Hartalega CEO Kuan Mun Leong.

KUALA LUMPUR: The prospect of Chinese glove makers venturing into the Asean region will not deter Hartalega Holdings Bhd from strengthening its position as the largest producer of nitrile gloves in the world.

Chief executive officer Kuan Mun Leong said some Chinese glove makers are set on expanding into the region and have already bought land in South-East Asia.
