Medicom Announces New Mask Production Facility in Singapore
MONTREAL, June 4, 2020 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

The Medicom Group, ("Medicom"), one of the world's leading manufacturers of 
surgical and respiratory masks, has announced the further expansion of its 
global footprint with the opening of a mask manufacturing facility in 
Singapore. Established as the KHM Engineering company, the factory will produce 
millions of masks per month. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the 
importance of resilient supply chains for personal protective equipment. The 
establishment of the new manufacturing facility will see Singapore as the 
latest of a growing number of countries that Medicom is investing in to ensure 
proximity of production to end markets.

Earlier this year, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that the 
Canadian Government had placed orders for tens of millions of masks from 
Medicom and that an agreement had been reached to support the opening of a 
manufacturing facility in Canada to help ensure ongoing supply for local 
demand. The same week, French President Emmanuel Macron toured Medicom's 
Kolmi-Hopen facility near Angers, France, to reassure French citizens that his 
government is working with that country's number one mask producer to maximize 
output for local critical care professionals.

As a trusted manufacturer of personal protective equipment for over thirty 
years, Medicom has built long-standing relationships with governments and 
healthcare providers around the world. The company's expertise, along with 
significant experience navigating large contracts and establishing mass 
production capabilities, make the company an attractive partner for those 
seeking to secure local and international supply to meet both current and 
future needs.

"One of our key strengths globally is our strong partnerships with local 
governments and healthcare stakeholders, established in Hong Kong, France, 
Canada and now Singapore," stated Global Chief Operating Officer Guillaume 
Laverdure. "Working with the Medicom Group is one of most efficient ways to 
ensure ongoing supply, which is vital during a pandemic, but our belief is that 
it is critically important at all times."

With manufacturing operations strategically distributed across three continents 
and an extensive global network of raw materials suppliers, Medicom has been 
uniquely positioned to meet the exponential demand for personal protective 
products like face masks throughout the current crisis. The company's role, 
however, is expected to remain critical even after the COVID-19 pandemic is 
over.

Both throughout the ongoing crisis and afterwards, Medicom remains committed to 
meeting the personal protective equipment needs of healthcare professionals 
across the globe, whether by opening local manufacturing facilities or through 
international supply agreements.
