In the 1990s, Robust's AD calcium milk and purified water were popular across the country, and its "every drop of water has been purified through 27 layers" became a classic advertising slogan of that era. In 2000, Robust was acquired by France's Danone and initially operated independently. Soon the team, including founder He Boquan, left one after another, and Robust was quickly marginalized until it disappeared. In November 2016, Danone sold Robust to Ying Investment Holdings, another Chinese company located in Shenzhen. Shortly afterwards, Robust returned to the world after more than 10 years.
