Thailand-based VT Garment has launched its personal protective equipment (PPE) brand Silguard. VT's product development team took only 3 months to receive CE PPE Category 3 certifications for its coveralls and isolation gowns. Thai Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha has recognised VT's accomplishment as a product that is wholly sourced in the kingdom.
"We are extremely proud to play a part in ensuring and safeguarding Thailand’s healthcare security," VT Garment said on its website.
Aspiring to become world class designer and manufacturer of sportswear and outerwear, the company has facilities in Thailand and Myanmar, employing around 3,000 team members.
Established in 1981, VT Group endeavours to combine the 4 M’s of production—man, material, method and machine—effectively and efficiently. "We continuously seek to empower our people through training, thereby raising their knowhow, leadership and problem-solving skills. Our team seeks to automate as many processes as possible to transform apparel to a high-tech industry. We have recently installed solar panels which contribute around 10 per cent of our energy usage," the Group says on its website.
