Last updated: 2020-02-28 18:21The outbreak of pneumonia in Wuhan has caused a shortage of mask supply in the market. Zheng Zhigang, executive vice chairman of New World (0017), said during a conference call that two mask production lines have been set up through the New World Charity Fund. It is expected to produce 200,000 masks daily, including children's masks. It will be put into production in April and distributed to non-profit organizations for free during the epidemic.
Zheng Zhigang pointed out that the production investment is about 10 million yuan. He cooperated with science and technology enterprises to develop low-cost high-sterilization masks with "nano-diamond" technology. It is expected that the new technology can block, inhibit and even kill bacteria and viruses.
He said that at the end of January, he realized that "a mask is hard to find." When he and his team fluttered their masks, they contacted suppliers in Russia, Israel, and the Middle East, and found that prices were also very erratic. They felt that Hong Kong people should rely on their own epidemic to strengthen themselves. A few days later, I was determined to make "Made in Hong Kong" masks myself.
