Your mission

  • Market characteristics: The vitamins and premix markets of HNH in China are highly competitive. DSM-FIRMENICH has a major strength by having a very strong and recognized quality image. This is a key success factor for the business since it provides a superior margin to DSM-FIRMENICH and reliability to quality conscious customers and leads to a lot of support and goodwill from the quality and regulatory authorities. In addition, multinational accounts in China and accounts in Europe or US expect a “western style” quality system to be in place. For straight products we are facing the strong price competition from local suppliers.

But new nutritional products promotion is limited by the National Standard (GB). In terms of label claims our customers get challenged by local governmental supervisory departments due to testing errors of vitamins.
