Valbiotis continues its expansion in Asia

Creation by the Chinese joint venture of a subsidiary in Singapore to access several key Asian markets
with the goal of becoming the reference in Asia for preventing cardiometabolic imbalances through natural, effective and clinically tested solutions

La Rochelle, May 11, 2026 (5:40 PM CEST) – Valbiotis (FR0013254851 – ALVAL, PEA/PME eligible), a French laboratory specializing in the design and distribution of scientifically tested dietary supplements to support health at every stage of life, announces the creation by its Chinese joint venture, Hangzhou Valbiotis Life Health Technology, of a subsidiary in Singapore. This presence marks a key first step in the joint venture’s expansion in Asia, outside of China and Hong Kong where it is already operational. 

The new subsidiary will gradually address several strategic markets in the Asia region, notably Singapore, Vietnam, Indonesia and Japan. The marketing model will rely on both e-commerce channels and traditional distribution networks.

Selection and contracting processes with local distributors have already been initiated. Valbiotis product launches will roll out gradually depending on the timing of regulatory approvals in each country.

Commercial launch in China in the second half of 2026

This new step aligns with the ambition to make the joint venture – owned 49% by Valbiotis and 51% by its partner Aika – the Asian reference for preventing cardiometabolic imbalances through natural, effective and clinically tested solutions.  

Commercial operations in the region are still set to start in the second half of 2026, with the joint venture offering Valbiotis products adapted specifically for the Asian market to Chinese consumers. Distribution will be handled by the joint venture’s Hong Kong subsidiary through partner cross-border e-commerce (CBEC) platforms, a channel representing about 10% of the Chinese dietary supplements market.
