Aspen Holdings
The company's new glove-making venture will produce US$100 million (S$132 million) worth of medical-grade examination gloves for an unnamed third-party distributor.
The agreement is for the offtake of the entire 2021 production of Aspen unit Aspen Glove, it said yesterday. This amounts to an estimated one billion pieces of gloves to be produced from May 1 to Dec 31 this year.
The US$100 million sales value is based on average selling prices of US$100 per 1,000 pieces of gloves.
