Challenge for firms going into making face masks


An employee packages finished protective masks on the production line at the Taiwan Comfort Champ Manufacturing Co. plant in Taoyuan, Taiwan, on Friday, June 12, 2020.

PETALING JAYA: The declining prices of surgical face masks may pose a challenge for companies that are looking to venture or expand into the manufacturing of these masks.

While most face masks retail at a standard price of RM75 for a box of 50 pieces at pharmacies, there are some that are priced at a lower RM43 per box, particularly those that are imported from China.
