Coffee with Samso Episode 44 with Sebastian Chang, Non-Executive Director, VIP Gloves Limited (ASX:VIP)
Glove manufacturing is making many companies profitable and it is not just because of the COVID-19 pandemic
The glove-making business is one of those sectors that does not call out for attention. The recent pandemic with COVID-19 has brought them out out of hiding and into the limelight. It is a simple business that is making many companies very profitable.
This is not a common business in Australia, in fact, there is no other company on the Australian Stock Exchange that can call themselves glove makers. Malaysia is the market leader in the glove-making industry. The big four major producers, Top Glove Corporation Berhad, Hartalega Holdings Berhad, Supermax Corporation Berhad and Kossan Rubber Industries Berhad are world market leaders in this sector.
In this episode of Coffee with Samso, Sebastian Chang, Non-Executive Director of the company shares with us the story of VIP and the business of Gloves Makers.
Sebastian shows us that the business is not about the COVID-19 Pandemic but it is all about Occupational Health and Safety factors that are driving the business.
Sebastian also highlights why he thinks the glove business will keep its course of high demand and growing sales. Profit margins will be sustained and the ASP (Average Selling Price) will continue to increase, but at a slower rate for the next 12 to 24 months.
