\nThe Move Into China Highlights A Significant Milestone For The Company As It Continues Its Mission To Tackle Iron Deficiency Globally Using Socially Conscious Business Practices.

Toronto, ON, March 03, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lucky Iron Fish Enterprise (LIFe)<\/a>, a Canadian social enterprise that is committed to tackling iron deficiency, is pleased to announce that, after months of preparation, it has officially expanded its presence into Mainland China.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The World Health Organization estimates that two billion people – over 30% of the world’s population – are anemic, mostly due to iron deficiency.\u00a0 LIFe\u2019s simple cooking tools, Lucky Iron Fish and Lucky Iron Leaf, make it easy for families to enrich meals with a boost of natural iron for many years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Since the beginning of the pandemic, trends in adoption to online shopping have accelerated. Paired with this, LIFe also noted that an increasing number of people were seeking \u2018ways to eat healthier\u2019, \u2018ways to improve immunity\u2019, and overall looking to invest in their health & wellness. These trends have lent themselves to LIFe\u2019s growth strategies. The company saw an increase in organic traffic, social media community, and e-commerce revenue since March 31, 2020. Sales from April-December of 2020 were 144% higher than the same period the previous year, exceeding growth projections by ~15%.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cOur mission is an ambitious one – to eradicate iron deficiency globally. With China being the largest market in the world and its iron deficiency rates as high as 20%, we knew we had to find a way to better serve this group,\u201d said Founder & CEO Dr. Gavin Armstrong.<\/p>\n

While expanding to China had been a medium-term goal for LIFe, the pandemic accelerated the timeline as the company pivoted and doubled down on its e-commerce growth and paused its institutional sales channel. This expansion represents a key strategic growth initiative for LIFe as it continues its mission to help improve the lives of billions of people who suffer from iron deficiency globally.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The company is currently selling its original product, Lucky Iron Fish, on Tmall Global<\/a> but will be introducing its other product, the Lucky Iron Leaf<\/a>, during phase two of the expansion.\u00a0<\/p>\n

LIFe is a certified B-Corporation that has been recognized for incorporating sustainable and ethical practices into its business model, positioning social impact at the heart of its business.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Making its innovation accessible to communities in need is a core value of the company.\u00a0 LIFe uses a portion of every sale to donate to its Impact Fund, which provides free units as well as\u00a0 nutrition training to undernourished and underserved populations. LIFe is\u00a0 committed to preserving this impact model<\/a> for its Chinese expansion.\u00a0<\/p>\n
