Hartalega’s sales volume to pick up in second half

Kuan: Demand from the US market had shifted from China to Malaysia before the tariffs were imposed.

PETALING JAYA: Glovemaker Hartalega Holdings Bhd is cautiously optimistic about being a beneficiary of the ongoing US-China trade war, even as China glove manufacturers divert from the US market.

According to managing director Kuan Mun Leong, it is difficult to ascertain the impact of the trade war on Hartalega’s business at present as market overreaction to the tariffs have yet to be factored in.
