Celkon to manufacture Covid protection gear

As prevention of Covid-19 would involve protective gear and sanitisation, Celkon, a home-grown mobile phone maker, has decided to tap the opportunity and set up a manufacturing facility at its Fab City here.

Announcing its foray into manufacturing of healthcare products, Celkon said it would use its existing facilities to manufacturing the products.

It entered into tie-ups with firms in Taiwan, Korea and Japan for components. The products are being designed to suit the local needs in India. The list would include wall-mounted automatic hand sanitisers, portable automatic sanitiser sprays, ultraviolet sterilisers, disinfection packs, face recognition thermometers and face shields.
