American Nano Silicon Technologies, Inc. was incorporated on September 6, 1996 under the laws of the State of California.
On August 26, 2006, ANNO acquired a 95% interest in Nanchong Chunfei Nano-Silicon Technologies Co., a company incorporated in the People’s Republic of China.
Nanchong Chunfei directly owns 90% of Sichuan Chunfei Refined Chemicals Co., Ltd., a Chinese corporation established under the laws of PRC on January 6, 2006. Chunfei Chemicals itself owns 92% of Sichuan Hedi Veterinary Medicines Co., Ltd. (“Hedi Medicines”), also a Chinese company incorporated under the laws of PRC on June 27, 2002.
The Company is primarily engaged in the business of manufacturing and distributing refined consumer chemical products through its subsidiary, Chunfei Chemicals, and veterinary drugs through another subsidiary, Hedi Medicines. Nanchong Chunfei’s business scope is production and sale of Micro Nano Silicon products.
Our core product, Micro Nano Silicon, is an ultra fine crystal structured chemical that is used in the chemical industry as a substitute for phosphorus additives, as a reinforcing agent for the rubber industry, and for paint and cover agents for coatings in the paper-making industry. Presently, we focus only on the chemical industry. We believe Micro Nano Silicon is an effective non-phosphorus auxiliary cleaning agent and can compete with the most commonly used phosphorus-free auxiliary agent in synthetic detergents, 4A zeolite.
We believe 4A zeolite is inferior to Micro Nano Silicon at ion-exchange, and slow-acting at lower energy-saving wash temperatures. 4A zeolite is insoluble in water, liable to re-deposit dirt, and tends to dull the color of clothes after washing. We believe Micro Nano Silicon addresses all these deficiencies, because Micro Nano Silicon can effectively combine calcium and magnesium ions in water, softening the water in order to improve the washing effect and to prevent damage to clothes. As a result, Micro Nano Silicon actually reduces the amount of detergent required for washing a load of laundry. We base our statements regarding the efficacy of our products on the positive response we’ve received from domestic washing products companies, such as Chengdu Lanfeng Group, White Cat Group, and Libai Group, who have used our products.
Prior to June 2008, the Company was engaged in the business of manufacturing and distributing refined consumer chemical products and veterinary drugs through its subsidiaries. However, our research indicated that the market for non-phosphorus detergent additives offered a significant opportunity. Our research indicated that in China 4A zeolite is the industry standard for non-phosphorus detergent agents and the feedback from our customers indicated that our product could challenge 4A zeolite for the leadership in the industry. For that reason, we developed a new Nano-Silicon production line, which was launched in July 2008. In October 2009, the construction of our Micro-Nano Silicon product line was officially complete. And as of right now, we are looking to further expand our current capacity from 30,000 tons to 50,000 tons per year.
