Personal protective equipment includes both industrial safety gear such as gloves, helmet, suits, shoes as well as medical gear such as masks and disposable protective covers. “We are installing a protective gear plant and it will help us consolidate our 12 existing manufacturing facilities. The new plant will also enable our foray into niche products,” Ajay Kumar Mall, Managing Director, Mallcom (India), said.
The company, which reported a consolidated turnover of ₹320 core in FY21, earned around ₹7-8 crore from supplying medical Covid PPEs. The chunk of its turnover continues to come from industrial protective gear. It is eyeing a 15 per cent growth in turnover this fiscal.
