In the first half of this year, TNG Investment and Trading Joint Stock Company still led enterprises exporting garment products. At the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak, the Company's supply of raw materials and accessories was interrupted. The export value decreased because many markets could not control the pandemic. So, TNG has actively switched to producing masks and medical protective clothing while maintaining production and keeping jobs for more than 10,000 workers. Currently, TNG manufactures and supplies over 100,000 medical masks on average to the market per day. Mr. Nguyen Van Thoi, Chairman of the Board of Directors, informed: The unit produces more pandemic prevention and control products to achieve all three goals, including the COVID-19 pandemic prevention and control, stabilizing jobs for employees, and ensuring the revenue.
