Jinan-based Shengquan New Material Company has been included in the list of medical devices and supplies companies that have received certification or authorization from other countries, according to an update from the Ministry of Commerce on June 1.

This achievement is largely due to the company's disposable face masks that meet the EU CE certified medical mask EN14683 standard.

Shengquan New Material Company is a subsidiary of Jinan Shengquan Group which is a leading private company in Jinan, Shandong province.

The group ramped up the production of masks at the early stages of the epidemic to ensure there was a sufficient supply. The company's daily production capacity of protective masks reached more than 5 million in just four months.

Shengquan New Material Company on April 3 received its CE certification which allows its products to be sold in European and US markets. Its products have been exported to Japan, Germany, Southeast Asia, and a number of other countries and regions.
