In 1923, the story began with the “Jiufu Pharmaceutical Company”. Huang Chujiu founded it. It was one of Shanghai’s earliest national drug factories. It stood at 710 Aiduya Road now Yanan West Road. The “Jiufu” trademark became the company’s registered mark.
In October 1964, the company changed its name. It became the “Shanghai Huanghe Pharmaceutical Factory”. That year the factory helped set national standards. These standards were for tablet production quality control. They created the “Four Eliminations and One Guarantee”. This ensured quality. In 1965, the Chinese medical industry promoted this quality control experience. The Commerce Department announced an exemption from inspection. This was for Shanghai Huanghe Pharmaceutical Factory products.
From the 1960s tablet production was always high. In the late 1970s production reached 11 billion tablets. This was the highest in the country. In 2002, it became a fully owned subsidiary. This was of Shanghai Pharmaceutical. In 2009, it was renamed “Shanghai Xinyi Pharmaceutical Factory No 2”. It operated independently. It maintained its quality management system. In 2015, the name changed slightly again. It became “Shanghai Shangyao Xinyi Pharmaceutical Factory No 2”.
Many products made by Xinyi No 2 are affordable. They are high-quality and popular. Consumers recognize them. The factory strives for stable product quality. It also aims for low production costs and high work efficiency. It is a classic drug production base.
