With advanced R&D capability and stringent quality standards, Taiwan’s TCI Co, Ltd has become one of the leading functional product developers in Asia

THE functional ingredients industry is one that continues to grow exponentially, buoyed by increasing demand for health products worldwide. In China, one of the leading companies is TCI Co, Ltd, an integrated bioscience design (IBD) company that has positioned itself as a promoter of health through functional foods and beverages as well as skincare products. It employs a biointegration process and a Q-ODM platform for the development of these products. In this interview, ANITA LIU, director of global business centre sales, talks about the company’s enterprise development concept and unique operating model.

How long has the company been in the health products business?

 

TCI was set up in 1980 in Taiwan, where we have two factories (Taipei and Pingtung); we also have another in Japan. The company has since been manufacturing health foods, functional drinks and beauty care products. Its total solution includes product planning, procurement of raw materials, formulation design, integrated manufacturing, packaging design, and inspection services. Our biggest business is in China, but the company also exports to Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States. Aside from our Shanghai marketing head office (operating as Dajiang Biomedical Co, Ltd), we have business offices in Beijing and Guangzhou.

Which products are manufactured in Taiwan?

 

Our three plants include the S1 functional food plant; S2 beauty care products plant, and S5 functional beverage plants. Each factory has different responsibilities. The S1 functional food production plant located in Taipei is mainly responsible for tablets, capsules, and powder particle health food manufacturing. It is GMO and ISO compliant, and houses state-of-the-art automated production equipment as well as testing equipment, and cleanrooms – everything to ensure the high quality of products.

The S2 beauty care product  manufacturing plant, located in the Tokai region in Japan, is mainly responsible for R&D and production of beauty care products. They use water from the the Suzuka Mountains which is supposed to be pure mountain spring water ideal for skin care products.

Our S5 functional beverage plant is located in Taiwan’s southern agricultural area. It has access to clean water resources, and covers more than 10,000 square metres. The factory area, which spans 3,700sqm, is mainly responsible for the R&D and production of functional beverages. The plant also meets GMP and ISO specifications, and adopts the most stringent operating environment throughout the pharmaceutical sterile facility.

In addition, it has the most advanced production technology and equipment for a variety of bottle shapes and has a capacity of up to 20 million bottles per day. It is worth mentioning that we select different sterilisation methods based on product characteristics, such as ultra-high temperature sterilisation or return temperature sterilisation, to prolong beneficial live bacteria in our products. This plant is industry-leading in terms of technology and equipment.

How does the company ensure the safety of raw materials and finished products?
