SIRIO and its global partners jointly build a strategic alliance to ensure Omega-3 supply

Omega-3 is an essential fatty acid for the human body and a crucial raw material for the nutrition and health industry. It connects marine resources, the global supply chain and consumers, reflecting consumers’ expectations for quality and health. Ensuring a stable supply of high-quality raw materials and guaranteeing product quality that can withstand scrutiny is a shared concern across the entire industry chain.

During the 9th China International Import Expo, SIRIO, together with KD Nutra, Epax, Golden Omega, FERMENTALG and others, jointly launched the Global Omega-3 Supply Guarantee Strategic Alliance (hereinafter the “Strategic Alliance”).

All parties read out a joint declaration, agreeing to engage in long-term cooperation on diversified supply, quality management and industrial collaboration to build a more resilient supply network for the global nutrition and health industry.

Multi-source collaboration with high-quality resources: coping with cyclical fluctuations through long-term cooperation

In recent years, environmental and cyclical changes such as climate change, fishing seasons and resource quotas have been affecting the supply of Omega-3 raw materials. At the same time, consumers are paying increasing attention to the quality of Omega-3 products, and their focus on purity, oxidative stability and traceability of origin is constantly rising. This shift places higher demands on ensuring the supply of Omega-3.

Jack Zhou, Head of Global Strategic Procurement at SIRIO, stated:

“The alliance was founded not on taking, but on cherishing. What we can do is use the most restrained processes to transform limited raw materials into products with higher purity, more stable oxidation and less waste, ensuring their reliable delivery to those who truly need them. We aspire to become the most trustworthy Omega-3 solution partner, adhering to the world’s strictest standards and delivering the highest-quality marine resources to every customer and every family with Chinese speed and sincerity.”

The Strategic Alliance leverages the strengths of all parties. KD Nutra possesses the capability for high-purity Omega-3 manufacturing and quality management. Epax, founded in 1838, has been deeply involved in the concentrated fish oil field for many years. Golden Omega, relying on Chilean marine resources and a vertically integrated system, has streamlined the entire supply chain from raw materials to refining and processing. Taking advantage of the staggered fishing seasons in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, it can maintain a stable supply even when supplies are tight in the Northern Hemisphere, building a supply chain safety buffer for the Chinese market. FERMENTALG uses rare algae strains and, through fermentation cultivation and gentle extraction technology, creates a high-concentration DHA algal oil suitable for infants and young children, crystal clear and visibly pure.

Through this multi-source strategy, the Strategic Alliance aims to enhance its ability to cope with cyclical fluctuations, moving supply security from single purchases to supply chain collaboration.

Transforming resource advantages into customer value from source to delivery

After high-quality raw materials from around the world enter the supply network, they still need to undergo quality verification, formulation development and large-scale manufacturing before they can become products that can be delivered stably. SIRIO has built its own Omega-3 quality identification laboratory, which conducts batch-by-batch testing and systematic record-keeping of indicators such as purity, oxidation value, heavy metals, plasticisers and mineral oil aromatics. It also focuses on quality management and traceability from source to finished product, ensuring a more rigorous connection between raw material admission and testing, and manufacturing and delivery.

With over 30 years of experience in the nutrition and health field, SIRIO has global R&D and manufacturing capabilities, with five global R&D centres, seven production bases and a business footprint covering more than 50 countries and regions, connecting upstream resources with local demand.

SIRIO leverages its formulation R&D capabilities and dosage form capabilities, including softgels, gummies and beverages, to connect raw material selection with product development, production and delivery, supporting clients in exploring nutritional solutions suitable for different markets and populations.

Leveraging the CIIE platform to promote openness and collaboration in the global industrial chain

The China International Import Expo (CIIE) has built a platform for global resources and the Chinese market to exchange and cooperate, and has also given supply chain partners the opportunity to transform their consensus on cooperation into long-term mechanisms.

SIRIO looks forward to using the Strategic Alliance as a starting point, working with partners to focus on resource sustainability, supply resilience and product innovation, and driving the industry chain from procurement relationships to deeper value co-creation.

With a global reach and a deep commitment to local markets, SIRIO will continue to collaborate with global partners to provide brands and consumers with trustworthy daily nutritional choices through more stable supply, robust quality management and continuous innovation. Let “cherishing every ocean and protecting every drop of oil” become a shared vision across the entire nutrition and health industry chain.
