To ensure the high quality and reliability of its premixes, De Heus sources a large number of ingredients from China. This allows the company to build more sustainable supply chains. Two strategic Chinese partners are Jiangxi Tianxin Pharmaceutical, a high-tech enterprise specialising in vitamin production, and Meihua Group, a global leader in amino acids for the feed industry. Kyle Wang, Deputy General Manager at Jiangxi Tianxin Pharmaceutical and Liang Yubo, Board Director at Meihua Group tell us how they work with De Heus to ensure a solid supply base so that customers remain competitive.

"The global market is an indispensable pillar of Meihua's development," says Liang. "50% of our feed amino acid sales depends on the global supply chain." Both companies are listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and Jiangxi Tianxin Pharmaceutical plans to use the capital market to boost its business development. "Tianxin plans to build a more perfect product matrix, deepen its cooperative relationships with partners across the supply chain, and further enhance the company's market competitiveness in the vitamin industry," says Kyle. Meihua has similar ambitions. "Meihua is in the world's top three in terms of amino acid production scale," says Liang. "We are committed to providing our customers with stable quality, quantity and price.

Commitment to quality

In addition to offering competitiveness for customers, quality is critical for both companies. “Quality and safety are the first criteria of production at Meihua,” explains Liang. “We are committed to providing our customers with stable quality and quantity, relatively stable price.
