On August 10, the reporter learned from the Khorgos Economic Development Zone Corps Division (hereinafter referred to as the “Corps Division”) that the project “Application of Dual Transformation Synergy Technology in the Bio-fermentation Industry” by Xinjiang Yilihong Biological New Materials Technology Co., Ltd. was selected as a case of “2026 Enterprise Digital and Green Collaborative Transformation Development,” and this is also the only private enterprise in the biomedicine manufacturing sector of the division city to receive this national-level honor.
In 2018, Xinjiang Yilihong Biological New Materials Technology Co., Ltd. settled in the Corps Division, with a total project investment of 4.5 billion yuan, planning to build a 500,000-ton deep processing project for agricultural and sideline products, covering an area of 1,422 mu. As a national high-tech enterprise and the chain leader enterprise in the biomedicine manufacturing industry chain of the division city, the company is mainly engaged in the research and development and production of biological products such as tryptophan and hyaluronic acid. The market recognition of its products has continued to increase, with more than 40% of its products exported to Southeast Asia, South America, and other regions, and its foreign trade export channels remain stable and smooth. In the first half of 2026, the enterprise achieved a year-on-year output value growth of more than 50%, showing a good momentum of both production and sales.
Xinjiang Yilihong Biological New Material Technology Co., Ltd. uses innovation to drive its “dual transformation” of digitalization and greening, building a platform integrating “key laboratory + technology center + postdoctoral workstation,” forming a research team of 100 people, deepening industry-university-research cooperation, and focusing on tackling key technologies. In terms of digital transformation, it has put into use an intelligent production management platform and an energy-carbon digital control system, achieving full-process intelligent scheduling and real-time monitoring of energy consumption and carbon emissions, with the self-control rate of core links exceeding 80%. In terms of green development, it has connected the entire chain of “corn planting - deep processing - by-product utilization,” upgraded energy-saving fermentation processes, and achieved a comprehensive utilization rate of wastewater and waste residue of over 90%, embarking on a transformation path featuring efficient resources, clean low-carbon operations, and intelligent precision.
Industrial agglomeration cannot be separated from the cultivation and empowerment of the park platform. Focusing on the “1+2+N” leading industry layout, the Corps Division has deeply cultivated the biomedicine manufacturing track, scientifically planned the Biomedicine Manufacturing Industrial Park, carried out precise investment promotion and talent introduction, and enriched the fertile soil for industrial development. It has successively gathered a number of leading enterprises in the industry, such as Xinjiang Yilihong Biological New Materials Technology Co., Ltd., and the industrial cluster effect has gradually emerged.
“The Bingtuan Sub-district will accelerate the construction of the Silk Road Synthetic Biology Technology Research Institute, take the ‘dual transformation” of digitalization and greening as the starting point, unleash the advantages of industrial clusters, continue to extend, supplement, and strengthen the chain, stimulate innovation vitality, and strive to build a 10-billion-level biological manufacturing industrial cluster, injecting strong momentum into the digital, green, and high-end development of the division city's industries," said Liu Jie, Director of the Investment Promotion Bureau of the Horgos Economic Development Zone Bingtuan Sub-district.
