Angel Yeast Invests in New Enzyme Project

Angel Enzyme Preparation (Yichang) Co., Ltd. is constructing a new green manufacturing project in Angel Biotechnology Industrial Park, Xiaoting District, Yichang City, China. Once complete, the project, which started in September 2021, will have an annual enzyme production output of 5,000 tons for the Enzyme preparations and biotechnology industry.

The new green manufacturing project will cover 80 hectares and has a planned total investment of RMB 340 million. The project will use advanced global manufacturing technology to establish a sustainable and intelligent manufacturing base for new enzyme preparations, and is estimated to be completed by Q4 2022. After being put into production, it is expected the project will generate RMB 350 million in annual revenue—including RMB 130 million in profits—and create 200 jobs.

"Angel Yeast's green manufacturing project marks a significant milestone for the company,” said Zhihong Du, general manager, Angel Enzyme Preparation and the leader of the project. “With this project, we will be able to meet the production capacity requirements of Angel Yeast's enzyme preparations business in the future, while also continuing to enhance our sustainability efforts. Using green and intelligent manufacturing processes, this project accelerates the pace of Angel Yeast's development as we strive to become a global professional biotech company.”

Angel Enzyme Preparation was established in 2021 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Angel Yeast and is registered in Yichang, Hubei Province. The company was originally founded in 2011 and served as a special enzyme preparation business department within Angel Yeast before becoming a subsidiary. And in 2012, Angel Yeast established its special enzyme preparation base.

By harnessing Angel Yeast's facilities and the flexibility of biological manufacturing, Angel Enzyme Preparation will engage in the R&D, production, and application of enzyme preparations and various biological products. In addition, the company will be a one-stop service for CDMOs seeking technology development, processing and production services; as well as customers wanting project incubation for custom products.
