The production of acetic anhydride in China began in the 1950s. By the end of 2010, the total production capacity of acetic anhydride in China was about 681000 tons. Nanjing Fengming Plastic Chemical Co., Ltd. was founded in 2004 with a registered capital of 12.28 million. In 1958, Shanghai Chemical Reagent Factory established the first acetic anhydride production unit in China by the method of acetaldehyde oxidation, which greatly improved the production capacity of acetic anhydride in China. The headquarter is located in Gaochun County Economic Development Zone, Nanjing. It mainly deals in basic chemical raw materials, fine chemical industry, API, pharmaceutical intermediates, plastics, solvents and other related products. The company maintains cooperation and trade with more than 20 countries and regions. The country has stable domestic user resources and has established good business relations with many state-owned enterprises and listed companies.
         In recent years, apparent consumption of acetic anhydride in China has been increasing continuously. In 2005, the apparent consumption was only 219300 tons, which exceeded 300000 tons in 2008, reaching 315500 tons, and the apparent consumption in 2010 was about 3697 million tons, The annual growth rate of demand from 2005 to 2010 was about 22.80%. At present, the consumption structure of acetic anhydride in China is: the demand for cellulose acetate (cellulose diacetate, cellulose triacetate and mixed cellulose) accounts for about 44.5% of the total consumption, 23.5% in the pharmaceutical industry, 8.5% in the dye industry, 23.5% in other aspects, such as modified starch, spices and agriculture.
