First of all, we hereby express our sincere sympathy to all those who have been infected with the COVID-19 or directly affected by its outbreak.

 

Due to the current serious situations with the spread of the new type of coronavirus, YAMASHIN is aggressively striving to develop the following products and establish systems to supply those products as soon as possible, using our proprietary technologies, resources and know-how, which we believe will in the end help protect human and environmental health during these unpredictable times-- one of the most important missions for us.

 

1.Masks

We are currently developing masks utilizing "YAMASHIN Nano Filter™" technology that will help protect people against a range of viruses. We aim to provide those masks to our employees in Japan and overseas firstly, as one of the key preventative measures against the spread of infectious diseases. After that, we will establish systems to manufacture and provide the masks in increasing numbers to major business partners who have bases in China and other related parties as well.

 

2.Air filters

We are developing air filters to be used for several major household air purifiers, which have the ability to capture airborne contaminants including viruses (after-sale products) and are working to develop systems to produce and distribute them.

 

YAMASHIN will continue to provide products that help protect human and environmental health under our core company philosophy “Contribute to society through our filtration activities”, utilizing our YAMASHIN R&D technologies which have been cultivated over many years.

 

We will promptly issue updates on this issue as necessary when further developments arise.
