Razer has announced that its Singapore mask production is now online, a fully automated process successfully set up within 24 days of initiating the project, within the initial 30-day target set by Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan. Razer has been actively contributing towards the fight against COVID-19, including donating up to 1M face masks globally. These masks to date have been shipped to Canada, Germany, Hong Kong, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and the United States. Razer’s subsidiary, Razer Fintech, has also recently launched a US$50M COVID-19 relief fund for partners.
Razer committed to setting up this fully automated face mask production line in Singapore online due to the lack of high quality, and reliably manufactured masks in the market, as well as to fill the supply within Southeast Asia. The goal was set for 30 days from 1 April, as demand for masks increased as global government health bodies asked for citizens to mask up at all times.
With the manufacturing line now operational and begun production, this fully automated process is expected to have a manufacturing capacity of approximately 5 million masks per month and can be scaled up if necessary. The made-in-Singapore Razer masks are manufactured in an ISO 13485 certified controlled room environment, produced and certified according to local and international standards.
Availability on these masks will be announced via Razer social media and press channels.
Sponsors such as Frasers Property, JustCo and PBA Group have each committed US$50,000 upfront for the initial shipments of masks from the line in support of Razer’s efforts. Many other potential sponsors have since reached out and interested parties in supporting the Made in Singapore masks are encouraged to reach out to Razer.
