DuPont increased production capacity for protective garments

The DuPont China response team is coordinating directly with the key agencies in China such as CDC, FDA, Shanghai Medicine Group, Ministry of Industrial Information Technology and the U.S. Embassy to ensure we get as much of the needed protective equipment directly to the healthcare workers on the front line, as quickly as possible. The company is collaborating with the Chinese government to expand their capacity in China. DuPont have also increased production capacity for protective garments in their manufacturing facilities outside of China, and they are working with the government to import and distribute them locally. 

DuPont is has donated three types of personal protective garments to the most affected areas through the China Red Cross Foundation, to protect healthcare workers and front-line personnel. DuPont also contributed probiotic products to help regulate and improve immunity. These donated materials have been allocated by the China Red Cross Foundation to the most needed areas.

The epidemy has already caused postponement of several trade fairs: Chinaplas, Asiamold, SIAF, tube and Wire.
