A Decade of Growth: Embedding the Green Concept in People's Minds
The Infinitus Yingkou plant commenced operations on October 16, 2014. Spanning approx. 350,000 square meters, the facility houses five workshops: beverages, polysaccharides, extraction, oral formulations, and solid formulations. Over the years, it has developed five product series, including beverages, oral liquids, capsules, tablets, and powders. To date, the factory has generated sales of 37.48 billion yuan and exports its products to numerous countries and regions, with key destinations including Malaysia, Singapore, Kazakhstan, Thailand, and South Korea as well as Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.
The Yingkou plant also serves as an immersive experience space that integrates displays, experiences, and communications. The facility has become a key platform for showcasing Infinitus's corporate culture and product offerings. It has also been designated as a national AAA-level tourist attraction, a national food science education hub, and a national green factory. To commemorate the 10th anniversary, Infinitus (Yingkou) Co., Ltd. organized a themed tour featuring factory introductions and interactive exhibits in the showroom corridor. The initiative highlighted the transformation of an internationalized production facility into "a factory that does not look like a factory." Through a blend of online and offline experiences, the tour provided a comprehensive view of the green eco-park, PV project, and eco-friendly logistic facilities within the plant.
"A significant portion of the materials used in our eco-park are repurposed from workshop waste, such as fences made from discarded wooden crates, plant containers from used packaging, and fountains utilizing filtered and recycled wastewater," explained Gao Yilin, the administrator overseeing visits to the plant. The approach not only embodies the plant's green philosophy of "turning waste into treasure" and enhancing energy efficiency but also illustrates the broader commitment to sustainable practices in manufacturing and supply chains. Through these efforts, the plant aims to deepen visitors' understanding of its commitment to environmental responsibility.
