MGM signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Macaufacture Medical Supplies Limited (MMSL) on the purchase of 300,000 locally produced surgical facemasks yesterday.
The signing ceremony for the MOU, a demonstration of MGM’s pledge to support local SMEs and emerging industries as well as give credence to Macau brands and “Made in Macau” products, took place at the 25th Macau International Trade and Investment Fair (MIF).
Linked up by Macau Trade and Investment Promotion Institute (IPIM), MGM started to explore business opportunities with MMSL.
Given the masks supplied by MMSL are produced locally and received accreditation from testing organisations in Macau, the mainland, Europe and the US, MGM decided to purchase 300,000 surgical facemasks from them as the starting point of the collaboration.
MMSL set up a factory to produce the “853 Face Mask” during the COVID-19 outbreak earlier this year to help revitalise the city’s industrial sector.
“We have adopted a quality-centric approach to our brand in Macau,” MMSL Chan Chi Meng said, “Despite the city’s small population, we are pleased to receive a purchase order of 300,000 masks from MGM, which is truly encouraging for us. Our collaboration with a large enterprise in Macau will certainly increase our publicity as well as the market share of ‘Made in Macau’ products.”
In support of local SMEs and emerging industries, MGM leverages its platform to promote Macau brands and create business opportunities for the businesses.
Earlier, MGM invited another local facemask manufacturer to present their “Made in Macau” masks at a roadshow held in back-of-house areas of its properties. The roadshow helped promote the local brand and allowed staff members to buy quality products at a special price. – mgmpr
