Forbes China Officially Releases——Babychan Harbin Factory Wins the Annual Outstanding Benchmark Factory Award.

On March 23, 2026, Forbes China, in conjunction with the China Big Consumer CXO Innovation Center, officially announced the results of the "2026 Forbes China Consumer Industry Awards". Relying on its leading intelligent manufacturing capabilities, stringent quality control system, and full industrial chain integration capacity, Babychan Harbin Yogurt Factory stood out from numerous participating enterprises and was awarded the title of "2026 Consumer Industry Annual Outstanding Benchmark Factory".

This marks the brand's first Forbes honor for its manufacturing facility, following Babychan’s selection as one of Forbes China's "Consumer Industry Annual Growth Enterprises" in 2025. The progression from "Growth Enterprise" to "Benchmark Factory" signifies a key breakthrough in Babychan strategy of "full industrial chain layout", and also establishes the Harbin Factory as a new benchmark for quality in China's infant and child food manufacturing sector.

The Forbes China Consumer Awards are hailed as the "Oscars" of the big consumer sector. With a rigorous selection process and a comprehensive evaluation system, they have become an authoritative benchmark in the global business community. The 2026 awards focus on Intelligent Manufacturing Upgrade · Quality Leadership · Sustainable Future. Based on four core dimensions—intelligent manufacturing capabilities, quality control standards, supply chain integration efficiency, and sustainable development potential—the awards identify benchmark factories that play an exemplary and leading role in the wave of intelligent manufacturing upgrades.

Babychan Harbin Factory stood out among numerous top-tier corporate facilities. This achievement not only recognizes its strong hardware capabilities but also serves as an authoritative endorsement of its strategic commitment to taking full control of product quality in its own hands

Located in Heilongjiang Province, Babychan Harbin Factory represents a key step in the brand’s transition from an OEM model to a full industrial chain with heavy asset investment. With a total investment of hundreds of millions of yuan and an annual production capacity of 8,000 tons, the factory has adhered to the core philosophy of a “transparent supply chain” since its launch, opening the entire production process to consumers.

Milk Source Advantage Situated on the world-renowned Golden Milk Source Belt, the factory uses A2 organic milk to ensure product quality from the source.

Intelligent Manufacturing Capabilities Equipped with a Class 100,000 cleanroom, fully automated production lines, and an intelligent warehousing and logistics system, the factory guarantees an aseptic, efficient and fully traceable production process.

Quality Control System A three-tier closed-loop quality control system has been established: 217 screening items for incoming raw materials + real-time microbial monitoring during production + full inspection of finished products before delivery. Every batch of products undergoes rigorous testing before market launch, making quality visible and trustworthy.

As the first infant canned supplementary yogurt project in Northeast China, the Babychan Harbin Factory has received high attention from the Harbin New Area Administrative Committee since its inception. Not only is it the first industrial project put into production in the new area in 2026, but it is also positioned as a benchmark demonstration project for the development of the green and healthy food industry in the region.

Back in 2025, Babychan was named one of Forbes China’s "Annual Growth Enterprises in the Consumer Sector". At that time, the brand was in a phase of rapid growth, and the Harbin Factory had just come into operation. One year later, the factory has won the title of "Annual Outstanding Benchmark Factory". This marks that the brand has shifted from scale expansion to in-depth quality development, and from marketing-driven growth to industrial-driven growth.

Behind this rapid transformation lies Babychan's profound understanding of "quality". While the infant & toddler snack and complementary food industry generally relies on OEM production, Babychan resolutely invested heavily in building its own factories, taking back control of the production of its core product categories. As consumers grow increasingly concerned about food safety, Babychan took the lead in opening its production lines transparently to the public. The confidence to “boldly turn the back kitchen into the front stage” comes exactly from its full assurance in the factory’s hard power.

In the infant and toddler snack & complementary food sector, most brands still operate under an "asset-light, marketing-heavy" model. The launch and award-winning recognition of Babychan Harbin Factory offer an alternative path for the industry: "self-built factories + full industrial chain control". It proves that infant and child food brands can not only excel in marketing and distribution, but also become experts in production and manufacturing.

As the production capacity of the Harbin Factory continues to ramp up, Babychan is gradually bringing more core product categories into its own production system, laying a solid foundation of trust for the brand’s long-term development. This modern factory, located in the Ice City of northern China, not only fulfills the nutritional expectations of hundreds of millions of Chinese families but is also becoming a showcase for China’s intelligent manufacturing of infant and child food to reach the world.

With two prestigious awards, it is an honor as well as a responsibility. Standing at a new starting point in 2026, Babychan will stay true to its original aspiration, take the Harbin Factory as its cornerstone of quality, and continue to promote the standardization, transparency, and high-quality development of the infant and child food industry.

From the black soil of Northeast China to maternal and child families across the country, from the pioneer of infant-standard yogurt to the definer of industry standards, Babychan has always believed: Every bite of complementary food matters to a baby’s growth, and every standard carries the trust of a family. Starting from Harbin and taking root in its benchmark factory, this brand is being seen, recognized and trusted by more and more people.
