[Asia Economy Reporter Cho Hyun-ui] Huons announced on the 30th that it will supply domestically produced KF94 masks to the government of Washington State, USA. This is the first time that domestically produced masks have been exported to a U.S. government agency.


Huons decided to supply masks to the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle through its U.S. subsidiary 'HuonsUSA,' established in Seattle, Washington. The first shipment is scheduled for early next month.


A Huons official stated, "Since discussions regarding the main volume for the state government in the second half of the year have progressed significantly, we plan to proceed with additional supplies."


Since starting exports of COVID-19 related quarantine supplies in May, Huons has signed six contracts worth 8 billion KRW to date.



Um Ki-an, CEO of Huons, said, "Inquiries about KF94 masks, quarantine supplies, and COVID-19 kits continue not only from Washington State but also from New York State," adding, "We expect additional exports to take place soon."
