What Sheng Long Bio-tech Co., LTD. does

Thăng Long (legal entity Công ty TNHH Khoa Kỹ Sinh Vật Thăng Long, marketed internationally as Sheng Long Bio-tech) is a 100% foreign-invested aquaculture enterprise headquartered in Duc Hoa 1 Industrial Zone, Tay Ninh Province, Vietnam, founded in 2003 and operating since 2011 under a strategic partnership with China's Guangdong Haid Feeds Group. The company manufactures aquaculture feed (shrimp feed under the Tiger, Lion, Bi-Tech, Dragon, Panda, Koala, Royal Dragon, Baccarat, Marina, Golden Tiger, and Golden Lion sub-brands; fish feed under the Sea Master brand), produces SPF shrimp post larvae (3 billion/year capacity at Ninh Thuan) and tilapia seed (200 million/year at Soc Trang), and sells biological products for water treatment and disease prevention.

The underlying technology stack is biology- and process-engineering-led rather than software-led: it includes 100% imported SPF shrimp broodstock, high-density in-house algae cultivation, dual-zone plus UV ultrafiltration water treatment, modern extrusion lines (7 fish feed production lines plus 11 shrimp feed lines), and the proprietary TLSS (Thăng Long Smart System) multi-phase pond model that is reported to sustain an 80%+ shrimp-farming success rate. The revenue model is primarily hardware sales of physical feed, seed, and biological products through a multi-tier distribution channel combining a domestic dealer/agent network, 40 service stations, 5 transit warehouses, and 350+ in-house technical marketing staff providing on-farm consultation, plus targeted direct sales in India and Malaysia. Customers are predominantly small-to-mid-sized shrimp farmers (whiteleg and black tiger) and fish farmers (tilapia, pangasius, snakehead, grouper, sea bass) across Vietnam's Mekong Delta, Central, and Northern regions, with export reach to the Philippines, Cambodia, Myanmar, Bangladesh, and India. Achieved revenue of USD 500 million in 2020 at 500,000 tons/year of feed, with 2024 throughput tracking toward a stated 680,000-ton target.
