Chinese supplier quits vitamin A and E

28-May-2009

Chinese supplier, Zhejiang NHU Limited, has ceased production of vitamin A in response to wilting demand.

The company said it would halt production until at least the end of August, when it would reconsider its position.

Vitamin E was also being put on hold from the end June until the end of August.

With the recession starting to bite in China, the company said it had revised its profit forecasts to be 60-80 percent less than last year, rather than 40-70 percent less as it initially forecast.
