YICHANG, CHINA — Angel Enzyme Preparation, a nutrition solutions supplier for the baking industry and subsidiary of Angel Yeast is well underway with construction on its new green manufacturing project. The company broke ground in September 2021, and once it’s complete, the project will have an annual enzyme production output of 5,000 tons.

This project will enhance Angel Enzyme’s competitive advantage in the enzyme preparations and biotechnology industry, and the baking industry stands to benefit, too. With more supply to meet demand, this output could help bakers with ingredient acquisition during a time of unprecedented supply chain disruption.

Angel Enzyme Preparation’s new green manufacturing project will cover 80 hectares (approx. 197.68 acres) and has a planned total investment of 340 million Chinese yuan (approx. $54.16 million USD). 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 create 200 jobs and generate 350 million Chinese yuan (approx. $54.94 million USD) in annual revenue.

With more supply to meet demand, this output could help bakers with ingredient acquisition during a time of unprecedented supply chain disruption.

“Our green manufacturing project marks a significant milestone for the company,” said Zhihong Du, general manager of Angel Enzyme Preparation and the leader of the 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.”

Looking ahead, Angel Yeast plans to focus on diversifying its production capabilities with a focus on yeast, health food ingredients, nutritious health foods and the development of new biological technologies.
