Qinhuangdao Lihua Starch Co., Ltd.
Qinhuangdao Lihua Starch Co., Ltd. was founded in 1989 and transitioned from state-owned holding to a privately owned joint-stock enterprise in 2006. The company’s registered capital is 105 million yuan, and it currently employs 2,100 people. The company primarily uses corn as its raw material for deep processing. Its current corn-processing capacity stands at 1.35 million tons per year, enabling it to produce annually 900,000 tons of corn starch, 360,000 tons of glucose, 300,000 tons of maltodextrin, 100,000 tons of sorbitol, and 450,000 tons of various by-products such as protein powder. Its products are widely used in industries including food, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, animal feed, and aquaculture.
The company is located in Qinhuangdao City, Hebei Province, with a prime location backed by a vast granary and situated near a major seaport, giving it inherent geographical advantages. Not only does it boast abundant corn resources as raw materials, but it also enjoys highly convenient logistics and transportation infrastructure, including highways, railways, maritime routes, and air transport.
The company’s key production equipment has been imported from abroad, placing its equipment level among the leading ones in the same industry domestically. Its production process technology is well-established, enabling the formation of a closed-loop, deep-processing corn industry chain with a rational product structure.
The company boasts advanced pollutant treatment technologies, and its waste residues are fully utilized. After treatment, the emission levels of wastewater and exhaust gases are significantly lower than the relevant national ultra-low emission standards, ensuring compliance with environmental protection requirements. Meanwhile, the company strictly adheres to the "Work Safety Law," continuously enhancing its inherent safety level and having successfully passed the Level-2 acceptance inspection for safety standardization in Hebei Province.
In the future, the company will leverage its existing advantages—such as low raw material costs, efficient logistics, and a strong customer base—while integrating synthetic biology technologies to deepen its expertise in the field of raw materials for the greater health food industry, thereby establishing itself as a benchmark enterprise for high-quality development.
