Korea Technology Ships First 1 Million Hand Sanitizers to the U.S.

[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Hyowon] Korea Technology announced on the 21st that it has received an official order for an initial shipment of 1 million hand sanitizers to respond to the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in the United States and is starting its first export.

The order is an urgent export of 1 million 30ml (milliliter) hand sanitizers, which was rapidly finalized due to the urgent COVID-19 situation in the United States.

The hand sanitizers to be exported this time will first be supplied to the California area, where many Korean residents live.

Korea Technology had already announced a plan to supply 30 million 30ml hand sanitizers to the United States on the 6th. This export is the first case of that supply plan.

As of today, the situation in the United States is serious, with confirmed cases reaching 800,000. The company plans to continuously increase the volume and supply hand sanitizers throughout the United States.

A company official said, “We have received an official order for an initial shipment of 1 million hand sanitizers from a U.S. company and are starting our first export to the U.S. We will continue to export various quarantine products, including hand sanitizers of various sizes.”

He added, “As Korea is being recognized as a model country for COVID-19 quarantine, a new term ‘quarantine Hallyu’ has even emerged. Currently, many countries are requesting exports, so news about related product exports is expected to continue for the time being.”
