On November 4, 2009, nearly 800 people from every province in China and over 70 ABOs from Taiwan, Malaysia, and Korea joined in a celebration to mark the grand opening of Sunrider’s third state-of-the-art manufacturing plant in Kunshan, China. On a cool autumn day, Drs. Chen and VIPs took to the stage accompanied by loud applause for the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Together with a spirited and thrilling lion dance performance, the ceremony heralded the opening of the huge and impressive Kunshan Manufacturing Facility, which covers an area of approximately 30 acres, with a built-up area of 40,000 square meters. Dr. Chen thanked the Municipal Committee of Kunshan City and government leaders of Dianshan for their unwavering support that resulted in the completion of Sunrider’s Kunshan Plant project in just two years. He also extended his thanks to all Sunrider leaders for their support and assistance.
Sunrider Food (Kunshan) Ltd. has production lines in place for Sunrider’s highly touted instant noodles and a variety of canned foods. With a staggering investment of over US$80 million, Dr. Chen shared that the plant is also designed for the research and development of beverages and various supplements, in addition to the noodles and canned foods. The plant is equipped with ultramodern equipment and incorporates precise manufacturing procedures to ensure the quality, safety, and effectiveness of all Sunrider® products.
ABOs were later taken on a tour of the noodle production line. Each visitor was given noodle samples to taste, and it was the thumbs up all around! An array of healthy yet delicious condiments such as egg, mushroom, and tofu accompanied the noodles, prompting one ABO to say, “It’s a most healthy ‘fast food’ for busy entrepreneurs!” The banquet attended by the ABOs later that evening was a memorable and entertaining affair. Besides the mouthwatering food served, attendees enjoyed spectacular performances by Chinese Business Leaders. Drs. Chen were later seen singing karaoke with the VIPs, showing Sunriders how important it is to work hard and play hard!
