Feb 5th, 2024, the EU official website released information that HumanwellCaps (Hubei Humanwell Pharmaceutical Excipients Co., Ltd.) officially obtained the EU registration(Traces Number: 4200/22160), marking that HumanwellCaps gelatin capsules products officially obtained the permission to enter the EU market. Since the Chinese gelatin products withdrew from the EU market in 2012, HumanwellCaps is the first gelatin capsules production enterprise in Hubei province that obtains this qualification.

HumanwellCaps is a high-tech branch of Humanwell Healthcare Group, specializing in the production of capsules, and with over 20 years of capsules production experience, with planned total annual production capacity of 40 billions of empty capsules, currently with 16 imported automatic capsule production lines, with an annual production capacity of 15 billions of capsules.

HumanwellCaps has proposed the strategic positioning of Functional Capsule Service Provider and has developed a series of functional capsule products such as HPMC capsule 2.0, anti-fragile capsule, quick-release capsule, and slow crosslinking capsule, which can better meet the needs of customers for personalized and innovative preparations. At present, the products have been exported to Europe, America, Southeast Asia, Africa and other more than 20 countries and regions.

In 2012, the EU removed Chinese gelatin enterprises from the List of Third-Party Enterprises Allowed to Export Gelatin to the EU, and temporarily did not accept new registration applications for Chinese gelatin enterprises. According to the relevant regulations of the European Union, China's food health products and drug manufacturers can only import gelatin as raw materials from the EU or other permitted third countries to maintain this huge market, and its finished products can be sold to the EU, resulting in a sharp rise in the cost of the industrial supply chain, related products losing competitive advantage.

After many efforts, HumanwellCaps successfully passed the enterprise qualification and on-site audits of Wuchang Customs General Administration, and completed the processes of official recommendation to the EU by the Wuchang Customs and registration in EU. This year, the official website of the European Union released information that HumanwellCaps officially obtained the EU registration.

With the help of Wuchang Customs, we have established a quality management system that fully meets the requirements of EU inspection and quarantine, and completed technical transformation and hardware upgrade in accordance with EU standards. The European market is one of the overseas markets that gelatin capsule enterprises will fight for. Successful registration in EU and obtaining the EU registration qualification will help HumanwellCaps successfully open the door of the EU market and lay a solid foundation for future development in the market.
