Lipton investing big in nation's supply chain

Global tea brand Lipton is doubling down on its China strategy with a major investment in supply chain infrastructure, as it looks to regain momentum in a market increasingly dominated by freshly brewed and sugar-free tea drinks.

Hiufan Tsang, general manager of Lipton Greater China, recently led a site visit to Huangshan in Anhui province to inspect progress on the Liheng central warehouse — a logistics hub expected to streamline the brand's operations across the country, according to a media report.

With a total investment exceeding 50 million yuan ($6.9 million), the project is designed for completion in 2027 and is a cornerstone of Lipton's efforts to cut costs, improve delivery efficiency and sustain margins in a rapidly shifting market.
