Al Ain-based advanced manufacturer signs MoU to supply essential personal protective equipment
Strata Manufacturing (Strata), the wholly-owned by Mubadala Investment Company, has strengthened global distribution of its ‘personal protective equipment (PPE) products after agreeing a landmark MoU with the Japanese administrative jurisdiction of Tokushima Prefecture.
Signed during a virtual ceremony between Ismail Ali Abdulla, CEO, Strata, and Kamon Iizumi, Governor of Japan’s Tokushima Prefecture, the MoU will see Strata establish a stable supply chain of PPE products and supplies between the UAE and Tokushima Prefecture.
The MoU will also explore the opportunity to supply medical equipment and PPE to municipalities and government-related organisations within other Japanese prefectures.
“Since the establishment of our N95 production line, Strata, in-line with the UAE’s international humanitarian efforts, has endeavoured to support the global fight against the pandemic by providing personal protective equipment where it is needed most,” explained Abdulla.
“Our cooperative agreement with Strata Manufacturing will help build a stable supply chain of PPE products and essential medical supplies for our medical system within Tokushima Prefecture,” remarked Governor Iizumi.
Operated by a combined Honeywell and Strata workforce of 70 highly-skilled production experts, the dedicated PPE manufacturing line is now operating at full capacity and is on track to reach an annual production target of more than 30 million masks.
