Coronavirus: Glove makers ramping up to meet global demand

KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Rubber Glove Manufacturers Association (MARGMA) says its members are doing their best to ensure an adequate supply of medical gloves following the spread of the novel coronavirus globally from Wuhan, China.

Its president Denis Low said with China requesting more urgent shipments, MARGMA members are ramping up production to meet the request.

Believing that demand for gloves will increase, Low urged association members to give priority to the affected areas and countries.

“As a responsible industry player, we will do our part to ensure sufficient gloves reach the affected people and territories,” he said in a statement today. – Jan 28, 2020, Bernama
