LAIYANG, China, Jan. 4, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- Jiangbo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: JGBO) ("Jiangbo" or the "Company"), a pharmaceutical company with its principal operations in the People's Republic of China, today announced that its  Hongrui factory has been awarded with the Good Manufacturing Practices Certificate for Pharmaceutical Products ("GMP Certificate") by China's State Food and Drug Administration ("SFDA"). The GMP Certificate is valid until the end of 2015. Based on the new GMP Certificate, the Company's Hongrui factory is allowed to manufacture traditional Chinese medicines ("TCMs") in the form of tablet, granule, pill, mixture, syrup, concentrated decoction, and oral intake solution. It is also allowed to produce lactulose concentrate, which is used as a raw material in various medicines.

The Company completed the renovation and upgrade of its Hongrui factory in October 2010. As a result, oral intake solution and lactulose concentrate were newly added to its GMP Certificate. The Company has also re-launched several of the traditional Chinese medicines produced at Honrui, including Laiyang Pear Cough Syrup and Kang Gu Sui Yan Pian (an osteomyelitis treatment tablet).

"We are pleased to have received the GMP Certificate, which has allowed us to re-launch several of the exciting TCMs we obtained in the Hongrui acquisition. We expect the TCMs produced at Hongrui to contribute meaningfully to Jiangbo's revenues and earnings during calendar year 2011," said Mr. Linxian Jin, the Company's Chief Executive Officer.
