Longrich

What Longrich does

Longrich is a vertically integrated Chinese consumer goods company founded in 1986 and headquartered in Changshu (Suzhou), China. The company manufactures and sells cosmetics, personal care products, health supplements, and household goods through a multi-brand portfolio that includes the core Longrich (隆力奇) brand plus sub-brands such as Guomujimi (果木肌密) for skincare, Yacan (雅璨) for color cosmetics, Baohe Tang (保和堂) for cordyceps-based health supplements, and Jingzhi Shenghuo (精致生活) for wellness appliances. The company traces its heritage to snake oil-based products and has accumulated proprietary expertise in snake oil extraction, snake skin collagen, and cordyceps militaris processing, supported by 59 national invention patent applications and 36 granted patents.

The company operates a substantial R&D and manufacturing infrastructure: eight global R&D institutions (located in China at Tsinghua University, Jiangnan University, and Changshu, plus international facilities in Long Island NY, Kobe, and La Rochelle), five production bases including a Changshu headquarters of approximately 3,000 mu and a new Nigeria factory in the Lagos Free Trade Zone, and an Industry 4.0 pilot smart factory. Longrich's proprietary industrial internet platform 'Qi Cloud Brain' (奇云大脑), launched in 2019, claims to be the first general-purpose industrial internet platform for the daily chemical industry, with over 260 million IoT identifier registrations reported by 2021.

Longrich generates revenue through four streams: (1) branded consumer products sold directly to mass-market consumers in China and internationally; (2) a new retail / direct selling network organized into dedicated China and International divisions, supported by its own Business School (商学院) for distributor training; (3) OEM/ODM manufacturing services for over 100 international first- and second-tier daily chemical brands; and (4) e-commerce through its proprietary B2C platform Juhao.com (聚好网) and Tmall flagship store, plus a Guangzhou livestreaming base established in 2020. Products are sold in over 60 countries with trademark registrations in 138 countries. The company is privately held by founder and Chairman Xu Zhiwei; its e-commerce subsidiary Juhao Global Limited is publicly traded on NASDAQ under ticker JWEL following a 2021 listing. Customers include both end consumers and major brand partners such as Coty/Adidas, Galderma/Cetaphil, and GSK (which awarded Longrich 'Supplier of the Year 2014'). The company also holds peripheral non-core businesses in real estate, microfinance, logistics, and wood products.
