Welcron "Will Take Legal Action Against Companies Falsely Claiming to Sell MB Mask Filters"

[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Hyewon] Welcron announced on the 14th that it will take strong action, including filing complaints against companies impersonating MB filter manufacturers. This measure comes in response to fraudulent activities where unknown filter fabrics are disguised as domestically produced high-efficiency MB filter fabrics by impersonating well-known domestic MB filter companies, targeting mask manufacturers amid a surge in demand for MB filters, a key material in masks.

According to Welcron on the same day, Mr. Park, the CEO of Company A, which is not registered as an official supplier, introduced himself as the head of a Welcron filter agency and approached companies, attempting to sell MB filters of unknown origin by saying, "We will supply large quantities of Welcron's MB filter fabric, so please deliver finished masks on our behalf."

There was also a case at Company B where Executive Yeom impersonated a Welcron executive and attempted to sell MB filters, but the fraud was uncovered. They conducted transactions secretly via text messages or used burner phones to conceal their identities, showing meticulousness.

Since early February, mask manufacturers struggling with MB filter supply have been in a situation where they cannot operate their factories without securing MB filters immediately, making them vulnerable to being deceived by those claiming to supply large quantities of MB filters, Welcron explained.

A Welcron official stated, “We plan to take legal action, including filing complaints with the relevant police stations against those impersonating Welcron filter agencies or executives, and actively respond to prevent mask manufacturers from suffering further damage.”
