Under the new crown pneumonia epidemic, Hong Kong people displayed the spirit of Lion Rock, and local mask production lines have been put into production one after another. Li Bingfeng, who was born in the 1980s, and his two friends spent 10 million yuan to set up the "Good Mask" company, set up 10 production lines in Dapu Industrial Village to produce masks made in Hong Kong, and produced two European standard EN14683 Type I and Type IIR surgery. Masks, Nissan 200,000 to 300,000 masks.

Good Mask applied for the government's "Local Mask Production Subsidy Scheme" but was not selected. The production cost continues to rise, and it will end at any time. At the same time, the local mask market may be saturated in the future, but they claim to have confidence in the quality of masks. "Hong Kong people buy money, it's a good idea", hoping to successfully run out of many masks.

The Department of Health announced on January 23 that the first confirmed case of new coronary pneumonia in Hong Kong, a mask scarcity appeared on the market, and the price soared. The government launched a local mask production subsidy program to subsidize 20 local production lines to increase the supply of local masks. The first mask production line of the selected plant can receive a subsidy of 3 million yuan; the second approved production line can receive an additional 2 million yuan, that is, each company can receive up to 5 million yuan, and the selected companies have all Announced.

Li Bingfeng, CEO of Good Mask, established a brand in Tai Po Industrial Village with nearly 10 million yuan in joint venture with two friends who were also post-80s. They purchased 9 mask production machines in Taiwan and the Mainland, set up a total of 10 production lines, and purchased raw material melt-blown fabrics and non-woven fabrics from FDA registered companies in the Mainland, Taiwan, and the United States. The plant is a 4,000-square-foot dust-free workshop rented to produce optical fibers, which meets the ISO Class 10 standard in ISO 14644-1, which is higher than the government's requirements.

Three are fully automatic production lines, and seven are semi-automatic production lines. Production began in March. Currently, the daily output of masks reaches 200,000 to 300,000, but the brand has not been selected for government funding.

Regarding the defeat, Li Bingfeng felt that it might be related to the later application. "The government has sent people to the factory, but there is no news in the follow-up. We are all busy making masks and have no way to collect the wind." Funding, I am confident that I will at least pay back the capital, but because of the rising production costs, I am losing money at any time.

Selling $ 168 yuan 50 monthly labor costs 1 million

Li Bingfeng revealed that they had negotiated with Taiwanese manufacturers to purchase machines after the Lunar New Year. "The first fully-automatic machine produced in Taiwan used about 2 million Hong Kong dollars at that time." He was glad to decide to do it early, otherwise Taiwan would later restrict It is believed that the export of masks, etc., will be difficult for the machinery to ship; all 9 mask production machines cost nearly 7 million yuan, "Our IKEA liquidity is tight."

But the price of the two masks is not cheap, respectively 138 yuan 30 packs and 168 yuan 50 packs. Still want to lose money? Li Bingfeng explained that in addition to the machine being difficult to buy and expensive, the main raw material for producing masks is the same as Luoyang paper. "Last week, it sold 500,000 yuan a ton, and this week it has risen to 800,000 yuan a ton." About 80 workers, plus 6 technicians, the monthly labor cost has exceeded 1 million yuan. "Please ask the pilot to tell you that it is the most difficult. It will cost between 50,000 and 60,000 yuan. It will be produced first. "

Faced with tight liquidity, coupled with the emergence of local mask factories and the saturation of the market, are you worried that you will not be able to withstand it someday? Li Bingfeng simple response: "At that time no epidemic continues to recite a few too resistant, only to find more than 200,000 daily masks help a epidemic, emotionally I Die certainly hope that soon the epidemic GOD in the past, when I Die again recite the transition."

At the same time , Li Bingfeng is very confident in his own brand, emphasizing that the mask has 100% confidence guarantee. Good Mask's two masks have been verified to be EN14683 Type I (BFE) of 95%; and Type IIR (BFE) of 98% and can block the penetration of liquids, which is the highest level in the EU standard. "We are asking colleagues to change protective clothing before entering the clean room, to wear masks after washing their hands, and to wear disposable gloves. The masks are changed every 4 to 6 hours. After the masks are produced, they will be sterilized by UV lamps." He added To be clear, the price of the two masks may be raised again, but I believe "Hong Kong people buy money, it is not money, it is good to know."
