Commenting on the orders received, Mr Lim See Hoe, Executive Chairman and CEO of the Group, said, "We are extremely proud to achieve the successful commercialisation of our newly developed Magnaro-Twaron mooring ropes after many years of extensive research and development."
For the new products, which boasts greater heat resistance capabilities, the Group has placed higher emphasis on the sustainability and impact on the environment in the production and usage of the ropes. As such, the Group hopes that the ability for the Magnaro-Twaron mooring ropes to be recycled for other applications to reduce environmental impacts will be able to translate into greater pickup rates of these ropes in time to come.
Through research and development, TEHO's new mooring ropes are made to last longer and withstand exposure to higher temperatures as compared to traditional mooring ropes. It can also be recycled for other applications such as brake pads.
