Cosmax Group said it took part in 'HNC 2026 (Healthplex Expo 2026, Natural & Nutraceutical Products China 2026),' a B2B trade show for health functional foods held in Shanghai, China, from the 15th to the 17th, as it moved to strengthen its push into global markets.
Held every year at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (NECC) in Shanghai, HNC is Asia's largest B2B event for the health supplement industry, bringing together companies from raw materials to research, development and manufacturing (ODM).
At this year's exhibition, Cosmax NBT and Cosmax Bio, the group's health supplement ODM companies, set up a joint booth under the theme "COSMAX Science of Wellness: Advanced Tech in Your Daily Routine." The two companies created a one-stop booth covering ingredients, formulations, packaging and cross-border e-commerce (CBEC).
Cosmax Group highlighted the synergy created by combining the strengths of both companies, presenting itself as a "total health partner" that handles everything from planning and development to production and supply. As a result, about 500 brands visited the booth for product development consultations, underscoring its presence as a global ODM partner. The two companies also jointly received the Smart Manufacturing Technology Innovation Leading Company Award at the event.
The joint booth was organized around six themes: ingredient zone, formulation zone, wellness zone, life-stage zone, global zone and CBEC zone.
In the ingredient zone, the company showcased in-house ingredients with a range of functions, from inner beauty to mental care, including Re:PDRN, AGEs Blocker (Baechoyang, goji berry and fig complex extract), THEOLIM (lime cacao complex extract) and RelaxPLX (lemon verbena extract). In the formulation zone, it presented a wide range of tablet formats, including ultra-small tablets such as a:dam and mini-tablet, as well as oral-dissolving som-tab, along with innovative formats such as dual packs, softgels and gummies. The life-stage zone highlighted customized portfolios spanning the entire life cycle, from infants to seniors, while the global zone showcased its network in South Korea, China, Australia and the United States to emphasize its global manufacturing infrastructure.
A Cosmax Group official said, "It was meaningful to present a concentration of innovative technologies at HNC, where global industry players gather, based on the synergy between Cosmax NBT and Cosmax Bio." The official added, "With customized ingredients and formulation innovations that cover the entire life cycle, we will further solidify Cosmax Group's position in China's health supplement market and the global market as well."
