YICHANG, China, February 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Angelica Yeast Group (SH600298) recently welcomed 29 Indonesian employees to its headquarters in Yichang, China, for a six-month structured training program. The initiative is designed to develop a cohort of skilled professionals to support the commissioning and operations of Angel’s facility in Indonesia. As the Chinese Lunar New Year approaches, these young Indonesian trainees are not only learning yeast production techniques, but also familiarizing themselves with Spring Festival traditions.
In preparation for the holiday, Angel’s Yichang facility was decorated to mark the Spring Festival. Walking around the city, interns see malls crowded with people shopping for holiday items, while traditional folk melodies fill the parks. Aqil, one of the participants, said: “Everyone here is preparing for the celebrations. Amidst all the festive excitement, I can really feel the energy and richness of the culture. Before joining Angel, Aqil worked at a local technology company. Like many young professionals, he was attracted to companies with a strong international presence. This personalized training program is designed to help them transition into their new role, improve their technical skills, and strengthen cross-cultural collaboration and teamwork. The multinational program officially kicked off on November 26 last year at China’s Three Gorges University and includes 20 days of classroom instruction followed by five months of practical operational training.
The Angel Indonesia project represents a key step in the company’s international expansion. As an integral part of its global growth strategy, the project is expected to help build local industrial capabilities, create employment opportunities and strengthen linkages across the broader value chain. The training program aims to encourage participants to proactively adapt to the new environment, engage in meaningful cultural exchanges, and develop a solid mastery of theoretical knowledge and practical skills, thereby laying a solid foundation for the safe, stable and reliable operations of the future factory.
The establishment of a subsidiary in Indonesia will allow Angel to take advantage of local resources, strategic location and pricing advantages, thereby accelerating its expansion into neighboring Asian markets. The project, launched in 2025 in the south-central province of Lampung, is located next to the joint venture partner’s sugarcane factory. The site is currently under development, with completion and commissioning planned for 2027. The project includes a yeast production line with an annual capacity of 20,000 tonnes, supported by a wastewater treatment facility capable of treating 3,500 tonnes per day, as well as an organic fertilizer project designed to reduce waste and improve resource efficiency, with an annual production of 20,000 tonnes. Angel Yeast Indonesia will source large quantities of locally produced molasses, converting by-products into usable inputs while promoting cleaner production practices. Wastewater from yeast production will be treated and transformed into organic fertilizer, and the fine yeast by-products will be sold as animal feed, thereby supporting local agriculture and livestock farming, while serving as a practical example of the principles of the circular economy.
The Angel Yeast Indonesia factory is a key part of the company’s global manufacturing network. For Angel, global operations go beyond increasing production capacity; they focus on supporting the local yeast industry through technology transfer and workforce development, while contributing to the growth of related value chains and creating employment opportunities. These young interns are being groomed to become the core team of the Indonesian factory, playing an important role in facilitating global operations, industry collaboration and cross-cultural engagement.
