Niutang Sucralose market share has tripled from 2008 and has consistently experienced double-digit growth. Niutang currently has 350 metric tons of Sucralose capacity and is in the process of completing its fourth expansion in five years. The new, 1,200 metric ton capacity, state-of-the-art facility is scheduled to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2012.

"Across the years, we have taken a proactive, strategic approach to growing our Sucralose business," said Nancy Hughes, Niutang's Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "Additional capacity and innovative technology allows us to keep our production costs low while meeting the supply demands of our customers.

"In addition we remain committed to minimizing production costs of Niutang Aspartame," stated Licheng Wang Jr., General Manager of Changzhou Niutang. "To stay competitive in the Aspartame marketplace, it is important to control the raw material costs and maintain a stable supply of L-phe (L-phenylalanine). As a result, we are making a significant investment to expand our production of L-phe, with the additional output slated to be available in early 2013."

As a financially stable company with an experienced management team, Niutang has steadily grown its global reach. The company's customer base currently spans North America, Central America, South America, Europe and Asia Pacific.  Niutang further enhances the customer experience with an established U.S. sales office, technical services, worldwide distributor partnerships, and commitment to quality, making the company a preferred supplier of high-intensity sweeteners and folic acid in the global marketplace.

Niutang is one of the only sweetener manufacturers that audits, qualifies and tests incoming suppliers and raw materials.  The company's products meet the U.S. and European requirements for current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) of food and pharmaceutical excipients.  In addition, Niutang is one of the few Sucralose manufacturers holding the British Retail Consortium (BRC) Global Standard for Food Safety Certificate. 

"As a supplier to the global food chain, we pride ourselves on being pro-active to ensure the safety of our food additives," said Kerry Kenny, Niutang's Director of Quality and Technical Support. "Our manufacturing locations have been working diligently to ensure we comply with what has been outlined in the US Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA 2011) in regards to HACCP, Quality Inspections and 3rd Party Certifications.  Although already BRC certified, we are currently in the process of obtaining the Food Safety System Certification 22000 to further enhance Niutang's quality and food safety objectives."

The company has taken the initiative and lead on sustainability within the industry by investing in new technologies for wastewater treatment and solvent recovery.  Additionally, Niutang ensures that the elements of sustainability are incorporated into the daily routines and tasks of all our employees.
