ZELIXIR Launches Industry's First 'AI + Synthetic Biology' Smart Manufacturing Facility, Marking a New Chapter in Industrialization

On December 5, Zelixir (Shanghai Zhiyu Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) announced,Zelixir's Green Manufacturing Plant and Hundred-Ton Biologically Synthesized Natural Fragrance Production Center in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province, China, Officially Completed。Thus, Zelixir has successfully achieved the true transition of artificial intelligence from computational research to industrial application and production, taking a solid step forward in the field of bio-manufacturing.

Zelixir's green manufacturing plant covers an area of approximately 4,500 square meters. After the plant begins formal operation, the expected annual output will reach hundreds of tons, with an annual production value exceeding several hundred million yuan. As a comprehensive production base, it includes multiple core areas such as pilot workshops and a hundred-ton level synthetic natural fragrance production center. Equipped with advanced production facilities and a top-notch technical team, the plant relies on Zelixir's self-developed "T³ Closed-loop" business model, from...Calculation (IT) → R&D (BT) → Mass Production (VT)Achieving high-efficiency transformation by deeply integrating AI into every aspect of production and manufacturing, from route design to small-scale trials, pilot tests, and mass production. Compared with traditional methods, the industrialization cycle is significantly shortened, achieving an efficient, precise, and green production model that enhances resource utilization efficiency, reduces environmental pollution, and sets a new benchmark for green intelligent manufacturing in the industry.

Dr. Wang Sheng, CEO of Zelixir, stated:“We are very proud to have successfully built the company's first smart manufacturing factory that utilizes AI technology from computational experiments to industrial implementation."With the establishment of the factory, we will quickly achieve the production of bio-based raw materials in fields such as food, beauty cosmetics, and healthcare. Our goal is not only to advance technology but, more importantly, to realize the green sustainability of products."

Zelixir Adheres to the Innovative Concept of "Exploration → Enzyme Mining → Enzyme Engineering" and Is Committed to the Optimization of Enzyme Synthesis. This AI-based enzyme engineering R&D model can significantly reduce pollution during chemical synthesis, improving product quality and safety.

To date, Zelixir has been granted 8 invention patents and has 14 patent applications under review, providing strong support for the company's continuous innovation and development. Among these, the company’s self-developed enzymatic natural fragrance product received FEMA GRAS certification under the FDA system in June 2024. This product can be sold to most regions globally, meeting the demand for flavor upgrades in high-end and food industries. The product effectively resolves the long-standing issue of impurity odors associated with chemical synthesis methods. With its excellent performance and green sustainability, it has become one of the core categories in the company’s future development strategy, offering the market a healthier and more environmentally friendly option. It will bring significant competitive advantages and growth potential to the company in the future.

Zelixir believes that continuous technological innovation and industrial practice can provide more possibilities for green transformation in the field of synthetic biology and even broader industries. Amid global pursuit of green, low-carbon, and sustainable development, Zelixir's "AI + Synthetic Biology" intelligent manufacturing platform will lead a new revolution in the green economy with its unique innovative power!
