To qualify to support the customer's Quality & Quantity
Quantity
Main Chitosan raw material are snow crab shells and blue crab shells , which made of clean and fresh material. Daily directly from our GMP/HACCP food manufacturing plant, approximately 3-5 tons. Our snow crab shells' Chitosan capacity is stable at more than 40 tons per year
Quality
Our collaboration with a GMP/HACCP seafood factory, along with our EU certificates. Ensures that we use only the freshest crab shells from our seafood production line to manufacture Chitosan.
We are committed to implementing and maintaining the highest quality systems, including QMS, HACCP, and ISO series with certification.
Bio21's partner from the food processing factory is certified in HACCP and EU. Our Chitin and Chitosan products are produced from high-quality raw materials (snow crab shells) and qualified for use in Chitosan food, medical devices, and pharma.
Our raw material snow crab shells for Food-grade Chitosan, Medical-device grade Chitosan , and Pharma grade Chitosan are qualified the regulation (EU) no. 722/2012 (Medical Devices risk management and controls to prevent spreading certain animal-borne diseases to users of their products) requirements
One of the specialists Chitosan manufacturer
This is from thinking about the world, especially products that help the environment and valuable products for all things, not just humans.
Why did we choose to manufacture Chitosan?
Chitosan, a natural polymer derived from seafood production waste, has the transformative power to turn what was once a 'by-product' into a valuable resource. This potential is truly inspiring.
Chitosan is a natural product; the benefits of Chitosan are not only for human use but beneficial to the environment;
- It is used for wastewater treatment and water treatment for consumer
- Eliciting plants (a natural growth hormone)
- Reduction of FCR (Feed Conversion Rate) in economic animals
- Biodegradable products such as spoons and plates
- Medical devices lower LDL cholesterol and fat-binding (triglyceride) for human or animal farming consumption
, etc
At Bio21, our journey with Chitosan began with a small team. Despite the challenges, we have persevered, never wavering in our commitment to this valuable product. Our unwavering dedication instills confidence in the potential we see in Chitosan.
We have been going step-by-step on research and development for Chitosan products and Chitosan applications products, production line development, raw materials, quality systems, and business partners

It comes from vision, commitment, and a belief in the beneficial effects of Chitosan products on all things, not only humans. We believe in our potential to prove human ability, chemistry, and biotechnology knowledge. We established Aqua Premier (Bannawach Bio-Line) to manufacture Chitosan.
2003 - start from Chitin production
Industrial scale of Chitin production for the raw material of Glocosamne production project
2004- The first factory of Chitin and Chitosan
The first Chtin and Chitosan production plant construction, in proposes for expanding capacity under Bannawach Bio-Line Co.,Ltd.
2005-2008 Chitosan production project
- A member of the R&D team in part of Chitosan preparation for enhanced Chitosan derivative for a dietary supplement, L112 Biopolymer and Chitosan spec L112 in research and development of;
Optimizing chitosan characteristics for effective use in human weight-loss regimens
Phase I & II study Chitosan of interest
Phase III study: Chitosan of interest in rats
- Investment in equipment, machinery, lab-room, lab equipment, and clean-room class 100k environment for manufacturing L112 Biopolymer and Chitosan in medical device grade and food grade included implementing the QMS (Quality Management System)
- Manufacturer Chitosan purpose for export and material to produce L112 Biopolymer
- Manufacturer L112 Biopolymer export to USA which re-export to EU finished-product wide-popular in EU countries
- Produce Chitin export to Japan, we have expanded Chitin production capacity to the Indonesia factory
November 2008
- Mr. Kasem and Mr. Paisan have chosen to walk away from the Bannawach Bio-line factory for shareholder reasons. Then Bio21 was established along with the first strategic planned "we are one of the Specialist Chitosan Manufacturer"
- Continue research and development in Chitosan and L112 Biopolymer
- Launch finished-product L112 Absorbital, a natural fiber fat binding tablets and capsule type for a human consumption
