China’s Leading Functional Gummy OEM Presents Full Product Portfolio, Korean Manufacturing Zone, and One-Stop ODM Capabilities at Asia’s Premier Health & Nutrition Expo
HNC (Health & Nutrition China) 2026, Asia’s most influential trade exhibition for health products, functional food, and nutritional supplements, successfully concluded in Shanghai this June, gathering thousands of industry leaders, R&D experts, brand owners, and international buyers from across the globe. As a specialized contract R&D and manufacturer of functional nutrition foods, Ningbo Jidian Health Technology Co., Ltd. (JILDAN) made a standout appearance with a premium, modern exhibition booth, presenting its full spectrum of custom functional food solutions, proprietary gummy manufacturing technologies, and global manufacturing network.
The event served as a key platform for JILDAN to engage in face-to-face technical dialogue with domestic and international partners, showcase its 10,000㎡ 100,000-class GMP production capabilities, and explore in-depth business cooperation with brands from Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas. With a focus on technological professionalism and long-term collaborative growth, JILDAN’s participation further reinforced its reputation as a reliable China-based manufacturing partner for global functional nutrition brands.
HNC Shanghai: A Strategic Hub for the Asian Health & Nutrition Industry
As one of the most authoritative B2B trade shows in the Asia-Pacific nutraceutical calendar, HNC Shanghai attracts decision-makers from branded supplement companies, retail chains, e-commerce sellers, and R&D institutions across China, Southeast Asia, Europe, and North America. For overseas brands seeking high-quality, cost-effective, and compliant contract manufacturing partners, the show is a primary venue for evaluating supplier capabilities, discovering innovative formulas, and benchmarking industry trends.
For JILDAN, participating in HNC 2026 was a strategic step in expanding both its domestic and international market presence. With growing global demand for functional gummies, probiotic products, and plant-based nutrition, the exhibition allowed JILDAN to directly present its technical strengths, quality control systems, and flexible customization services to a highly targeted audience of brand owners and procurement managers.
On-Site Showcase: JILDAN’s Flagship Products & Full Dosage Form Portfolio
At its carefully designed exhibition booth, JILDAN featured a curated selection of its most competitive products and manufacturing technologies, drawing consistent interest from visiting attendees. The centerpiece of the display was JILDAN’s industry-leading functional gummy series, showcasing an extensive range of ready-to-private-label formulas including:
- Sleep & relaxation gummies: Melatonin gummies, ashwagandha gummies
- Beauty & wellness gummies: Collagen gummies, apple cider vinegar gummies, biotin gummies
- Sports nutrition gummies: Creatine gummies, electrolyte gummies
- General health gummies: Multivitamin gummies, lutein ester gummies, fiber gummies
- Innovative dosage forms: Enteric-coated gummies with layered texture and premium mouthfeel
Visitors were able to sample the gummies firsthand and review detailed technical data on shelf-life stability, texture optimization, and sensory performance. Many attendees noted that the flavor profiles, texture quality, and formulation variety exceeded the standard of most comparable gummy products currently on the market.
Beyond gummies, JILDAN also showcased its full 11-category product portfolio, including soft capsules, hard capsules, tablets, compressed candies, solid beverages (including infant special diet formulas and probiotic powders), plant-based beverages, jellies, and chocolate nutritional products — demonstrating the breadth of its one-stop OEM/ODM service model.
Global Manufacturing Network Highlight: Korean Manufacturing Zone
A major highlight of JILDAN’s booth was the dedicated Korea Zone, which showcased the company’s expanded global manufacturing footprint. Backed by the US Pharmatech global production system, JILDAN delivers coordinated manufacturing and supply chain support through strategically located facilities across the U.S., South Korea, China and Japan.
The Korean manufacturing facility, located in Eumseong, Chungcheong Province, features advanced production lines for gummies, softgels, hard capsules, tablets, stick packs, powders and liquids. This global network provides brand partners with tangible advantages:
- Supply chain resilience: Dual production bases in China and Korea provide backup capacity, eliminating single-site production risks
- Regional market proximity: Korean production enables faster delivery to Northeast Asian and Southeast Asian markets
- Regulatory flexibility: Multi-region manufacturing simplifies market entry compliance for brands targeting different geographies
The Korea Zone drew significant attention from international buyers, who recognized the strategic value of a manufacturing partner with diversified global production capacity.
In-Depth Technical Exchange & Business Negotiations
Beyond product display, a core focus of JILDAN’s participation was professional technical exchange with industry peers, R&D institutions, and raw material suppliers. The JILDAN technical and sales team held multiple dedicated discussion sessions covering key industry topics:
- Advanced gummy processing technologies, including low-temperature vacuum boiling, micro-encapsulation of active ingredients, and oxidation control for oil-based nutrients
- Global regulatory compliance for functional foods and food supplements, including FDA, EFSA, and Korean KFDA guidelines
- Sustainable and clean-label production trends, including vegan gummy formulas, sugar-free solutions, and plant-based raw material applications
- Infant nutrition product quality control systems, with a focus on safety standards and traceability for special dietary foods
On the commercial front, JILDAN’s HNC participation delivered substantial results. The team held in-depth business negotiations with dozens of domestic and international brands, including established supplement companies, fast-growing D2C e-commerce brands, and retail chain buyers. Multiple international buyers from the Middle East, Europe, and Southeast Asia reached letters of intent for custom private label projects, covering functional gummies, probiotic powders, and soft capsule products.
These face-to-face meetings further strengthened trust with both new prospects and existing partners, laying the groundwork for deeper, long-term strategic partnerships.
Looking Ahead: Deepening JILDAN’s Global Footprint
Participation in HNC Shanghai 2026 marks an important milestone in JILDAN’s internationalization strategy. Moving forward, the company will continue to deepen its presence in global markets by:
- Expanding its formula library to better match international consumer preferences and regulatory requirements
- Continuously upgrading production technologies and quality systems to meet the highest global standards
- Participating in more key international industry events — including VITA FOOD Europe and SupplySide West — to connect with partners worldwide
- Strengthening its global manufacturing network across China, Korea, and the U.S. to deliver enhanced supply chain resilience
As a functional nutrition overall solution provider and intelligent functional gummy R&D and manufacturing expert, JILDAN remains committed to its vision of “advancing the health industry and creating a better life.” With a spirit of dedication, professionalism, and focus, the company aims to become a trusted long-term manufacturing partner for more global brands — delivering high-quality, innovative, and compliant functional nutrition products to consumers around the world.
