Beyond Financials: In Pursuit of a Sustainable Future Corporate Developments

Top Glove powered through an intensely challenging environment, staying on course to execute and deliver on its growth
agenda.

Continuous Capacity Expansion In Line with Global Demand

Doing our part to ensure uninterrupted glove supply during a crucial time, the Group continued to embark on steady
capacity expansion in FY2021. While glove demand started to normalise towards the latter part of the financial year
following rapid vaccine rollout on a global scale, growth is still expected to stabilise at elevated levels after the pandemic
recedes, compared with a pre pandemic growth of 10% per annum.

Accordingly, investment plans are underway for future growth. Top Glove will continue to embark on organic capacity
expansion, adjusting where necessary in alignment with the global glove demand and supply situation, constructing new
and technologically advanced factories featuring more automation and computerisation, while upgrading existing facilities
as well. By 31 December 2025, Top Glove is projected to have a total of 59 factories comprising 46 glove factories and 13
other factories, 1,486 glove production lines and a glove production capacity of 201 billion gloves per annum.

The Group’s organic expansion plans for 2021 to 2025 are detailed below:

Lebih Dari Kewangan: Mengejar Masa Depan Yang Lestari Pembangunan Korporat

Top Glove telah melalui persekitaran yang sangat mencabar untuk melaksanakan dan menyampaikan agenda
pertumbuhannya.

Pengembangan Kapasiti Berterusan Sejajar Dengan Permintaan Global

Dalam melaksanakan peranan kami untuk memastikan bekalan sarung tangan yang tidak terganggu pada masa yang
penting, Kumpulan terus memulakan pengembangan kapasiti yang stabil pada TK2021. Walaupun permintaan sarung
tangan mula normal pada akhir tahun kewangan berikutan pelaksanaan vaksin yang pesat pada skala global, pertumbuhan
masih dijangka stabil pada paras yang tinggi selepas pandemik surut, berbanding dengan pertumbuhan sebelum pandemik
sebanyak 10% setahun.

Oleh itu, rancangan pelaburan sedang dijalankan untuk pertumbuhan masa depan. Top Glove akan terus memulakan
pengembangan kapasiti organik yang akan diselaraskan agar sejajar dengan permintaan sarung tangan global dan
situasi bekalan, membina kilang-kilang baharu dan berteknologi maju yang menampilkan lebih banyak automasi dan
pengkomputeran, sambil meningkatkan taraf kemudahan sedia ada juga. Menjelang 31 Disember 2025, Top Glove dijangka
mempunyai sejumlah 59 kilang yang terdiri daripada 46 kilang sarung tangan dan 13 kilang lain-lain, 1,486 barisan
pengeluaran sarung tangan dan kapasiti pengeluaran sarung tangan sebanyak 201 bilion sarung tangan setahun. Pelan
