Herbalife Breaks New Ground
The new extraction facility will purchase botanicals directly from farms in Hunan province and other regions, perform extraction and other conversion processes and then send these processed raw materials directly to Herbalife's manufacturing facilities in Suzhou, China and Lake Forest, Calif. or to its third party manufacturers throughout the world. The new extraction plant will produce botanical extracts including teas, guarana, chamomile, broccoli and bilberry, among others, for use in many of its products. Herbalife is also in the process of entering into strategic supply agreements with farmers in Hunan and other provinces to provide ultimate traceability for its ingredients.
Changsha, the capital of Hunan province, was chosen for its location on the banks of the Yangtze River as home to many of the world's nutritional herbs and botanicals.
Herbalife's 80,000 sq. ft. facility in Changsha will be capable of processing approximately 8,000 metric tons of raw materials annually through extraction, purification and drying of powders and liquids. The new plant will create approximately 120 local jobs. The project received support from the Hunan provincial and Changsha City governments.
Herbalife received its first direct-selling license in China in March 2007 and now has licenses for the company to conduct its direct-selling business in 16 provinces. Herbalife also currently operates 75 retail stores in 30 provinces in China.
