Top Glove net profits soar in Q2

The rubber glove manufacturer reported a 24-fold increase in profits.

Malaysia-based Top Glove posted a massive increase in profits.

In a bourse disclosure, the rubber glove manufacturer reported a net profit of MYR 2.87m for the second quarter (December 2020 - February 2021), a surge from the MYR 115,700 earned in the same period last year.

The company attributed this to the increased global demand for gloves to protect healthcare workers and the like during the pandemic.

"Our unprecedented performance also speaks to the effectiveness of our ongoing technologydriven improvement initiatives, which focus on quality and cost efficiency, and have enabled us to meet the increase in glove demandefficiently and effectively," said Top Glove managing director Lee Kim Meow.

Shares of Top Glove traded flat at the Singapore Stock Exchange Tuesday, closing at $1.69 per share.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
