THE latest glove maker to hit the Singapore market might be a minnow compared to the industry leaders, but it has big plans to increase its capacity and lift its productivity in the wake of the massive pandemic-driven boom in demand.

Jarinya Jirojkul, CEO of Sri Trang Gloves Thailand (STGT), told The Business Times in a recent interview that she expects global shortage of gloves to possibly last for the next 12 months, providing a window for her company to grow quickly.
