What 绿康生化股份有限公司 does

绿康生化股份有限公司 (Lifecome Biochemistry Co., Ltd.) is a Chinese biopharmaceutical manufacturer founded in June 2003 and listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange since May 2017. The company is headquartered in Nanpu Ecological Industrial Park, Pucheng County, Fujian Province, operating on approximately 270 Mu of land with 80,000 square meters of workshop area, including a secondary Putan New Factory Area. Lifecome specializes in microbial fermentation-based production of veterinary antimicrobial APIs (Bacitracin Zinc, Colistin Sulfate, Bacitracin Methylene Disalicylate, Neomycin Sulfate), finished veterinary dosage forms (premixes, soluble powders, granules), spore-forming probiotics (Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus licheniformis), and the natural food preservative Natamycin. The technology platform rests on an R&D unit established in 2003 with strain improvement capabilities (classical mutation, protoplast fusion, DNA recombination) and full-range fermentation scale-up from 5L to 22,000L bioreactors, supported by a purification and particle technology pilot system. The QA function maintains 1,427 SOPs, and products comply with EP, USP, and CVP pharmacopoeial standards, with manufacturing sites holding Chinese MOA GMP, EU GMP, Australian GMP, US GMP (Bacitracin Methylene Disalicylate line), CEP, and ISO9001/14001/22000 certifications.

The company operates a direct B2B sales model serving three primary customer segments: commercial livestock and poultry producers (broilers, layers, swine, cattle, ruminants, aquatic animals) purchasing feed additives and veterinary pharmaceuticals for bacterial enteritis prevention, growth promotion, and gut health; food processing companies using Natamycin for cheese, cured meat, and bio-pesticide applications; and pharmaceutical manufacturers purchasing high-purity APIs compliant with EP, USP, and CEP standards. Go-to-market is primarily sales-led with dedicated international business consultation lines and overseas regional sales managers, supplemented by event-driven engagement at major industry exhibitions (Euro Tier, IRANPLEX, SIMA SIPSA). The product portfolio is priced on a B2B basis without public disclosure; customers are directed to contact sales representatives. The company exports globally with EU Drug Master File documentation, CEP certificates, and country-specific regulatory approvals. Management is led by Chairman and Party Secretary Lai Tanping (赖潭平), with a Party Committee of 45 members overseeing the corporate governance structure that was formalized post-IPO.
