KUALA LUMPUR – Bintai Healthcare Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Bintai Kinden Corporation Bhd, has been appointed as the exclusive distributor for Greenie Medi Cold Chain Box products, designed for the storage and distribution of the Covid-19 vaccine in Southeast Asia.
Bintai Healthcare today signed the distribution agreement with SLAB Asia Co Ltd to distribute the full range of Greenie Medi Cold Chain Box products in Malaysia, Brunei, Myanmar, Cambodia, Timor-Leste, Indonesia, Laos, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.
“SLAB Asia is one of the leading cold chain equipment manufacturers in South Korea and operates Korea’s only ISTA 7D/7E certified private test lab which offers international quality assurance,” Bintai Kinden said in a statement today.
ISTA 7D/7E is a test standard set by the Centre for Drug Evaluation and Research under the United States Food and Drug Administration in certifying compatibility and adequacy for transporting medical-grade products.
Bintai Kinden managing director Ong Choon Lui said the Greenie Medi Cold Chain Box is the ideal solution for getting temperature-sensitive drugs, biologics, and vaccines safely to end users across Malaysia and beyond.
“This is to support the government’s initiatives in vaccine distribution, complement existing cold chain infrastructure, and provide comprehensive solutions to meet critical needs in times like these, while supporting needs for Covid-19 vaccine distribution,” he said.
The box is designed exclusively for transporting and storing medical products at the very low temperature of -70℃ for up to 120 hours.
The agreement is not expected to have any material effect on the issued and paid up share capital of Bintai Kinden but will contribute positively towards the future earnings of the group. – Bernama, January 8, 2021
