KUALA LUMPUR (Dec 2): HIL Industries Bhd has expanded its face mask product range to include surgical-grade masks with antiviral and filtration efficiency to remove over 99.9% of virus and airborne particles. The company in July 2020 ventured into the personal protective equipment (PPE) and healthcare business. HIL Industries president and chief executive officer Datuk Milton Ng said the addition to the company’s face mask product line-up is timely, considering rising demand for higher-quality face masks. “As economic and social activities resume globally on the back of mass-vaccination, demand for higher-quality face masks remains solid as another line of defence against the emergence of new variants of the Covid-19 virus, including Delta, Delta Plus and Omicron,” he said. HIL Industries was last traded at 98 sen, valuing it at RM327.36 million.
