Executive Summary
Qingdao Huanghai Biological Pharmaceutical, a subsidiary of Qingdao Huanghai Pharmaceutical, recently hosted a ground-breaking ceremony for its medical sodium alginate production project in Jiaozhou city, Qingdao. With a total investment of RMB 300 million, the 66,072-square-meter facility began construction in February and is scheduled for operation at year end. The first phase, with RMB 100 million funding, will involve setting up a raw pharmaceutical materials production workshop, office buildings, warehouses and auxiliary facilities.
