Overview
Financial Highlight
HeadlinesBusiness Background Supermax Corp Bhd is an investment holding company. The company is an international manufacturer, distributor, and marketer of high-quality medical gloves. It offers various types of latex gloves, which are exported to over 155 countries around the world. The company is organized into the following operating segments, Investment Holding, Manufacturing of Gloves, Trading of Gloves and Others. It has operational footprints across America and Canada, Europe and Asia. The company's largest end market by revenue is the America.
  alenac The glove market not going anywhere but down. Prices in 2024 remained low. Unfavourable outlook to persist in 2024, with continued squeeze on margins On prospects, the group acknowledges that the rubber glove market remains lacklustre with an unfavorable outlook for 2024 due to ongoing demand-supply dynamics post-pandemic. "At the two most recent large international trade shows, the takeaway was that the oversupply situation is expected to moderate gradually over an extended period as more and more smaller players exit the market, while bigger players scale back expansion and retire older factories and production lines. "The industry is basically going through a consolidation stage at this time," the group said. Moreover, the group notes that ASPs remain suppressed, with manufacturers from China proving to be daunting competitors and believed to have taken over the global leadership from Malaysia, at least in terms of pricing. Supermax does not expect to see a significant improvement in performance for the rest of the year 2024 due to the high volume of high-priced stocks at its overseas distribution centers. https://theedgemalaysia.com/node/701611 21/02/2024 12:11 PM  EngineeringProfit Good when cheap price.................I can buy back for another round of profit$ 21/02/2024 1:58 PM  SinGor Nvidia makes Graphic Card can put 800mil Transistors into a wafer the size of thumb nail ( This is High Tech ) While Super can add 200 Bangla for every factories they Built in Malaysia however China can add 200mil workers with No immigration problems 22/02/2024 11:51 AM Adrian Tan Supermax’s CEO must also be made to be responsible on how its shares are performing on the exchange. He needs a good PR officer to help him sell to investors the company’s prospects. But first he needs to sack the person who, through the bad design & maintenance of its website makes it look like a 3rd class company with no hope. How I wish some big time investors can apply pressure on him to change things for the better! 26/02/2024 12:06 PM alenac While other industries recovering at full speed after the pandemic, the glove industry is in a doldrum. Until the next health crisis, the industry will remain stagnant at the foot of KLSE. The Edge looks at Supermax expansion to the States & does not think it will work out. A disaster in the making. https://theedgemalaysia.com/node/703248 05/03/2024 10:47 AM younglean The political reasons for Supermax’s expansion into the United States ... 05/03/2024 11:17 AM Investor126 Speculating will only burden your wealth. Just apply a 16% discount on current price and that is my TP for the upcoming 3 more quarter. 06/03/2024 9:17 AM myinvestor Reasons to Invest in American Manufacturing ax Incentives 1.Tax incentives are a major contributor to the strength of American manufacturing. The government offers tax rebates and exemptions for companies that manufacture in the states. To take advantage of this incentive though, you either have to be a company that commissions an onshore manufacturer or be an onshore manufacturer acquiring materials. Logistical Incentives 2.Logistical incentives for domestic manufacturing can also make a significant impact on a business’s bottom line. The US has an interconnected transport system of train, road, air, and sea travel options that make it easy to ship products anywhere. This includes shipping products around the world since the US is boarded on two sides by oceans, and the coasts are filled with ports that make sea access easier and cost-effective. For your company, this means lower costs when shipping manufactured products wherever they need to go 3. A Reputation for Innovation and Quality The main reason why companies choose to invest in American manufacturing is because of our reputation for innovation and quality across many industries. The US is known for designing products to high-quality standards, while offshore manufacturing has a reputation for using cheap and low-quality materials. 4. Access to a Skilled Workforce The quality in US manufacturing comes from investments in technology, development, and a quality workforce. The US has a universal education system that puts it ahead of many other manufacturing centers around the world. A higher educated and tech-savvy workforce makes it easier for manufacturing companies to recruit better talent. More talented workers mean improved manufacturing processes and outcomes. 5. Compliance With Environmental Regulations Finally, the US is largely committed to environmental protection when it comes to manufacturing. Government regulations for pollution and environmental impact are stricter here in the US than in most places overseas. The drive for greater sustainability is not only important to the longevity of your business but is also increasingly important to customers https://msipipeprotection.com/reasons-to-invest-in-american-manufacturing/ 06/03/2024 11:02 AM alenac Whatever the reason to build a glove plant in America, the end product must be cheaper than in China & Malaysia. A glove plant is not a high-tech value-added industry where the margin is super high. The reason most industries seeking low cost goes to emerging economies & China. 06/03/2024 8:38 PM myinvestor https://splash247.com/first-casualties-feared-in-red-sea-shipping-crisis-as-crew-abandon-missile-struck-bulker/ First casualties feared in Red Sea shipping crisis as crew abandon missile-struck bulker.

With US inflation under control and imports alternatives which will/can be well absorb and not pass down to consumers, high change on the import tariffs (especially covid19 category) to be reinstated.
