China declares first ever drought emergency amid intense heatwave
Yesterday. Power cut and many factories shutdown.

The Rosharon site will be Supermax’s 18th manufacturing facility worldwide, but the first to be built in the United States.
The State of the Art company, which specializes in manufacturing medical gloves, is planning on a four-phase build out with phase one already underway at CR 52 and CR 48, just off Hwy. 288.

Alvin Mayor Paul Horn said that the city will form an Industrial District to protect the entire facility from being annexed.
He added, “This will definitely impact our area. We have new housing developments being created on Hwy. 288 and CR 1462 in the near future and those new homes will really benefit them.”

Each phase of the development should produce an estimated 400 million gloves per month, according to Maxter Healthcare President Stanley Thai.

An estimated 1.6 billion gloves will be produced each month, meaning 19.2 million gloves can be produced annually.
“This domestic manufacturing capacity will aid the U. S. in its ability to respond to the current pandemic and help safeguard the U.S. in the future,” said Thai.

“In addition, through the establishment of our research and development center and collaborations with the local and regional education institutions, we will be developing innovative new products and technologies,” he added.

State of the art equipment is going to be a part of the manufacturing with “world-class” capabilities, such as automation, robotic manufacturing and Industry Revolution 4.0, according to the company.

Maxter CEO CK Tax said the facility will strengthen the U.S. Personal Protective Supply Chain by building domestic capacities. “We will be capable of catering to at least 10-15 percent of the total annual medical glove imports into the country over the next two to four years.

"Over the next four to six years, as our capacity increases, we will be able to provide 20-25 percent of the domestic demand and consumption.”

Elected officials, as well as education leaders, are excited to see this area chosen, and anticipate jobs, training and education with the company to benefit all of Brazoria County.

Alvin Community College President Dr. Robert Exley said the College is eager to partner with Maxter Healthcare.

“I am excited about the opportunities for Alvin Community College to work closely with the leadership of Maxter Healthcare, Inc. to assure that they have a skilled workforce. I remember attending a Brazoria County Commission meeting last year where their project was presented and we heard from their executive leaders and owners,” said Exley.

“ACC stands ready to continue to meet our mission of access and excellence for our community members through workforce development and education. This is a very concrete example of teamwork in action,” he added.

Brazoria County Matt Sebesta said, “We welcome Maxter Healthcare and the significant investment they are making in the county and the great job opportunities they will provide for our citizens.

Alvin ISD Superintendent Carol Nelson agreed, adding, “The long-term benefits of a project like this in our community are clear and significant. The direct and indirect jobs and educational partnerships abound. The implications of a project like this goes far beyond our local boundaries and will add to our local economy.”

US monkey pox cases shot up to 10392 in two months. Multiply 10k in 2 months. What will new cases in US in x2 months.? Just guess 5m-10m of new cases.

Taiwan's Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirms 35 human infections of the novel Langya Henipavirus in China's Shandong and Henan provinces. The CDC told Taipei Times that they would begin to establish nucleic acid testing, track close contacts of patients, and conduct genome sequencing.

Health officials in China are now monitoring the transmission of this novel zoonotic virus that has infected dozens of people, despite having no known close contact.
Langya Henipavirus in China
A study titled "A Zoonotic Henipavirus in Febrile Patients in China," published in the New England Journal of Medicine, reports a new henipavirus linked to the fever-causing illness reported in China.

The researchers of the study investigated 35 patients that have acute Langya henipavirus in Shandong and Henan provinces, of which 26 were infected with Lanya virus only and no other pathogens.

All 26 patients experienced fever, 54% reported fatigue, 50% had a cough, 50% experienced a loss of appetite, 46% also had muscle pain, 38% complained of nausea, and 35% had headaches and vomiting.

KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 8): The Malaysian Rubber Glove Manufacturers Association (Margma) estimated that the Malaysian glove industry suffered losses of about RM1.8 billion from 2020 to 2022 as a result of the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) sanctions on six glove companies.

Margma president Dr Supramaniam Shanmugam also said the CBP’s import ban for the four glove industry players, namely YTY Group, Smart Glove, Brightway Group and Supermax Corp Bhd, will be lifted “very soon”.

US Cbp lifting wro maybe coming end of this month or early of next month (All ILO standard in June me). Some gloves export resume in Europe already.

With the Omicron variant accounting for 99.9% of all COVID-19 cases in the United States, it’s proving even deadlier than the Delta variant.

In short, Supermax has already diversified to overseas as the management was not interested in putting all the eggs in one basket. In fact, the new mega plant in America will be Supermax’s 18th manufacturing facility worldwide. Here’s the best part – the U.S. does not have any silly racist and discrimination policy, such as Malaysia’s 30% Bumiputera equity ownership.

Armed with automation, robotic engineering, manufacturing with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Industry Revolution 4.0., Maxter will eventually be able to provide 20% to 25% of the demand and consumption in the U.S., making Malaysia even more irrelevant. And Supermax can certainly slowly shut down its local plants and relocate to Vietnam, Cambodia or even Indonesia.

CBP may receive allegations of forced labour from a variety of sources, including news reports and tips from either the public or trade community.6 CBP may also self-initiate an investigation into the use of forced labour in any given supply chain. Pursuant to 19 C.F.R. § 12.42(e), a WRO will be issued by CBP when it is reasonable to believe that the merchandise falls within the provision of 19 U.S.C. § 1307. In the event that a WRO is issued, importers will have 3 months to obtain release from WRO by providing a certificate of origin and a detailed statement demonstrating that the subject products were not produced using forced labour, e.g. a supply chain audit report.7 After getting sufficient information to determine if the merchandise is prohibited under the provision, the Commissioner will publish a formal finding to that effect in the Customs Bulletin and in the Federal Register.8

DESPITE Malaysia’s Big-Four glove makers having to grapple with normalisation of average selling prices (ASPs), rubber products remained dominant in 3Q 2021, allowing the industry to continue to thrive and contribute to the country’s economy.

Until October 2021, the overall exports of rubber and rubber products increased by 70.7% to RM63.2 bil from RM37 bil within the same period in 2020, according to the Malaysian Rubber Council (MRC).

“Large deployment of vaccination ramps up demand for medical gloves,” revealed MRC. “Latex goods sector continues to show strong performance amounting to RM51.4 bil, an increase 86.3% over the same period last year at RM27.6 bil.”

The sector maintained its pace as the leader of the rubber products exports from January to October 2021 at 92.7%. Rubber gloves remain the highest earner with export revenue of almost RM50 bil, an increase of almost 91% from the previous year

Maxter Healthcare’s decision to choose Texas started with a site list that included New York, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Texas. The list was narrowed to Florida and Texas with the decision to locate in Brazoria County, Texas finalized this year.

Local support for the development has been strong and encouraging.

“We welcome Maxter Healthcare and the significant investment they are making in the county and the great job opportunities they will provide for our citizens.” Brazoria County Judge Matt Sebesta

Superintendent Carol Nelson, said, “The long-term benefits of a project like this in our community are clear and significant. The direct and indirect jobs and educational partnerships abound. The implications of a project like this goes far beyond our local boundaries and will add to our local economy.”

“Our community is uniquely suited for this project, said
Phyllis Saathoff, Executive Director/CEO of Port Freeport. “It is significant because the project will bring important PPE capacity home and create jobs for our citizens. Maxter will benefit not only from our Port’s strategic location and capacities, but a symbiotic relationship with other local industries for feedstock. This project makes sense especially in light of the ongoing supply chain interruptions experienced around the world.”

Supermax Corp Bhd's US-based subsidiary Maxter Healthcare Inc is planning a major manufacturing facility in Texas to increase glove production.

In a statement, the rubber glove maker said the facility will be built in four phases, with the first one to start in the first quarter of 2022 and production to be possible from this phase by the fourth quarter of the same year.

"Each phase is expected to produce 400 million gloves per month. When all four phases are completed, the total installed capacity will be a whopping 1.6 billion gloves per month or 19.2 billion gloves per annum," Supermax said, adding that its board of directors had approved a total capital spending of US$550 million (about RM2.32 billion) for the capacity expansion.

The investment identified for the first phase will total US$350 million and comprise the group's North America manufacturing headquarters, a research and development centre, a training centre and an employee facility centre, said Supermax.
