1.0 BACKGROUND OF THE COMPANY
SUPERMAX CORPORATION BERHAD

SUPERMAX Corporation Berhad is a world class latex glove conglomerate listed on the Main
Board of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad, is a leading international manufacturer, distributor
and marketer of medical gloves.

This comprehensive SWOT profile of Supermax Corporation Berhad provides you an in-depth
strategic analysis of the company’s businesses and operations. As at Sept 2011, 68% of its
gloves were sold under its own brands while 32% were sold as OEM gloves. We believe this
is the group’s biggest strength as it extracts the maximum value out of the glove supply chain
via downstream integration. On the flip side, we noted that Supermax has the highest share
price volatility due to its high beta as compared to its peers. This is very much related to the
market’s lack of confidence on Supermax’s investment approach following a bad investment
in APL Industries (APLI) back in Feb 2005, which was then fully written off in 2008. This is
the company’s biggest weakness, especially during the down cycle where discount might be
widening further. On the positive front, Supermax is currently still on expansion mode with the
aim to add 3.9 bn pieces of glove by 2013, translating to 22% additional capacity from current
capacity of 17.8 bn pieces. The group also draws a 10-year long term plan to build a glove city
with a total annual production capacity of 18 bn pieces on a 36.8-acre plot of land in Bukit
Kapar, Klang. The Trump administration, the uncertainties of global commodity prices, and
more recently, the threat of nuclear war posed by North Korea. As is also experienced by all
industries, the rubber glove industry also faces its fair share of challenges including natural gas
tariff hikes, higher minimum wage policy, tighter employment regulations on foreign workers
and shortage in labour among other matters.

TOP GLOVE HOLDINGS BERHAD

Top Glove Corporation Berhad is the world’s largest manufacturer of gloves. Top glove has
demonstrated steady growth with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.8% for
revenue and 19.2% for profit after tax since year 2001. Top Glove has received 26% of the
market share and serves a network of over 2,000 customers in more than 195 countries.

One of the strengths of Top Glove is global market leader. Top Glove is the world’s largest
manufacturer of gloves. Top Glove has its manufacturing operations spanning across Malaysia,

1
Thailand and China. Other than that, Top Glove has marketing offices in other countries such
as USA, Germany and Brazil. One of the weaknesses of Top Glove is the safety of the
employees in the factory is not guaranteed. There are many machineries in their operations.
This has increased the risk of the employees’ safety. This can be the weakness for the company
because the image of company can be affected if there is any accident occurs while the
operation is going on in the factory. The opportunity of Top Glove is obtaining subsidization
on natural gas by government. This can reduce the cost of production for Top Glove as we
know that Top Glove is the world largest glove manufacturer. Cost competitive is vital if they
wish to compete with their competitors around the world. As the global demand is increasing
8% to 10% annually, Top Glove needs to reduce their cost by getting subsidization from the
government to increase their productivity. The threat that may affect the performance of Top
Glove is increase in latex price.

HARTALEGA HOLDINGS BERHAD

Hartalega Holdings Berhad (HARTA) established since 1988, is the world’s largest
manufacturer of nitrile gloves with an annual production capacity of 30 billion pieces of gloves.
Their on-going major expansion will further boost our annual capacity to 42 billion pieces by
year 2020.

Hartalega Holdings Berhad is a holding company whose subsidiaries manufacture and sell a
variety of nitrile and latex gloves. The company's gloves are used in laboratories and healthcare
facilities. The gloves are also sold to manufacturers of semiconductors and consumer
electronics and for automotive maintenance and spray painting. The company organizes itself
into six segments based on geography: North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, Malaysia, and
South America. More revenue comes from the North America segment than any other.

The Strengths are owning several patents for in-house propriety machines and highly
automated production processes. Weakness is overly reliant on nitrile gloves production.
Opportunies are increasing exports to developed markets such as the US and EU and they create
own brand distribution channels in China and India. Last, Threats is the rice competition in the
rubber gloves industry.

KOSSAN RUBBER INDUSTRIES BHD

Established in 1979, KOSSAN is one of the largest manufacturers of latex disposable gloves
in the world with an annual production capacity of 25 billion pieces and the largest technical

2
rubber products manufacturer in Malaysia with a total compounding capacity exceeding 10,000
mt. More than 80% of its products are exported to over 180 countries with 350 active customers
mostly located in developed nations such as United States, U.K., Scandinavian Countries,
Europe, China, Korea & Japan.

KOSSAN have a strength that they have a diverse product portfolio. The products and brand
portfolio of KOSSAN is enabling it to target various segments in the domestic market at the
same time. The weakness of KOSSAN is the company lack of work force diversity. KOSSAN
is not diverse enough given that most of its growth so far is in its domestic market. Besides
that, KOSSAN also have an opportunity that the company have a lucrative opportunities in
international markets. KOSSAN is in prime position to tap on those opportunities and grow the
market share. However, the culture of sticky prices in the industry is a threat to KOSSAN.
KOSSAN operates in an industry where there is a culture of sticky prices. According to Siriwan
Chutikamoltham, Chee Ming Lim of Kossan Rubber Industries Berhad: Stretching to its
Maximum Potential through an Expansion Strategy case study, this can lead to inability on part
of the organization to increase prices that its premium prices deserve.

LKL International Berhad

LKL International Berhad, an investment holding company through its subsidiary, LKL
Advance Metaltech Sdn Bhd, is principally involved in the provision of medical/healthcare
beds, medical equipment, composite dressing, medical peripherals and accessories. Our diverse
range of products are used in/by a wide portfolio of customers such as hospitals and medical
centres, as well as other healthcare-related facilities such as clinics and specialist institutions.

As of today, LKL brand & products have been widely used locally with the majority market
share as well as in overseas, reaching a milestone of 50 countries across 6 continents. The
Strengths is Possess technical expertise to conform to international compliance standards in
global healthcare industry and diversified range of products catering to wide range of demands.
The weaknesses is reliance on foreign workers in manufacturing operations and dependency
on purchase orders without long-term contracts. The Opportunities is to capitalize on growth
in local and international healthcare industry. Next, Government initiatives to promote
healthcare services industry. The Threats is Operating in a highly regulated industry and
volatility in raw material prices.
