BEIJING, Dec. 8, 2010 /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, today provides pre-sale updates for 2011.
The Daqing Phase III facility is on schedule to become operational in January 2011, which will expand the Company's total production capacity by 120,000 tons, or 46%, to 380,000 tons. Of the increased 120,000 tons capacity, the Company has already won pre-sale letters of intent totaling 107,000 tons, or 89% of the increased capacity. For the full year of 2011, Borun's Daqing facility and Shouguang facility together have already entered letters of intent with customers to sell a total of 305 thousand tons of edible alcohol, accounting for over 80% of Borun's expanded total production capacity.
Mr. Jinmiao Wang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Borun, commented, "Driven by our strong reputation in the industry and the robust market demand for our edible alcohol, we are very pleased with our exceptional pre-sale success. We also made significant progress with selling into Sichuan province, the largest Baijiu production base in China, as we continue to broaden our customer base. The combination of our pre-sale success and the continued strong market demand for our by-products, including DDGS feed, corn germ, carbon dioxide, and the newly-introduced crude corn oil, provides us with excellent revenue visibility for 2011. As a result, we are excited with our Daqing Phase III expansion, and we are confident that the nearly 50% increase in our total capacity will drive strong revenue and profit growth in 2011."
