade amino acids.

Compliance & quality systems

Certifications & compliance

Certification scope varies by product and facility. The quality team confirms the applicable certificates for your product and destination during documentation review.

Quality & food safety

ISO 9001 quality management and ISO 22000 food safety management across the group's ingredient operations.

Feed & pharma compliance

FAMI-QS for feed ingredients; GMP compliance and API registrations in multiple markets for pharmaceutical amino acids gained through the Kyowa Hakko acquisition.

Religious & market certifications

Halal and Kosher certifications available for the relevant product lines and facilities.

Documentation support

TDS, SDS, COA templates, and market-specific regulatory documents issued per product, grade, and destination.
