UK chemicals giant Ineos to make hand sanitiser

British chemicals giant Ineos will produce over a million bottles of hand sanitiser monthly to meet chronic shortages of the product crucially needed to tackle the coronavirus pandemic, it said Tuesday. It follows similar moves by makers of alcoholic drinks, with Guinness-producer Diageo having jumped on board Monday.
"There is a critical shortage of hand sanitisers across Europe," Ineos said in a statement. "Ineos will build a UK factory to produce one million bottles per month within 10 days and will replicate this in Germany," the company said, adding that hospitals would receive free hand sanitiser.
