Koon Yew Yin 10 Nov 2020

On 29 June the company said in a filing with Bursa Malaysia that it was acquiring glove maker Pearl Glove Sdn Bhd (PGSB) for RM22 million cash.

It said the vendors were Hai Hong Capital Sdn Bhd, P’ng Sim Guan, P’ng Lai Heng, Hai Hong Holdings Sdn Bhd and Aaron Khoo Teng Soon.

The group noted that the immediate outlook for PGSB’s existing business as a trusted and tested OEM/ODM manufacturer of safety gloves is extremely positive as the demand for industrial safety gloves increases proportionally with improving workplace and safety practices globally.

On 6 November AT Systematization signed an agreement with LKL International to sell and distribute natural rubber latex and nitrile gloves. It will start production of medical gloves in December.

The gloves would be mainly distributed to hospitals and healthcare providers, with a targeted volume of up to 2.6 billion pieces per year.
LKL managing director Lim Kon Lian said AT Systematization would be able to tap into the former’s extensive distribution network within the healthcare industry, both in Malaysia and internationally.
