Foreign-invested enterprises taking nothing for granted 23:15 | 26/05/2021 Foreign-invested enterprises are ramping up COVID-19 prevention measures, no matter where they are. Photo: Duc Thanh Global personal protective equipment producer 3M is expected to announce in June the launch of its new disposable KF94 respirator â the 3M Particulate Respirator 9013 â designed to seal to the face allowing air to go through the filter, not around the outside edge of the respirator. The product marks 3Mâs move to diversify its portfolio in Vietnam in order to meet market demands amid the serious development of COVID-19. In late 2020 as part of 3Mâs strategy to drive superior operational excellence and efficiencies amid the development of the global health crisis, the company announced closing the 3M Vietnam manufacturing facility located in Long Thanh Industrial Zone (IZ) in the southern province of Dong Nai after four years of operation, moving manufacturing to other locations.
