PERMAJU Industries Bhd’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Team Japs Sdn Bhd, has teamed up with AT Engineering Solution Sdn Bhd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of AT Systematization Bhd (ATS), to distribute Penaclo solution via an engineered sanitising box.
In a joint statement, Permaju said the sanitising box (Sanitizer Gateway) is able to dispense sanitiser and disinfectant liquid solution evenly on any person walking through it.
Permaju executive director Teh Foo Hock said it is important to be ready for the post-Movement Control Order (MCO) as people would be confronted with a new environment.
On April 6, Permaju collaborated with Pentaweft Biotech Ltd for the supply of the Penaclo solution.
This solution is one of the very few sanitiser solutions in the world that was successfully tested by China’s State Key Lab of Respiratory Diseases, as effective in eradicating over 99.95% of the Covid-19 virus within the first 30 seconds of application, and is proven safe to animal cells.
“While looking for bottling and distribution partners for the sanitiser solution, our company came out with the idea of Sanitizer Gateway and decided to approach AT Systemization for the design and manufacturing of the Gateway.
“Time is of the essence. We need to roll out the product fast before the MCO is lifted,” said Teh.
Meanwhile, ATS managing director Choong Lee Aun said fabrication of the first Sanitiser Gateway will be ready soon, and the company has been getting many enquiries for its post-MCO products in the last few weeks.
“Both Permaju and AT Systematization aim to design, engineer, manufacture and distribute the Sanitizer Gateway that dispenses Penaclo solution to high-risk areas.
“This include hospitals, offices, restaurants, shopping malls, schools and public transportation hubs where high human foot traffic occurs on a daily basis, especially once the MCO is lifted by the government and until a definitive vaccine is found for the Covid-19 virus, manufactured and administered worldwide,” Choong said. — April 28, 2020, Bernama
