On May 17, the 35th Harbin International Economic and Trade Fair officially opened at the Harbin International Conference and Exhibition Center. The fair will run until May 21, focusing on key areas such as technological innovation, bioeconomy, and green manufacturing, attracting many domestic and international enterprises, industry organizations, and professional visitors to participate and exchange ideas.

During the exhibition, Unicornshell showcased its HPMC pharmaceutical excipients and innovative achievements in TCM modernization at the bioeconomy exhibition area, highlighting core products such as HPMC empty hard capsules. As an enterprise dedicated to the R&D, production, and sales of HPMC pharmaceutical excipients and innovative TCM formulations, Unicornshell continues to drive technological upgrades and industrial application expansion of HPMC capsules. Among them, Unicornshell’s “60‑month (5‑year) long‑shelf‑life system” for vegetable capsules attracted particular attention. It is understood that this system has ushered vegetable capsules into a “new era of 5‑year long shelf life,” further enhancing product stability and quality system levels, reflecting the continuous improvement of China’s independent R&D capabilities for vegetable capsules.

In the future, Unicornshell will continue to be driven by technological innovation, continuously improve its R&D system for HPMC materials, deepen industry‑university‑research cooperation, and accelerate the transformation of innovative achievements. The company has already established a robust quality and compliance system, with its products having obtained multiple internationally recognized certifications including US FDA, European BRC, GMP, Halal, and Kosher, giving it access to mainstream markets in Europe, the Americas, Southeast Asia, and beyond.

At the same time, as an important part of Unicornshell’s industrial layout, the Heilongjiang Unicornshell project is being actively advanced, with a planned capacity of 40 billion capsules. The first phase is expected to be put into operation in the second half of this year, further enhancing the industrialization and supply security capacity of vegetable capsules. Going forward, Unicornshell will continue to deepen technological innovation and international market expansion, actively explore markets along the Belt and Road, and promote the development of HPMC pharmaceutical excipients in a greener and more international direction.
