Recent battle between two glove manufacturing company Supermax and Topglove for "World largest glove manufacturer" position after Topglove successfully over take US's Kimberly-Clark as world largest manufacturer of rubber glove create eye bow among Malaysian.
With our textile and garment industry is threaten by China manufacturer after US and EU remove it quota on the industry. However, our glove manufacturer has display it competitiveness. We have find our niche and core competencies in glove manufacturing industry. Datuk Seri Stanley Thai, who is ex-textile and garment salesman, has successfully shifted his profession to glove industry.
However, another glove maker Rubberex said their main competitor is Australia’s Ansell and Mapa Group of France, differ from Supermax and Topglove who main competitor is Kimberly-Clark.
It should be note that glove industry is not Kimberly-Clarke's only business. It has a diversified business. Despite aggressive acquisition trail by Supermax. It only focus on glove industry. It is difficult to create a group as big as Kimberly-Clark.
If Malaysian company is serious about creating a company as big as Kimberly-Clark. We should consider a merger between glove manufacturer and NTPM. NTPM is also a company that successfully overtake Kimberly-Clark in Malaysia market only. A similar company of NTPM in Brazil run by Taiwanese also able to overtake Kimberly-Clark market shares in Brazil. Looking at the Taiwanese company experience. NTPM could be easily penetrate into Indonesian market.
One day, we might have a company as big as Kimberly-Clark in Malaysia!
