YICHANG, China, June 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Angel Yeast (SH:600298) a global leader in yeast manufacturing, has announced that its Baiyang Biotechnology Park ("the Park") located in the Yichang High-Tech Zone will complete construction and commence trial production in September.
The Park is integrating a green industrial chain centering around "grain sources, carbon sources, and biological manufacturing & synthesis" to significantly boost the global supply capability of high-value yeast-derived products such as yeast protein, high-nucleic acid yeast extracts, specialty yeasts and fermented glucose, while providing international food, healthy and biotech industries with stable and premium raw material solution, facilitating key upgrades in the biomanufacturing value chain.
"The overall construction progress of the specialty yeast and yeast protein projects is now at 80 percent, and we are currently constructing the public infrastructure including outdoor and road landscaping, integrated pipelines and utility corridors, The plan is to achieve functional connectivity of the entire facility by late June," said Xiang Zuoyao, construction supervisor of Angel Yeast Yichang High-Tech Zone Company.
Fu Zhijiang, equipment supervisor of Angel Yeast Yichang High-Tech Zone Company, added that the production materials procurement and the preparation of production plans are being carried out in parallel with equipment installation to prepare for trial production in September. The team has adopted simultaneous construction and quality inspections for tasks such as installing the drying tower with a diameter of 6.6 meters and height of 28 meters, to ensure each process meets the standards while significantly reducing construction time.
Through systematic technological innovations like yeast strain selection, large-scale high-density fermentation, and protein separation and extraction, the project is set to transform traditional methods of obtaining protein from plants and animals by using brewing yeast as the medium of microbial protein synthesization.
The industrialization of yeast protein aligns with global trends in sustainability and environmental protection, transforming the traditional food industry while meeting consumer demand for healthier diets. Once fully operational, the Park will drive advancements in global biomanufacturing.
"Novel protein sources have shown significant potential with advantages in environmental sustainability, resource conservation, and nutritional health. In the future, they are expected to emerge as a major new industry in biomanufacturing, and Angel Yeast is committed to providing solutions and support to meet the growing global demand for functional and sustainable bio-based products," said Zhang Yan Chief Engineer of Angel Yeast.

- Executive Chair Chung emphasizes customer-focused transformation and ecosystem strengthening to navigate evolving market dynamics and lead new industry standards
- Presents strategic priorities, including agile decision-making, ecosystem competitiveness, and bold collaboration with diverse partners
- Executives discuss AI internalization, digital transformation strategies, and business growth initiatives during candid roundtable with global employees
SEOUL, South Korea, Jan. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyundai Motor Group (The Group) today shared its 2026 strategic vision with global employees, with Executive Chair Euisun Chung presenting priorities focused on continuous customer-focused transformation, strengthened ecosystem competitiveness, and AI-driven innovation to navigate evolving market dynamics and lead new industry standards.
During his new year remarks, Executive Chair Chung presented five key strategic priorities — customer-focused evolution, agile decision-making, ecosystem competitiveness, bold collaboration, and leading new industry standards — to navigate the evolving global landscape.
Driving Transformation Through Customer Focus
Executive Chair Chung opened by expressing gratitude to employees and customers, acknowledging 2025's unprecedented business environment changes while thanking employees for their exceptional performance and customers for their continued trust. He noted that 2026 will bring both headwinds and opportunities as the global business landscape continues to evolve rapidly.
Chung emphasized continuous transformation driven by customer insights. "When conditions get tough and competition fierce, our greatest strength will be our ability to continuously evolve by staying close to our customers," he said.
Specifically, he encouraged employees to take a moment and assess some fundamental questions: "Did we thoroughly reflect customers' perspectives in our products? Did we ever compromise in the process of planning or development? Can we confidently speak of our quality in front of customers? Through these questions, we can look back upon ourselves squarely and strive for progress, thereby keeping ourselves resilient against any challenges," he said.
Agile Decision-Making Through Direct Engagement
Executive Chair Chung welcomed transformation in work methods and leadership. "Leaders must step out into the field, engage directly with people, and understand the essence of situations firsthand," he said.
He emphasized the importance of speed and clarity in organizational operations. "Above all, what matters most is fast and clear communication, and agile decision-making that is free from formality. Let us work more efficiently," he said, highlighting that by fresh thinking of its approaches, the Group can continue to achieve innovation.
Building Competitive Advantage Through Ecosystem Strength
Executive Chair Chung reinforced the importance of ecosystem strength, noting that Group businesses such as vehicle and humanoid robot manufacturing each involve tens of thousands of components, requiring exceptional performance and quality across the entire production chain.
"The strength of our supply ecosystem directly amplifies our competitive advantage. Sustainable growth is possible only when the whole ecosystem stays healthy," he said.
Bold Collaboration for AI-Driven Transformation
Executive Chair Chung emphasized that as AI technology rapidly develops and competitive dynamics shift, the global manufacturing industry is undergoing a major transition. He highlighted the need to advance through bold collaboration with diverse partners in navigating this AI-driven transformation.
"Looking at the automotive market alone, we've entered an era where core product competitiveness is determined by AI capabilities," he noted. Chung emphasized that Hyundai Motor Group is rapidly building capabilities to compete at the highest level, leveraging world-class product design and manufacturing expertise, plus valuable data from manufacturing sites and user experiences.
He shared his strong belief in the Group's competitiveness in the physical AI field and how this will continue to grow to serve customers. "We possess world-class capabilities in the design and manufacturing of physical products. If we envision a bigger future and boldly expand collaboration with various partners to broaden the industrial ecosystem, I am confident we will deliver greater value to customers," he said.
