Tonisity Obtains Import Registration from Government of China for Tonisity Px

By: Newsfile

Dublin, Ireland--(Newsfile Corp. - August 5, 2022) - Tonisity International Limited ("Tonisity"), an animal health and nutrition company based in Ireland, is pleased to announce that the General Administration of Customs in the People's Republic of China has approved the importation of Tonisity Px, which is Tonisity's flagship swine product.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs in China approved the registration of Tonisity Px in 2021, which enabled Tonisity to legally sell in the Chinese market. Having now obtained approval to import Px into China, Tonisity is now positioned to immediately accelerate sales of Tonisity Px into the largest swine market in the world.

About Tonisity Px

Tonisity Px is a patented isotonic protein drink that directly nourishes the intestinal cells of the small intestines of certain animals, including piglets, which accelerates and increases the absorption of all nutrients into the body of the animal. The result is higher weight gain, lower mortality and less need for medications for these animals - all producing a high return on investment for producers. Tonisity Px is patented in many countries in the world and is currently being sold in Europe, Asia, North America, South America and Australia. Currently, Tonisity Px is manufactured in Ireland.

Joint Venture in China

In July 2020, Tonisity entered into a joint venture agreement, as the controlling partner, with a Chinese minority partner in order to market Tonisity's swine and companion products in China and Taiwan, including Hong Kong. Tonisity contributed technology and intellectual property to the joint venture, while the joint venture partner contributed funding, senior local management and a sales, marketing and logistics team. China is the largest consumer of pork worldwide, accounting for over 54 million tonnes of consumption of the global 112 million tonnes of pig consumption.[1] Tonisity companion animal products were launched in Hong Kong in January 2021, while Tonisity Px was simultaneously being soft-launched with select swine producers in China.

OEM Production in China

Tonisity and its joint venture partner have engaged an original equipment manufacturer in China to process Tonisity's products locally for the Chinese market. With the registration of Px, Tonisity expects to begin processing Px in China in the coming weeks, and is preparing to produce all of its other swine and companion products in China in the near future.

Arie Halpern, CEO of Tonisity, comments: "Having received approval to import our Px product from the government of the largest swine market in the world, Tonisity is poised to accelerate sales in this sector. Px is a proven technology that improves the health and well-being of pigs, while generating significantly more revenue for producers. We are pleased to have achieved this important milestone and will work diligently to ramp up sales in China, while working to obtain regulatory permits for the rest of our products. Tonisity is poised to become a leading global animal health company."

In anticipation of this milestone, Tonisity's Chinese partners have obtained pre-orders from customers in China and have built significant inventory to meet anticipated demand. Further updates will be provided in the near future.
