The recent swine flu outbreak is causing major problems for the already ailing travel and airline industry, but not everyone is feeling the pain. One of Vietnam’s leading sourcing companies, Sourcing In Vietnam, is experiencing a boost in orders for facemasks. A product frequently sourced and manufactured in Vietnam.
James Snee, CEO at Sourcing In Vietnam said, “The last month has seen a huge rise in medical related inquiries. As governments all over the world are bracing for the possible repercussions from swine flu the need for products such as facemasks has become much greater. We are currently working with several factories in Vietnam in order to meet the increase in demand.”
Sourcing requests have come from as distant countries such as Sweden and Norway, as well as Korea and Japan where facemasks are commonly used. “Governments all over the world are stockpiling Face masks ensuring they have enough to combat the spread of the flu should a pandemic break out. They do not want to be caught short should a pandemic break out, hence the sudden influx of inquiries,” added Mr. Snee.
Humanitarian organizations and governments are on the front line of containing infection. According to pandemic experts an effective face mask could dramatically reduce the number of cases of people infected with the deadly virus. There is not yet a vaccine on the market so a face mask is the first line of defense against the spread of the virus.
