Herbalife Opens New Chinese Factory

China CSR:

Herbalife Ltd. held a ground-breaking ceremony in Changsha, Hunan, for its state-of-the-art extraction facility for botanical extracts, powders and pure compounds to be used in its inner and outer nutrition products.

Herbalife’s 80,000 sq. ft. facility in Changsha will be capable of processing approximately 8,000 metric tons of raw materials annually through extraction, purification and drying of powders and liquids. The new plant will reportedly create approximately 120 local jobs.

The new facility, expected to open in the second half of 2011, is part of the company’s ‘seed to feed’ strategy for quality control, purity, and traceability on all ingredients throughout its supply chain. The facility is a joint venture with NatSource Chemicals and its principal Dr. Qun Yi Zheng, Ph.D., a leading expert in the field of extraction and processing of natural compounds for use in food, supplements and pharmaceuticals.
