From a single wet-milling line in 1998 to an integrated complex spanning 413,300 m² — Shandong Golden Corn has grown alongside China's bio-economy, and now serves customers on every continent.
Our Story
Founded in March 1998 in the fertile plains of Shouguang, Shandong — the "Vegetable Capital of China" — Shandong Golden Corn Co., Ltd. was born from a simple conviction: the humble corn kernel deserves better chemistry.
Today we are a comprehensive enterprise group employing more than 1,600 people across a 413,300 m² production complex, with total assets exceeding USD 148 million. Our integrated operations combine primary starch extraction, enzymatic sweetener production, amino-acid fermentation, and advanced bio-polymer synthesis — all on a single site.
An on-site 52,000 kWh thermal-power plant keeps our process steam and electricity flowing reliably, while imported analytical instrumentation and a dedicated R&D team ensure every batch meets international specification.
The result: a supply partner that can ship a pallet of food-grade starch to a bakery in Oslo, a tanker of 98.5% L-Lysine HCL to a feed mill in Texas, and a container of biodegradable PLA to a packaging converter in São Paulo — all in the same week.
Persisting in science, contributing first-class quality, maintaining high starting points and standards.
