Other sectors such as manufacturing are now adapting to life with the virus, as the economy and citizens go into Unlock mode gradually. With our SELF HEAL™ fabrics, manufactured in collaboration with the Australian-based HealthGuard® , we endeavour to instil confidence in our customers as they go about their duty of restoring normalcy in a post-pandemic world. Through the innovation of SELF HEAL™ by Qmax World®, we are also pledging our support towards our Hon’ble Prime Minister’s nation-wide appeal to boost the local industry rather than rely on imports. Our initial conversations with our clients have already garnered massive interest from corporates, schools and hospitals. It goes to show that the country is ready to return back to work responsibly,” concluded Tibrewal.
