Amway has recently announced the opening of its $13 million Amway Botanical Research Center (ABRC) in Wuxi, China to study plants associated with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) at the site for potential future use in its health and beauty products.
Built on 34-hectares (84-acres) of farmland, the ABRC includes an advanced laboratory, large greenhouse and will be used for research on soil nutrients, plant physiology, extract quality standards and processes.
“The new ABRC is our effort to research and understand Chinese botanicals to a greater extent – using the most advanced technology and scientific practices – and integrate the findings into our products”, said George Calvert, Amway’s chief officer of global R&D and supply chain.
