What Shenguan Holdings Group does

Shenguan Holdings (Group) Limited is a Cayman-incorporated, Hong Kong-listed (HKEX: 00829) collagen product manufacturer headquartered in Wuzhou, Guangxi, China, with operations spanning more than four decades. The group's core business is the production of edible collagen sausage casings from animal dermis (primarily cattle skin), sold under the "Shenguan" brand with six product series — fried, crispy, fresh, tender, bright, and colorful — for large and medium-sized sausage manufacturers in China and export markets including Southeast Asia, Europe, and the United States. Shenguan holds four national invention patents for casing production and is recognized as the first Chinese company to patent edible collagen sausage casing technology.

The company has extended beyond casings into three adjacent verticals: collagen-based food products (sold via Tmall storefront shenguansp.tmall.com), collagen-based skincare products (collfull.tmall.com), and high-purity polymer collagen medical biomaterials including Class III collagen bone filling materials (artificial bone) and dental medical collagen sponges, the last of which the company reports has endotoxin content of 0.01 EU/ml versus the U.S. FDA standard of 0.5 EU/ml. Revenue is generated primarily through direct enterprise sales for casings and a combination of direct sales and Tmall e-commerce for consumer products; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company maintains an extensive certification stack including ISO9001/22000/10012/45001/14001, U.S. FDA registration, and multiple Halal certificates (SSPY International, China Islamic Association, Indonesia, Malaysia). Recent leadership transitions have placed founder's son Sha Junqi as Chairman following Zhou Yaxian's retirement in September 2025.
