The agrochemical business of Huapont-Nutrichem was found in 2011 after the merger of Beijing Nutrichem company. In 2012, Chongqing Huapont Pharm. renamed Huapont-Nutrichem, with business covering pharmaceutical and agrochemical. Huapont-Nutrichem posted an agrochemical sale of Yuan 3.023 billion in 2012, leapt to the No. 1 company in sales of AgroPages’ Top 20 Chinese Agrochemical Companies Ranking List.
Last year, Beijing Nutrichem has acquired 66.03% stake of Hangzhou Qingfeng Agro-chemical Co., Ltd (“Qingfeng”) and then became the parent company of Qingfeng. Qingfeng is a Chinese pesticide manufacturer, producing alachlor, acetochlor, pretilachlor, metolachlor as well as prochloraz. For now, Huapont-Nutrichem totally possesses five production bases in China with the inclusion of Qingfeng.
Nutrichem has been running GLP lab since 2004 and obtained GLP laboratory qualification certificate granted by OECD in 2006. Last year, this lab successfully passed the supervisory review by China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment and got approval for new testing items.
