BEIJING, Jan. 24, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- China New Borun Corporation (NYSE: BORN; "Borun" or the "Company"), a leading producer and distributor of corn-based edible alcohol in China, announces the opening of Borun's Daqing Phase III facility. The opening ceremony featured dignitaries from government officials, Borun's customers, investors and analysts, as well as Borun's senior management team.

Commenting on the announcement, Mr. Jinmiao Wang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Borun, said, "We are very excited about the opening of our Daqing Phase III facility, and we are very appreciative of the broad support from Daqing's local government, as well as our customers, suppliers, investors, and employees in making our opening ceremony a great success, despite the frigid Daqing winter weather.  We are very pleased that the completion of our Phase III facility was on schedule, and we have already won pre-sale letters of intent for approximately 90% of our expanded production capacity. The edible alcohol market in China continues to grow at a rapid pace, and given our leading brand name in the market and our nearly 50% higher capacity to 380,000 tons per annum, we are well positioned to meet such growing demand.

Mr. Wang continued, "We are also excited that the full operation of our Daqing Phase III facility will enable us to further expand our customer base and increase our by-products offering. In addition to our existing by-products, DDGS, corn germ, and liquid carbon dioxide, we will have one newly- introduced by-product, crude corn oil, after the opening of Daqing Phrase III facility. With our expanded capacity and by-products offering, we are confident that Borun can deliver strong revenue and profit growth in 2011, and we continue to march ever closer towards our goal of becoming the largest producer and distributor of corn-based edible alcohol in China."
