What YanTai Shuangta Food does

Yantai Shuangta Food Co., Ltd. is a publicly listed Chinese food ingredient manufacturer headquartered in Zhaoyuan City, Shandong Province, the birthplace and principal production district of Longkou vermicelli. Founded in 1992 and listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange (stock code: 002481) in September 2010, the company operates with 5,001-10,000 employees and operates two core product lines: a Vermicelli Series anchored on Longkou vermicelli (a geographically protected product) and a Pea Protein Series spanning 80% pea protein, pea protein isolate, textured pea protein, and organic variants, with by-product streams including pea starch, pea fiber, and specialized mungbean, favabean, and chickpea proteins. Its proprietary processing foundation is a special enzymolysis technique that yields neutral-tasting, highly soluble pea protein, complemented by a granulation process that halves dispersion time and functional variants with water retention above 1:3.5, high gelation, and sub-400ppm sodium options. Manufacturing is vertically integrated from raw material storage through drying, processing, freezing, packaging, and testing, supported by a nationally recognized laboratory and a circular-economy operating model.
