International Growth of Lian Chinaherb AG

Lian Chinaherb AG located in Wollerau, Switzerland, the leading Swiss distributor of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), acquired the majority of Equilibre Sinovital and Mencius Distribution Sarl (Belgium / France) from private owners.

Founded on August 8, 2000, Lian Chinaherb AG started from an initiative of therapists, doctors and physicians with the aim of facilitating access to high-quality Chinese herbs and contributing to the spread of traditional Chinese medicine. Since then, the lotus blossom LIAN has thrived – in Switzerland as well as in Europe. It has established itself as a specialty pharmacy for Chinese herbal medicine. Our core competency is the dispatch of individually prescribed herbal formulas from dried raw herbs and granules. We also develop and produce finished products in the fields of skin care and nutritional supplements.

Equilibre-Sinovital (RONCQ, FR) has been established in the market for Chinese pharmacopoeia and alternative medicine for over 20 years. The laboratory serves more than 800 practitioners and 250,000 patients in France and Belgium but also across Europe.

For 12 years, the main activity of Mencius Distribution Sarl (Pierrelatte, FR) is the production of homogenized and dietary foods and the production of food intended for special nutritional purposes.
