Shandong Lonct Enzymes Co.

What Shandong Lonct Enzymes Co. does

Shandong Lonct Enzymes Co., Ltd is a privately held Chinese industrial enzyme manufacturer founded in 1976 and operating as a subsidiary of Shandong Longda Bio-Products (Shandong Longda Co., Ltd.). Headquartered in Linyi, Shandong Province, the company produces a broad portfolio of food, feed, industrial, and pharmaceutical-grade enzymes through liquid deep fermentation of microbial strains including Bacillus licheniformis, Bacillus subtilis, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus oryzae, Trichoderma reesei, and Streptomyces mobarensis. Its catalogue spans more than 30 enzyme SKUs — transglutaminase, phytase, multi-temperature α-amylases, glucoamylase, pullulanase, β-amylase, cellulase, xylanase, pectinase, protease, catalase, lipase, and others — sold in liquid and powder formats to industrial buyers in 60+ countries. Notable differentiated products include the Wide-Temperature Desizing Enzyme, Compound Glucoamylase, a thermostable phytase effective from 30–95°C, and a customizable transglutaminase activity gradient (100–2,000 u/g).

The company operates a single 100,000-ton annual production facility (completed 2022) in the Yishui North Industrial Zone, supported by four R&D centers (Linyi HQ, Tianjin, Jinan, Beijing), two Academician Workstations, a Post-doctoral Research Workstation, and long-term partnerships with 16 Chinese universities. Its R&D output is anchored by 56+ registered patents and recognized by a 2nd Prize State Award for Invention (2013) and second prize in the National Science and Technology Awards (2018). Shandong Lonct Enzymes holds the Vice Presidency of both the China Enzyme Association and the China Fermentation Industry Association and carries an unusually broad stack of international certifications — FAMI-QS, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, FSSC 22000, IFANCA Halal, Halal Indonesia, and Kosher — supporting sales into regulated feed, food-safety, and religious-compliance markets. Revenue mechanics are direct B2B sales with quote-based, non-public pricing across multiple verticals: human food and beverage manufacturers, animal nutrition and feed producers, industrial process manufacturers (textile, ethanol, paper, citric acid, antibiotics), and pharmaceutical and compliance-driven buyers. Distribution is primarily direct via the corporate website, email, phone, WhatsApp, and an implied international distributor network, with a dedicated Spanish-language storefront serving Latin American markets.

Product overview

Shandong Lonct Enzymes Co., Ltd (a subsidiary of Shandong Longda Bio-Products, founded 1976) operates as a multi-product industrial enzyme manufacturer rather than a single unified software platform, selling distinct enzyme SKUs in liquid and powder forms. Its core food/human-consumption portfolio spans Transglutaminase (TG) for processed meats, bakery, dairy and tofu; Fungal α-Amylase, Mid-Temperature α-Amylase, and High-Temperature α-Amylase for baking, brewing, starch sugar, MSG, alcohol and juice processing; β-Amylase, Glucoamylase and Compound Glucoamylase for maltose syrup, beer, MSG, antibiotics, citric acid and vinegar; Acid Xylanase for baking, feed and xylo-oligosaccharides; Acid Pectinase and Cellulase for juice, wine and feed; Acid Protease for ethanol, white spirits, leather, wool and single cell protein; Catalase for textiles, food, beer and paper; and β-Glucanase for beer, feed and paper. Its industrial/pharmaceutical portfolio adds Pullulanase for starch sugar, beer and MSG, and the Wide Temperature Desizing Enzyme (combined High-Temperature and Mid-Temperature α-Amylase) for textile desizing, while the animal nutrition line is anchored by Phytase for swine, poultry and dairy cattle feed. Additional catalogue SKUs include Peptidase, Lactase/β-Galactosidase, Trehalase, Maltogenic Amylase, Alkaline/Neutral/Weak Alkaline/Flavor/Complex Proteases, Xylanase, Neutral Cellulase, Neutral and Acid Lipase, Mannanase, Glucose Oxidase, and Pectinase. The portfolio is supported by 4 R&D centers, 16 university partnerships, and 56+ registered patents, and is produced for customers in over 60 countries at a 100,000-ton annual capacity.
