SUPERMAX Corporation Bhd – one of the country’s Big Four glove makers – has been alerted that certain unauthorised parties are taking advantage of the global shortage of gloves and Supermax’s prominence and good standing to attempt and commit fraud.
There are parties who claim to be involved in sales and marketing of nitrile and latex gloves as well as other personal protective equipment (PPEs) produced by Supermax and its subsidiary companies – Supermax Glove Manufacturing Sdn Bhd, Maxter Glove Manufacturing Sdn Bhd, Maxwell Glove Manufacturing Bhd and SuperVision Optimax Sdn Bhd.
These unauthorised parties claim to be readily able to provide volume, stock and capacity and have disseminated fabricated documents to support their false claims.
Additionally, there are also investment scam syndicates and fraudulent parties using Supermax’s corporate credentials to promote investment schemes via social media. These parties are claiming high returns within a short period of time.
The glove maker advices the public not to entertain such fraudulent claims. It also cautioned the public to be vigilant so as not to fall victim to such scams.
“Supermax will take legal action against any parties who fraudulently claiming or misrepresenting themselves to be acting for and/or on behalf of the company,” Supermax added.
