Recently, Anhui Senmiao Industrial Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Senmiao Industrial) officially signed a contract to join the Qizhidao Technology Innovation Space, marking a solid step forward on the path of technological innovation and industrial upgrading. Currently, Senmiao Industrial has been awarded over thirty honorary titles, including National High-Tech Enterprise, National Green Factory, National Innovative SME, and Provincial Specialized and Innovative Enterprise. It is also the only enterprise in Anhui Province capable of producing 10,000 tons of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. In 2024, the company achieved a market share of 14% in the domestic pharmaceutical-grade non-ionic hydroxypropyl methylcellulose sector, demonstrating strong market competitiveness.

Deep cultivation in bio-based new materials, forging an industry benchmark.

Anhui Senmiao Industrial Co., Ltd. was established in September 2014 and is located in the Linjiang Industrial Park of Anhui Susong Economic Development Zone. The company currently employs 158 staff members and specializes in the research, production, and sales of bio-based new materials, including hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and refined cotton. Over the years, the company has invested a total of 490 million yuan in expanding production lines, with its products widely used in building materials, daily chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food, and other fields. The company has obtained ISO 9001 Quality Management System Certification, ISO 14001 Environmental Management System Certification, ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System Certification, and Intellectual Property GB/T 29490-2013 Management System Certification, ensuring product quality and market supply.

Senmiao Industry highly values research and development innovation, with cumulative R&D investment exceeding 40 million yuan. Currently, the company has invested more than 10 million yuan in building state-of-the-art hardware facilities such as a central control room, quality inspection center, and R&D center. It has long-term collaborations with Hefei University of Technology, Anhui Medical University, China New Building Materials Design and Research Institute, and other universities and research institutions, following a "production, academia, research" co-development path to overcome technical bottlenecks and achieve the development and large-scale production of bio-based new materials. To date, the company has obtained 13 authorized invention patents and 20 utility model patents, developing over 20 types of products. Among them, the 250,000 viscosity bio-based hydroxypropyl methylcellulose was recognized as one of the first batch of new materials in Anhui Province in 2023. The special field MC independently developed by the company’s chief engineer is a domestic first, and its R&D strength ranks among the top in the industry.

Shenmiao Industry has integrated the production processes of refined cotton and cellulose, ensuring extended product lines and consistent quality through advanced management systems. In the construction coatings industry, the superior viscosity enhancement, water retention, and retardation properties of their products significantly improve the construction efficiency and quality of building materials while reducing environmental impact. In the pharmaceutical excipients field, Shenmiao Industry has broken through the barriers of the high-end market for pharmaceutical excipients in China through strict quality control and advanced technology, meeting the demand for high-quality excipients in the pharmaceutical industry and driving the upgrading of the pharmaceutical sector.

Meanwhile, in the ceramic industry, Senmiao Industrial's Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) serves as a suspending agent and binder, significantly enhancing the lubricity, water retention, and initial strength of ceramic products. It provides strong support for the production of high-end ceramic products such as honeycomb ceramics and electronic ceramics. Additionally, the company's HPMC-GT40 product effectively controls moisture loss, maintains food shape, reduces fat intake, and improves food texture and volume. It enriches the selection of food ingredients, addressing the major challenges of preserving food taste and quality while enhancing consumer health experiences, thereby promoting the healthy and sustainable development of the food industry.

Thanks to its outstanding product quality and strong R&D capabilities, Shenzui Industry's operating revenue has been increasing in recent years. The company's sales channels not only cover more than 30 provinces (cities) across the country but also supply products to India, Southeast Asia, Africa, and other regions, serving over 1,500 downstream customers. Currently, the company holds a 14% market share in the pharmaceutical-grade non-ionic hydroxypropyl methylcellulose sector, ranking it among the leaders in the industry.
