Thieves in Malaysia have stolen 725,000 ultrathin condoms bound for the Japanese market.
A locked container transporting 85,000 boxes of Sagami Rubber Industries Co.’s top-selling polyurethane products was empty when it arrived at the Japanese company’s distribution facility last week, according to the firm.
The shipment was worth Y120 million (£912,000).
“We have heard nothing new from the police in Malaysia looking into the case,” Norinari Wakui, a spokesman for the company, told The Daily Telegraph.
A spokesman for the Malaysian authorities told AFP, “We take the matter of the missing condoms very seriously. We are investigating the matter.”
Sagami Rubber was founded in 1934 as the first manufacturer of condoms in Japan and has a long history of innovation in the industry. It was the first maker in the world to release coloured condoms, which if followed up with dotted versions.
