Iris Oyama Mask For domestic production Ordering equipment from China May 20, 15:00
Iris Oyama, a major manufacturer of daily necessities, has ordered equipment from China for domestic production of masks, and will start production at a factory in Kakuda City, Miyagi Prefecture from the beginning of next month.
Iris Oyama will start manufacturing masks from its own factory in China until next month in order to provide a more stable supply of masks.
On the 20th, the factory was working to bring in the equipment ordered from China, and was carried into a new clean room for mask production.
Iris Oyama decided to purchase the equipment this February. Initially, it was said that it would take half a year for a Chinese manufacturer to deliver the equipment due to rising global demand, but it was possible to shorten the delivery time by making advance payments.
The company will start production from the beginning of next month, and will produce 150 million pieces a month in July and ship them to drug stores.
Arishiro Oyama, President of Iris Ohyama, said from the beginning that the number of companies that started mask production will increase in Japan and overseas due to rising demand. We would like to increase our market share by creating high-quality products. It was.
