Qingdao Kangjing Marine Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

Qingdao Kangjing Marine Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (青岛康境海洋生物科技有限公司) processes Antarctic krill and other marine raw materials. Its base is at Jiaozhou, a county-level city within Qingdao, Shandong Province.

The Jiaozhou site covers about 30,000 square metres of buildings, of which roughly 24,000 square metres is production space and 6,000 square metres a research centre. Four automated lines give a stated annual capacity of 1,000 tonnes of krill oil and 100 tonnes of krill protein peptide. Output covers krill oil, krill oil softgels, krill oil powder, krill protein peptide and krill meal, alongside fish oil and marine algae calcium.

The company buys from Antarctic krill fishing fleets under standing agreements, which it uses to document catch date and processing location for each lot. It takes contract and private-label work, adjusting specification, flavour and packaging, and states that it accepts small order quantities. Exports go to Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States. A separate firm using the same Kangjing name, Shandong Kangjing Marine Bioengineering in Gaomi, is listed by the China Food Additives and Ingredients Association as a krill oil producer and uses the domain qdkangjing.cn.
