Sharps Technology Positioned to Address Supply Chain Disruptions Resulting from Recent FDA Recalls, Warnings, and Tariffs on Chinese Manufactured Syringes
May 28 2024 - 1:00PM
Sharps Technology, Inc., (NASDAQ: “STSS” and “STSSW”), an
innovative medical device and pharmaceutical packaging company
offering patented, best-in-class syringe products, issues a
shareholder update from Robert Hayes, the Company’s Chief Executive
Officer.
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
With significant recent developments transforming the syringe
market, I want to make it clear that Sharps Technology is extremely
well-positioned to help U.S. healthcare customers overcome supply
chain disruptions caused by the Biden Administration's recent
announcement to increase tariffs on Chinese-made syringes and
needles from 0% to 50% and the FDA’s quality and import concerns
related to Chinese manufactured syringes.
In response to these developments, Sharps Technology is
experiencing heightened interest in our syringe products, and we
are actively pursuing these opportunities within the healthcare
market.
Our innovative products, such as the SecureGard and SoloGard
syringe lines, are designed to address the specific safety and
performance concerns highlighted by the FDA. Our in-demand syringes
feature low waste and ultra-low waste technologies, active safety
mechanisms, and WHO-accredited re-use prevention measures,
protecting both healthcare workers and patients from the risks
associated with needle stick injuries and syringe re-use.
We manufacture our syringes at a state-of-the-art facility in
Hungary, which is FDA and ISO registered, CE-Mark and WHO
accredited, and has a long-standing reputation for producing
high-quality medical devices for the global market, and plan to
bolster our manufacturing capabilities with the addition of a US
facility in the near term. Our commitment to quality and safety
ensures that our products meet the highest standards, providing
reliable alternatives to the recalled and tariffed Chinese
syringes.
Commitment to Innovation and Growth
In addition to robust manufacturing capabilities, we have
established a collaborative association with Roncadelle Operations
to cooperatively sell and distribute each other’s products. This
partnership will expand our market reach into Europe, the Middle
East, Africa, and the Asia-Pacific region.
Based in Italy, Roncadelle specializes in developing and
manufacturing proprietary passive safety syringes and offers
comprehensive Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization
(CDMO) services from design to finished products. Together, we aim
to advance syringe market opportunities through the continued
development of technologies such as prefilled syringes, needle
guard systems, auto-injectors, and injector pen devices.
We have also established North American sales and distribution
support through a collaboration with Owens & Minor, a leading
provider of 3PL services to the pharmaceutical and medical device
industries. This partnership, along with our expanding
manufacturing capabilities in the US and Europe, positions Sharps
Technology for substantial revenue growth and enhanced market
presence.
Our strategic initiatives and innovative product offerings
underscore our commitment to providing safe, high-quality syringe
solutions for patients and healthcare providers worldwide. We
remain dedicated to addressing supply chain challenges and ensuring
that vital medical supplies are readily available.
Thank you for your continued support and confidence in Sharps
Technology. We look forward to sharing more updates on our progress
and growth in the coming months.
