Sumitomo Chemical will expand local production of bednets from East to West Africa, through a new production facility in Nigeria which is expected to generate 5,000 jobs. By increasing bednet availability in the region, this initiative could potentially save 400,000 lives from malaria over the next 5 years. Sumitomo Chemical will also explore the possibilities of opening sewing and logistics facilities in the neighbouring countries, such as the Central African Republic, Cameroon, Niger, Benin, Ghana, and Guinea.
