As disclosed in August of 2010, in order to meet growing demand, the company embarked on an expansion plan designed to boost production capacity for its core Cordyceps product from 55 tonnes to over 100 tonnes by year-end 2012.
The company completed the first phase of its expansion through the renovation of three buildings in 2010, increasing production capacity to 72 tonnes by year-end.
As of year-end 2011, the company neared completion of an additional three buildings, which will bring total production capacity to 87 tonnes, an overall production capacity increase of 58% from the onset of the expansion project.
These additional facilities are expected to be online and operational in 2012. The company expects to renovate additional four buildings over the course of the current year and meet its goal of over 100 tonnes of Cordyceps production capacity by 2013.
Lianyun Han, founder and CEO of Nutrastar, said: “Our multi-phase, multi-year project has been a concerted team effort. We are thrilled to be close to finishing the second phase of our expansion. We look forward to sustaining our position as the leading provider of premium commercially cultivated Cordyceps consumer products in China now and for years to come.”
