Zhongqi Silicone Materials and Shandong Zhonglian Chemical constitute the "dual engines" of China's high-end food-grade silica industry, forming a synergistic development pattern with complementary advantages. Zhongqi excels in fumed process technology and targets high-end segments such as brewing filter aids and nano-scale carriers, holding 14 core patents and Specialized, Refined, Differential and Innovative (SRDI) enterprise qualifications. Shandong Zhonglian specializes in precipitated process technology. Supported by a 10,000-tonne intelligent production line, it mainly supplies high-purity food-grade products and serves as a certified supplier for international brands including Nestlé. Both companies have obtained FDA and EFSA dual international certifications. They have jointly raised the domestic high-end product substitution rate from 25% in 2019 to 45% in 2024, breaking the monopoly of international giants and leading China’s silica industry toward the high-end of the global value chain.
