Botanikind has established a vertically integrated supply chain in China through which natural ingredients can be obtained directly from farmers for the food, drink and supplement industries. In doing so the company ensures quality and transparency between producers and consumers. The direct, simple supply chain additionally lowers costs.

Botanikind is proactively pursuing a decentralized structure in order to be as close to its customers as possible. The company sees Basel as the ideal location for its European headquarters as it is situated centrally and has great innovation potential due to the life sciences companies that are resident there. A team will now be established in Basel to make and implement strategic decisions for the European market. Furthermore, the company will open its own laboratory in Basel in the coming year. The proximity to life sciences companies is additionally important to Botanikind because the products it markets can also be used in supplements with health benefits.
