New Manufacturing Facility Introduction
To elevate the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) industry and align with international standards, Koda has established a modern manufacturing facility that complies with the Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) for Chinese medicine. Spanning from B1 to 5F, the facility covers a total floor area of 20,854.5 square meters (approximately 6,308 ping), and features a fully intelligent production line for scientific Chinese medicine—integrating automation and digital technology to enhance quality and efficiency across the board.
The exterior design is inspired by the concept of “Embracing diversity with a broad mind,” symbolizing our company’s open-mindedness and inclusive spirit in welcoming people, ideas, and innovations from all walks of life. It is also a visual commitment to continuous innovation for the future.
Guided by Koda’s core values of social responsibility and sustainable development, the new facility is built in accordance with the LEED Gold Certification (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). With features such as a wastewater treatment system, solar panels, and steam heat recovery from boilers, the facility embodies Koda’s commitment to environmental protection and energy efficiency—from source to end use.

Scientific Chinese Medicine Production Process
Selection and Storage
Chinese herbs must be selected according to the standards of the Pharmacopoeia, stored under appropriate temperature and conditions to prevent contamination, deterioration, and cross-mixing.
Cleaning
Removal of non-medicinal parts, weeds, and defective herbs, using a 360° high-pressure water circulation system to eliminate impurities.
Herbal Slicing & Preparation
Herbs are selected, sliced, and dried under controlled temperature and humidity to preserve quality and active ingredients.
Processing (Pao Zhi)
Based on TCM principles, herbs are further processed to reduce toxicity, modify properties, and enhance therapeutic effects.
Weighing
Accurate weighing is essential to ensure consistent quality in production.
Extraction
Active components are extracted using solvents, influenced by particle size, extraction time, temperature, and equipment conditions.
Filtration & Separation
Herbal residues are separated from the extract to ensure purity.
Concentration
Using low-temperature vacuum concentration, the extract is concentrated into herbal paste.
Granulation
Herbal paste combined with excipients is granulated into particles for easy processing and usage.
Granule Refinement
Granules are screened to achieve uniform size before packaging.
Finished Product Packaging
Packaging must be clean and well-presented, with a secondary barcode for logistics and traceability.
Storage & Distribution
Products are stored and distributed under controlled conditions with first-in-first-out, issue management, and product recall mechanisms.
