In Maoming city, a land thriving with the tilapia industry, there is an enterprise that started with inconspicuous fish scales and has been deeply engaged in the fish gelatin field for more than 20 years. From scratch and from weakness to strength, it has blazed a unique industrial path through hardships—that is Guangdong Audima Bio-tech Co.,Ltd (hereinafter referred to as "Guangdong Audima Bio-tech Co.,Ltd"). Today, the company has become a leader in the fish gelatin industry, steadily holding the top position in market share all year round. The beginning of all this is closely linked to the rise of the tilapia processing industry.
Looking back to the early 2000s, the tilapia processing industry was officially introduced to the Chinese mainland from Taiwan. Relying on its unique climatic and geographical advantages, this industry quickly took root and grew in southern China, opening a new chapter of large-scale development. As a core tilapia processing area, Maoming witnessed the emergence of numerous tilapia processing plants in a short period. After deep processing, tilapia were sold to the market, bringing considerable economic benefits. However, it also left an urgent problem to be solved—the treatment of a large number of tilapia processing by-products, namely fish scales and fish skin. These once neglected fish scales, when piled up like mountains, not only wasted resources but also brought great pressure to the environment. Finding an efficient way to utilize fish scales became an urgent demand of the entire tilapia processing industry at that time, which also laid the foundation for Guangdong Audima Bio-tech Co.,Ltd to develop fish gelatin later.
Opportunities always favor the prepared. Li Guowei, the founder of Guangdong Audima Bio-tech Co.,Ltd, seized this historical opportunity. With more than 30 years of experience in the fine chemical industry, Li Guowei made precise layout in the industry tide with his keen insight and solid technical foundation. At that time, benefiting from years of export experience in the Japanese market, Guangdong Audima Bio-tech Co.,Ltd coincidentally began to supply high-quality fish scale raw materials to Nitta Gelatin Japan, which became the starting point of the company's connection with fish scales and fish gelatin, laying a solid foundation for subsequent industrial deep cultivation.
After years of exploration and accumulation, Guangdong Audima Bio-tech Co.,Ltd has accumulated rich experience and technical advantages in the field of fish scale processing. In 2010, the company ushered in an important development milestone—it jointly established Guangdong Baiwei Biotechnology Co., Ltd. with Nitta Japan, officially entering the production of fish collagen peptides. This further extended the deep processing industrial chain of tilapia by-products and laid a solid technical and market foundation for the subsequent R&D and production of fish gelatin.
With the upgrading of global health concepts and the diversification of consumer demand, Li Guowei keenly realized that fish gelatin would become a new outlet in the future gelatin market. Compared with traditional gelatin, fish gelatin made from tilapia fish scales is naturally compatible with Halal, Kosher and vegetarian-friendly trends. More importantly, it completely avoids the risk of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), with more advantages in safety, which meets the high-quality needs of the global food and pharmaceutical fields. In 2012, Guangdong Audima Bio-tech Co.,Ltd officially decided to enter the fish gelatin production field, opening the transformation path from fish scale raw material supply to independent fish gelatin production.
However, the growth of new things is never smooth. As a new type of gelatin, fish gelatin had extremely low market acceptance at that time, and many customers were full of doubts about its performance and uses. The fish gelatin road of Guangdong Audima Bio-tech Co.,Ltd was full of difficulties and challenges. To make the market recognize the advantages of fish gelatin, the company launched a long journey of market exploration and development—in order to let customers intuitively understand the quality and performance of fish gelatin, they once sent tons of free samples to customers across the country for testing, patiently answered every question of customers, and repeatedly optimized product formulas; at the same time, the sudden boom of the fish collagen peptide market led to the rapid rise in the price of raw materials such as fish scales, greatly increasing production costs and bringing enormous pressure to the company's capital chain and production and operation.
In the face of difficulties, Guangdong Audima Bio-tech Co.,Ltd did not flinch. With the technical leadership of Li Guowei and the unremitting efforts of all employees, the company always adhered to the original intention of quality, deeply engaged in the R&D of fish scale deep processing technology, continuously optimized the fish gelatin production process, and improved product quality. From the selection, cleaning and deashing of tilapia fish scales to the extraction, purification and molding of fish gelatin, every link was strictly controlled to present the highest quality fish gelatin products to the market. Hard work pays off. With its excellent quality and safety advantages, the company's fish gelatin products have gradually gained market recognition, especially highly trusted by Halal and Kosher customers, successfully opening the door to domestic and foreign markets.
Today, after years of deep cultivation, Guangdong Audima Bio-tech Co.,Ltd has long been out of the initial difficulties and grown into a leading enterprise in the fish gelatin industry, steadily holding the top position in the fish gelatin market all year round. Relying on the resource advantages of Maoming's tilapia industry, the company has realized the efficient utilization of fish scale resources, building a green circular industrial chain of "tilapia processing by-products—fish scale raw materials—fish gelatin/fish collagen peptides". It not only solves the environmental protection problem of the tilapia processing industry but also realizes the value-added utilization of resources, practicing the concept of green development.
In segmented fields, the fish gelatin of Guangdong Audima Bio-tech Co.,Ltd has won high praise—in the Kosher food field, its fish gelatin products strictly comply with Kosher laws and regulations, becoming the preferred raw material for many Kosher food enterprises; in fields such as fish oil capsules and transglutaminase (TG enzyme), its fish gelatin provides strong support for product quality improvement, winning wide recognition in the industry.
From inconspicuous fish scales to an industry-renowned fish gelatin benchmark; from the difficult initial exploration to the glory of topping the market, the growth path of Guangdong Audima Bio-tech Co.,Ltd is a history of struggle adhering to the original intention, daring to innovate and overcoming difficulties. In the future, Guangdong Audima Bio-tech Co.,Ltd will continue to take tilapia processing by-product fish scales as the core, deepen its cultivation in the fish gelatin field, continuously increase investment in technological R&D, optimize product structure, expand application scenarios, strive to promote the high-quality development of the fish gelatin industry, write more legendary stories about fish scales, tilapia and fish gelatin, and inject stronger momentum into the transformation and upgrading of Maoming's tilapia industry.
