Yantai Andre Pectin

Yantai Andre Pectin is a China-based manufacturer of pectin ingredients used primarily in food, beverage, nutrition, and certain health supplement applications. Founded in 2003 in Yantai, Shandong, the company produces apple and citrus pectin, including HM, LMA, and LMC grades, for use in jams, jellies, confectionery, dairy, beverages, bakery products, and related formulations. The business appears to be an operating commercial manufacturing company rather than a therapeutic biotech or pharmaceutical developer. In 2025, dsm-firmenich increased its ownership stake in the company to 90.5%, making the business effectively a majority-controlled subsidiary while leaving a minority stake with Rich Spring Holdings Limited. For biotech and pharma classification purposes, the company is better categorized as a specialty ingredient manufacturer than as a life sciences company.
