EW Nutrition opens new production plant in China

On October 29, EW Nutrition officially opened its new production plant in China.

The new plant is the next step in the successful development of EWN Biotechnology Shanghai.

By offering holistic, science-backed solutions, EW Nutrition supports the Chinese industry in its effort to reduce antibiotic use.

"With this latest investment, we are offering a twofold benefit to our Chinese customers: bringing our high-value products closer to the end user, while implementing our policy of supporting antibiotic-free production in China," said Craige Allen, general manager of EWN Biotechnology Shanghai.

The new facility in Haimen will produce the three leading product lines in the company's portfolio. They represent EW Nutrition's answer to gut and respiratory health issues, as well as toxin risk management.

"We are pleased to bring our programmes closer to our customers, further increasing service levels," said Michael Gerrits, managing director of EW Nutrition. "But we are even more pleased and honored to bring here our mission of mitigating the impact of antimicrobial resistance by providing comprehensive animal nutrition solutions."

The virtual opening took place at the Melia Hotel in Shanghai, which was followed by a one and a half-day symposium on "Reducing Antibiotic Use and Mitigating the AMR Risk - 2020 Vision."

Speakers include Prof. Chen Junshi, Prof. Jia Yanxiong, Prof. Suwit Chotinun, as well as other prestigious national and international guests.
