Circle of friends, locate to one piece

Lulian Road, Yanjiang Street, Jiangbei New District, "Nanjing Beauty Valley"It has recently become a common destination in Xu Jinrong's navigation.

Every few days, he has to run to the north of the river. The car turns into the park, sometimes to see the progress of the decoration of the production line, sometimes to talk to friends about cooperation. Every other day, he would bring a few foreign customers along, "Look, this is my new factory!"

Xu Jinrong is the chairman of the board of directors of DotDrop Bio, his company, is the raw material supplier of many domestic and foreign cosmetic brands. Not long ago, Nanjing Beauty Valley opened, and they became one of the first companies to move in.


01 A park full of "circle of friends"

"The first floor has enough pickup height that we plan to build a storage area; the second floor, which is our100,000 grade GMP standard production workshop; The third floor has to be partitioned into quite a few labs, there are new raw material R&D labs, applied research labs, and efficacy research labs ......"

Situated in Building 10 of Meigu, Xu Jinrong introduces the new factory under construction.

He has been looking forward to this scene for a long time: as a technology-oriented enterprise, DotDrop Bio focuses on providing high-quality functional raw materials for domestic and foreign cosmetic and personal care customers. But the faster the company grows, the tighter the production line, for a long time, they have commissioned the OEM to make up for the production capacity gap, the more orders, the scheduling of the "fight".

"Especially when we go abroad to exhibit and talk about cooperation, many overseas customers will ask for a site visit to the factory." Xu Jinrong said that the team has been looking for a suitable new site, visited many places, and finally chose to land in Nanjing Meigu - theEcology, the key to the team's decisionThe

For example.Right next to me."Old acquaintance.". Another contracted enterprise in the park, United Aesthetics, is a cooperative customer of DotDrop Bio. The two companies, one doing upstream raw materials and the other focusing on the integration of mechanical makeup, are already related in business. The closer distance will bring closer cooperation. In the future, from raw materials to finished products, may be "out the door to the left" distance, logistics and warehousing costs will also be greatly reduced.

Another example.Research institutes are close byIn Building 8, the Nanjing Wild Plant Comprehensive Utilization Research Institute of the All-China Federation of Supply and Marketing Cooperatives (ACFMC) has set up a functional plant ingredient R&D and manufacturing center, which can provide a full range of technical support for the enterprises that have moved in. This means that, to do the formula encountered problems, walk a few steps to find experts to look together, which gives the team full of "sense of solidity".

Partners, research institutes, "circle of friends" all gathered in the same park. As Xu Jinrong joked, "A look at the positioning, all in the 'next door'."

It is understood thatFor this entry, Point Bio brought along its wholly-owned subsidiary Point Source BioThe new plant can produce 500 tons of 3D hydrogel and clover algin per year. When the new plant reaches production, it will be able to produce 500 tons of 3D hydrogel and clover algins per year, as well as 200 tons of biobased material products and so on. The plant is expected to be completed in September, just in time for the company's 6th anniversary. For the team, it is also a brand new start.

02 Technology platforms and factories are all "shared".

Not just dot-drop biological, into the Nanjing Beauty Valley, the site there are many plants are being renovated. This specialized park aiming to build the beauty and health industry.Most of the first phase of the plant has been"Reservation.", and a number of other companies are in the process of negotiating.

The relevant person in charge of the United States Valley introduced in the attraction of partners, the park has done a lot of consideration and screening, in order to run through the industry chain, so that the enterprises "close, talk to". We are no longer each doing their own, but "run forward together as a group.

Such a concept is being landed a little bit in Nanjing Meigu.

Right now, Nanjing Wild Plants Comprehensive Utilization Research Institute of functional plant ingredients R & D and manufacturing center is under construction, the role of target verification, small pilot pilot and large-scale production and other types of technology platforms will be accelerated to the ground, to provide support for the other enterprises in the park. In the park, there are alsoOver 10,000 square feet of shared factoryIn the advancement, open to the whole industry, even the small batch proofing of a few hundred pieces can be supported here.

Longer-term designs are also in the works. The park and tenant companies are planning to each take out a portion of their patents and form a"Shared Patent Pool"The park will be fully interoperable; it will also have a"Shared Showroom"In the future, the good products of each enterprise will be displayed, broadcasted and sold together; even the exhibition booths will go in the direction of "sharing".

"What we want to do is to make the words 'Nanjing Beauty Valley' a brand." The person in charge said, "Every company that moves in is part of the brand matrix."

No longer "fighting alone", but related to each other, hand in hand, a group of enterprises stand together, is a broader future.
