GLOVEMAKER Riverstone Holdings has seen a surge in orders as the Covid-19 outbreak creates increased demand for healthcare gloves.
The Malaysia-headquartered company is now producing as many as it can in a race to meet global shortages.
"We are seeing such a large surge in demand for healthcare gloves that we are facing some difficulty in fulfilling these requirements," said Wong Teek Son, Riverstone's executive chairman and chief executive. "We had to reject some orders from new clients as priority is being given to existing ones."
