On July 28, 2010, the "Opening Ceremony of the First-phase Project of Runke Bioengineering (Fujian) Co., Ltd. and the Groundbreaking Ceremony of Fujian Runke Biotech High-grade Fatty Acid Project" was held ceremoniously. Over 100 guests attended the event, including Yu Nansheng, Secretary of the Zhao'an County Party Committee, Wu Wentuan, the County Mayor, and other leaders of the Party committee and government, as well as leaders from county-level departments, Jindu Industrial Zone, and related towns and districts.
The atmosphere was festive and auspicious with colorful banners fluttering everywhere. The groundbreaking ceremony kicked off first, during which Secretary Yu, Mayor Wu, and other major leaders listened to the project overview and jointly shoveled dirt to lay the foundation for the project. At the project site, leaders and guests learned that the Fujian Runke Biotech High-grade Fatty Acid Project, which was about to break ground, was located in the "South Fujian Marine Bio-high-tech Industrial Park", covering an area of 200 acres with a planned investment of 200 million yuan. At present, the 200-acre project site has been leveled and ready for construction in August. In the first phase, a comprehensive building and two workshops will be built. After the completion of the project, it is expected to achieve an annual output value of 1.5 billion yuan and a tax revenue of 60 million yuan.
The production celebration ceremony then followed, during which Secretary Yu, Mayor Wu, and other major leaders jointly pushed the firework rods in front of the Fujian Runke office building to celebrate the official launch of the company's production. In addition, leaders and guests visited the completed office building and workshops with great interest, and all of them affirmed the company's construction scale and development prospects. As a large-scale comprehensive base for the sustainable development of Runke, Runke Bioengineering (Fujian) Co., Ltd. specializes in the research, development, production, and sales of microalgae biotechnology. The project covers an area of 320 acres with a total investment of 400 million yuan. The first-phase project, which has been put into operation, has a total investment of 160 million yuan, and is expected to achieve an annual output value of 600 million yuan and an annual tax revenue of 15 million yuan.
The successive investment and gradual commissioning of the two projects will lay a solid foundation for the development of Runke in the next ten years and jointly support Zhao'an County in building an industrial development platform, promoting the rapid development of the marine biotechnology industry with distinctive features in Zhao'an County.
