Revenue model

1. Hemp Fiber Products: Panda Biotech generates revenue through the sale of various hemp fiber products including mechanically cottonized fiber, degummed fiber, nonwoven fiber, decorticated fiber, hurd, micronized hurd, and short-fiber/hurd mix. Products are priced per pound and shipped in various bale sizes (400-500 lbs for fiber, ~500 lbs for degummed, 150 lbs for short-fiber mix, 30 lb bags for hurd). Revenue is one-time transaction-based with pricing available upon request to qualified buyers.

Core offering

Panda Biotech processes U.S.-grown industrial hemp at the Panda Hemp Gin in Wichita Falls, Texas, producing textile-grade hemp fiber, nonwoven fiber, decorticated fiber, hurd, and micronized hurd. The company uses a proprietary zero-water, chemical-free mechanical cottonization process that converts every part of the hemp stalk into commercial products for textile mills, nonwoven manufacturers, and industrial buyers worldwide.

Product overview

Panda Biotech offers a portfolio of industrial hemp fiber and hurd products processed at its Panda Hemp Gin facility in Wichita Falls, Texas. The product line centers on mechanically cottonized and decorticated hemp fiber at various stages of processing, complemented by hurd and micronized hurd coproducts. Mechanically Cottonized Fiber and Degummed Fiber serve textile manufacturers for spinning into yarns for denim, knits, and woven fabrics. Nonwoven Mechanically Cottonized Fiber addresses insulation, filtration, and technical textile applications. Clean Reprocessed Short Fiber and Decorticated Fiber serve pulp, paper, and industrial markets. The Short-Fiber/Hurd Mix and Hurd products support construction, animal bedding, and environmental applications, while Micronized Hurd targets fuel, bioplastics, and industrial uses. This zero-waste processing model utilizes every part of the hemp stalk, with products certified under OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 and USDA BioPreferred Program.

Products and services

• Mechanically Cottonized Fiber Textile-grade hemp fiber processed using Panda Biotech's zero-water, chemical-free mechanical cottonization process. Successfully spun into 6s–30s yarn counts and woven into denim fabric, canvas, and knits; also used for thermal and acoustic insulation, vacuum insulated panels, carpet backing, and mattress ticking. Sold per pound in 400–500 lb bales to textile mills and yarn spinners.
• Degummed Fiber Decorticated hemp fiber that has been scoured and bleached or semi-bleached, designed for knits and lightweight fabrics requiring medium and fine count yarn. Can be blended with cotton, viscose, lyocell, and other cellulosic fibers for ring spinning 20s and 30s yarn counts. Sold per pound in ~500 lb bales.
• Nonwoven Mechanically Cottonized Fiber Mechanically cottonized hemp fiber that is coarser and more rigid than textile-grade fiber, intended for needle-punch, air-laid, stitch bond, thermal bond, and chemical bond nonwoven products. Used in acoustic and thermal insulation, batting, filtration, wipes, and fiberglass applications for nonwoven manufacturers.
• Clean Reprocessed Short Fiber Versatile short hemp fiber (5mm–16mm) for the cellulosic pulp industry, paper industry, food packaging, and spray foam insulation. Also used in wipes, personal care, hygiene products, and packaging for perishables.
• Decorticated Fiber Longer, less refined fiber (average ~50mm–150mm) that has been decorticated but not yet mechanically cottonized. Suited for degumming, wet spinning, and nonwoven applications in automotive, filtration, hygiene, and industrial markets.
• Short-Fiber/Hurd Mix Byproduct mix of approximately 60% short fiber (under 0.5 inches) and 40% hurd (under 0.5 inches, 3mm–10mm diameter) that drops from the mechanical cottonization process. Applications include soil erosion control materials, hydromulch, bio logs, and insulated packaging. Sold per pound in ~150 lb bales.
• Hurd The woody inner core of the hemp stalk separated during processing. Lightweight, absorbent, naturally humidity regulating, and high in silica giving natural fire and rot resistance. Applications include animal bedding, construction materials, mulch, biocomposites, and absorption materials. Sold per pound in compressed 30 lb bags (40 bags per pallet, 1,200 lbs/pallet, 26 pallets per truckload).
• Micronized Hurd Micronized hemp hurd compressed into pellets or shipped as dust. Dust particles range 50–180 microns; pellets are 1/4 inch diameter and 1/2–1 inch in length. Nutrient-rich product used for fuel pellets, biocomposites, biodegradable plastic substitutes, and animal feed. Shipped in super sacks (750–800 lbs as dust, 2,000 lbs as pellets).

Expansion highlights6 records

Regional players

• Allied Maker (formerly US Hemp Fiber): U.S. industrial hemp decortication and fiber processing startup focused on serving North American textile, composite, and building materials markets — a regional U.S. competitor to Panda's hemp processing scale.

Direct peers

• HempFlax: Europe's largest industrial hemp fiber processor, headquartered in the Netherlands, with decortication, fiber processing, and end-product manufacturing across construction, automotive, paper, and textiles — directly comparable to Panda's hemp-fiber-and-hurd-processing model at industrial scale.
• Dun Agro Hemp Group: Dutch hemp processing and decortication specialist producing long hemp fiber, hurd, and shives for construction, automotive, and textile customers, with vertically integrated farming — a direct competitor to Panda in industrial-scale hemp processing.
• Canadian Greenfield Technologies Corp. (CGTC): Canadian hemp fiber processor with patented wet-processing/decortication technologies producing HempCel biomass, fiber, and microcrystals for industrial markets — directly comparable to Panda in commercial hemp fiber processing and end-product applications.
• Ecofibre Industries (Ananda Food / Hemp Black): Australian hemp food and fiber company with hemp processing operations producing food-grade hemp seed, hemp fiber for textiles, and wellness products — comparable to Panda in commercial-scale industrial hemp processing and the global hemp supply chain.
• Bast Fibre Technologies: Canadian hemp and flax bast fiber processor producing natural nonwoven fibers for hygiene, filtration, and automotive applications — directly comparable to Panda's nonwoven mechanically cottonized fiber product line.

Emerging players

• Natural Fiber Welding: U.S.-based materials science company developing patented fiber welding/processing technologies for natural fibers (hemp, cotton, etc.) into textiles and composites — an emerging processing-technology peer to Panda's mechanical cottonization approach.

Broad incumbents

• Levi's (Levi Strauss & Co.): Global denim and apparel giant actively sourcing sustainable hemp and biobased fibers for its product lines — a broad incumbent brand-side counterparty/demand source for Panda's mechanically cottonized hemp rather than a competitor, but materially relevant to gauging end-market appetite.

Others

• Bühler Group: Swiss industrial equipment and process-engineering supplier that designs decortication, fiber-processing, and grain-handling lines for plant-based materials — comparable as the type of custom-engineered equipment vendor that built Panda's processing line, and a potential supplier/partner for any next facility.
• Yield10 Bioscience: Ag-biotech company developing genetic traits to boost biomass yield in hemp/camelina/sorghum — thematically connected to Panda's industrial hemp feedstock agenda through upstream crop genetics, but not a fiber processor.
