(vasep.com.vn) In August 7th 2012, Vinh Hoan Corp had held a ceremony to receive the Certificate on High-Tech Application for project “ Production of Collagen & Gelatin from Fish Skin”.
Mr. Chu Ngoc Anh – Deputy Minister of Ministry of Science and Technology, Mr. Le Vinh Tan – Dong Thap Party Committee Secretary and Mr. Le Minh Hoan – president of provincial People's Committee attended at the ceremony.
Many past years, Vinh Hoan has been trying to maximize value of the by products from pangasius processing. Collagen production industry is a new business with potentially high profitability, but requirement of high technology. Vinh Hoan has co-operated with its partner producing Collagen samples from fish skin at a university’s laboratory in the U.S. The results show that Collagen from fish skin is good in terms of purity and molecular weight. Therefore, Vinh Hoan decided to start the project of Collagen and Gelatin production in 2010.
In the late 2011, the company started building the pilot production workshop in Thanh Binh district, Dong Thap province to meet small orders with an aim to surveying the markets and improving technology and building larger scale collagen production factory.
In mid-March/2012, the company launched the pilot production workshop in Thanh Binh district, Dong Thap province. After successfully testing, the project with total investment of VND9 billion officially went into operation.
The project belongs to a close production chain on the large scale to take full advantage of the byproducts to increase earnings and minimize bad effect on environment.
The president of Dong Thap People's Committee affirmed that the province will always accompany with enterprises, including Vinh Hoan to implement preferential policy on high tech industry. Amid a lot of hardship, Vinh Hoan is seeking new business with high potentiality to develop.
