Scalable Innovation,
from Lab to Industry

At Leaf Bio, we combine cutting-edge research with world-class manufacturing to turn breakthrough materials into real-world solutions. Our integrated innovation system spans from early-stage molecular research to full-scale industrial production.

Our R&D Ecosystem

1. Hefei – Headquarters & Process Development Center

Our central operations and core R&D center. This is where advanced catalytic systems and continuous-flow synthesis processes are developed to scale up FDCA and its derivatives efficiently.

HQ + Synthesis R&D Center

Process scale-up and catalytic R&D

3. Bengbu – Pilot-Scale Production Site

Our intermediate-scale line, enabling ton-scale pilot runs of HMF and FDCA. It bridges lab-scale innovation and industrial implementation, accelerating commercialization of new technologies.

Ton-scale Pilot Line

Technology validation & commercialization

2. Hangzhou – plant based Materials & Application Center

Our innovation hub for material science, fiber development, and downstream application testing. Here, we explore new functionalities and create next-generation textile and packaging solutions based on furan-based materials.

Plant-based Application Center

Focus on furan fiber & product development

4. Tongling – Flagship Industrial Plant

A state-of-the-art production base with 10,000-ton annual capacity for HMF and FDCA. This is one of the world’s first large-scale manufacturing facilities dedicated to furan-based monomers.
