Founded in 2002 and headquartered in Hefei, Anhui Province, China, the company operates through segments including pharmaceutical industry, wholesale and distribution, and retail business, with facilities covering APIs, traditional Chinese medicine extracts, chemical preparations, and the largest osmotic pump preparation base in China. Its core products encompass APIs such as nifedipine, felodipine, doxazosin mesylate, paliperidone, prilocaine, methylphenidate hydrochloride, dimercaptosuccinic acid, paeonol, urea, and troxerutin; pharmaceutical preparations including osmotic pump products like nifedipine controlled-release tablets, felodipine extended-release tablets, doxazosin mesylate extended-release tablets, trimetazidine hydrochloride sustained-release tablets, oxycodone hydrochloride sustained-release tablets (10mg, 40mg), methylphenidate hydrochloride sustained-release tablets, and venlafaxine hydrochloride sustained-release tablets; central nervous system, cardiovascular, digestive system, ophthalmic, and external dermal medicines such as gelling ketone capsules, yiqi and gastric capsules, pitaxacin oral solution, levofloxacin eye drops, gatifloxacin eye drops, ofloxacin eye drops, benzalkonium eye drops, timolol maleate eye drops, pramoxine hydrochloride eye drops, dampitol ointment, clobetasol propionate gel, compound turmeric dermal gel, urea vitamin E cream, kunning granules, metformin glipizide tablets, and itraconazole oral liquid; as well as medical intermediates, plant extracts, and decoction pieces. The company primarily serves domestic markets in China across therapeutic areas like cardiovascular, digestive, central nervous, ophthalmology, and dermatology, with select international recognition including a 2018 FDA inspection passed with zero defects on one API facility. Recent developments include signing a nurturing agreement in March 2025 with related party Hefei Lifang Investment Group to advance innovative drug projects in mental health via Nanjing Minovic Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., granting priority commercialization rights; and acquiring a 51% stake in Anhui Joyfar Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. for CNY 220 million in August 2023 to expand its portfolio.
