Centric PLM to empower premium health and nutrition brands with enhanced global collaboration and faster product development

CAMPBELL, Calif., March 11, 2025 – Centric Software® is pleased to announce that H&H Group has selected Centric PLM™ to drive efficiency and streamline growth. Centric Software provides the most innovative enterprise solutions to plan, formulate, develop, procure, manufacture and sell consumer goods products in cosmetics & personal care, food & beverage, fashion and multi-category retail to achieve strategic and operational digital transformation goals.

Founded in 1999, H&H Group was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange’s Main Board in December 2010. The Group’s core businesses focus on three key areas: infant nutrition and care (BNC), adult natural health nutrition and care (ANC) and pet nutrition and care (PNC). With a strong commitment to creating differentiated, high-quality products and building desirable brands, H&H Group aims to become a leader in the global premium nutrition and health industry.

H&H Group’s portfolio includes seven powerhouse brands: Biostime, a global leader in maternal and infant nutrition, Swisse, the Australian natural health brand, Zesty Paws, a U.S. pet supplement brand, Solid Gold, a scientifically backed U.S. pet nutrition brand, dodie, a French baby care brand, GOOD GOÛT, a healthy, organic food brand for children and Aurelia, a premium probiotic skincare brand from the UK.

H&H Group is evolving its strategy to capture the global nutrition market through a whole-family health approach. With a focus on product innovation, brand expansion and a global distribution strategy, H&H Group is transforming its R&D process to improve collaboration, reduce risks and accelerate development by implementing a unified global R&D formula data system.

After two years of careful evaluation, H&H Group chose Centric Software as its digital partner for the group-wide R&D digital transformation project. Ms. Zhao Lingling, Director of Innovation and Research of H&H Group, explains, “Centric PLM is an agile system. Its scalable, comprehensive modules cover the entire product lifecycle, while its user-friendly interface and multilingual support enable seamless collaboration across our global teams.”

The formula tool system project of H&H Group will cover key modules such as raw material and packaging management, product formulation, scientific evaluation, compliance management and pilot testing will centralize global R&D resources, enabling teams across regions, including China, Australia and Asia Pacific, to collaborate efficiently.

Mr. Wu Xiaofan, Chief Digital and Information Officer of H&H Group, says, “Centric PLM fuels cross-functional and cross-regional collaboration. With centralized data, departments across IT, operations, quality, legal and compliance can collaborate in real-time, driving efficiency and ensuring consistency.”

For Ms. Zhao, product strength is key to brand strength, “Our product innovation is built on premium raw materials, cutting-edge formulas and world-class manufacturing. Centric PLM will centralize our global product data, enabling us to continuously improve product differentiation while ensuring quality at every stage of the lifecycle.”

Fabrice Canonge, President of Centric Software, adds, “Centric Software is thrilled to partner with H&H Group on their journey to digitally transform product development.
