Hethstia Konjac Brand History
Since 1985, Liu Lei’s father had been cultivating konjac and roughly processing it into powder.
In 1989, Liu Lei was born in Muchuan, located in the Jinsha River Basin. As a child, Liu Lei often followed his father in the fields, listening to his father talk about all aspects of konjac. A dream emerged in his heart – he wanted to take Konjac beyond Muchuan.
In 2008, Liu Lei stood in front of the terminal, watching the airplane’s tail vanish into the clouds, mixed feelings of anticipation and anxiety surging in his heart. Bearing his family’s expectations and dreams for the Konjac industry, he embarked on a journey to Japan. During his study in Japan, he was amazed at the widespread popularity of konjac in Japanese cuisine. He devoted himself to learning Japanese konjac techniques.
In 2012, Liu Lei passionately returned home. After a long talk with his father, he decided to take the family business to new heights. The same year, the Hethstia Company was born. Hethstia’s core philosophy is dedicated to health and well-being. The name is a combination of “Health” and “Hestia” (the ancient Greek goddess of home and family), which outlines their mission and strengthens Liu Lei and his team’s pursuit of a simple belief: “Discover a healthier diet with konjac.”
Since 2015, Hethstia has collaborated with authoritative research institutions and top universities, such as Southwest University, the only one with a Konjac research specialty, resulting in at least five new products each year. The company has not only built an integrated platform of industry, study, and research but also won over 60 patents and several trademarks. Finally, previous intolerance symptoms disappeared through persistence and innovation. The products could be consumed long-term, providing people with a strong sense of fullness.
In 2022, Hethstia created the world’s first Konjac Technology Park, successfully developing variations of konjac that can be customized according to customers’ individual needs, such as Sentai 1-9 with high GL, and ready-to-eat konjac. This innovative move has once again transcended the limits of konjac’s taste and health, opening a new chapter for the future of food culture.
Today, Hethstia has become a renowned international company, with products sold in over 100 countries and regions, presenting new healthy dietary options. Simultaneously, Hethstia has taken on social responsibilities, helping more than 4000 konjac farmers, contributing to the 50 billion yuan comprehensive output value of Muchuan County’s 50,000-acre konjac base, providing villagers with stable wealth channels and employment opportunities. Hethstia continues to actively explore breeding.
