The pandemic Covid 19 outbreak has brought out global shortage of masks, or be specific, its’ serious shortage of the middle layer of mask – “Meltblown”. A face mask may look simple as a thin filter covered by inner and outer layer of fabrics, but it’s extremely fine mesh of sandwiched middle layer that complicates mask material production and differentiates the level of protection, allowing the wearer to breath while blocking the inflow of possible infectious particles.

In Feb 2020, we just realized that Malaysia has been too dependent on imported supplies especially Meltblown material, and in difficult time, it completely fails to be self-sufficient and put people at risk. This situation driven us to consider about possibility of setting mass Melt Blown production line in Malaysia, which we hope could bring a solution for this region.

Founded in March 2020 and at beginning stage, we are struggle to equip melt blown machine as the shortage of material has caused tension for whole supply chain which include machineries and even mask testing equipment. The machine is also very difficult to make because exacting precision is required, each thread is simultaneously fed through one of thousands of tiny precision-formed holes into flat sheets of melt-blown fabric by melting plastic material and blows it out in strands, like cotton candy. Credited to our project team past 25 years of manufacturing and global trading experience, we successfully acquire melt blown fabric line as well as the fully automatic mask production line in this crisis period.

We started the strategic set up of production plant in June 2020, first stage two melt blown fabric lines and 7 fully automatic mask production lines make our capacity achieve daily production of 1 million pieces of mask. In order to further relief mask shortage issue, we will also consistently supply meltblown material to other mask producers in Malaysia in stable & reasonable pricing, we believe it will bring another 1 million pieces daily output of masks to market.

In next stage we will add another 3 melt blown fabric lines & 13 mask production lines, aim to make Malaysia is self-sufficient for mask consumption without dependent on any country, providing the affordable & quality face mask to our people.

Melt blown is the core material of personal protective equipment, by equipping core technology, our innovation driven R&D team will constantly develop and upgrades Durio products.
