Sharps Technology’s CEO Issues Shareholder Letter Highlighting Hungary Manufacturing Facility Expansion Plans to Increase SecureGard and SoloGard Product Supply and Revenue
December 05 2024 - 10:00AM
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 letter from Robert Hayes, the Company’s Chief Executive
Officer.
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
Thanks to a very important Sales Agreement with a prominent
U.S.-based supplier of medical saline and water products, Sharps is
bringing the year to a close on a high note. In Q2, we signed an
agreement to supply the customer with customized 10mL SoloGard
syringes manufactured at our Hungary facility. The execution of
this five-year Sales Agreement creates a manufacturing demand for
at least 500 million syringes and completely sells out the
currently available manufacturing capacity for Sharps’ 10mL
SoloGard syringes. The project provides a clear path for revenue
acceleration beginning in the first quarter of 2025, with a phased
ramp up throughout 2025 and beyond. It is transformative for Sharps
and is driving the need for both near- and long-term expansion to
support the combination of customer projects that are currently
slated for manufacture at the Hungary plant.
The Company has also just signed new customer sales agreements
with a prominent European medical supply company serving Poland,
Slovakia, and the Czech Republic, to purchase the 1mL and 3mL
SecureGard inventory located in Hungary. The first delivery and
revenue occurred in early December, and we expect that the customer
will purchase all available inventory over the next several months.
The agreement also set the stage for new production orders
beginning in Q2 of 2025 that will consume all currently available
production capacity.
The demand for Sharps’ innovative injection solutions continues
to grow rapidly, with injectables remaining the preferred delivery
method for therapies such as vaccines, biologics, weight loss and
maintenance, ophthalmic and cosmetic applications, gene therapies,
and diabetes and inflammatory disease management. As a result of
this market growth and the impact of the increased tariffs,
recalls, and quality issues with Chinese supplied syringes, Sharps
has experienced increasing levels of interest and potential demand
for the Company’s high-quality smart safety syringe products. This
demand is setting the stage for needed growth and expansion in the
Hungary facility and is also driving a potential collaboration
between Sharps and Hungarian-based investment opportunities. We are
beginning to work with both government and private investment
sources in Hungary to expand the current manufacturing footprint
and take advantage of the need to increase both SecureGard and
SoloGard manufacturing capacity.
Based on these two very exciting projects, Sharps is
anticipating solid revenue growth for the Hungary facility. The
previously announced expansion in Hungary will increase the annual
SecureGard capacity to more than 100 million units, and the
SoloGard capacity to more than 125 million units. We expect up to
$400k in revenue in December 2024 and have internal revenue targets
of more than $5 million in 2025, $15 million in 2026, and $20
million in 2027. These targets represent revenue generated by the
facility in Hungary, and do not include any potential revenue from
Sharps’ U.S. projects or third-party agreements.
Sharps’ leadership team continues to work on finalizing the
acquisition of the manufacturing assets at the InjectEZ facility in
Columbia, SC. Although the timeframe has been extended due to
business developments with the selling partner, we expect to be
able to give a more substantial update to our shareholders after
the first of the year.
Thanks to the ongoing support of our family of investors, we
regained compliance with NASDAQ’s listing rules. Sharps worked with
a regulatory team to complete the requirements of the remediation
plan, and we received NASDAQ’s notification in a letter dated
November 13, 2024 that Sharps had regained full compliance with the
listing rules.
Specializing in the development and manufacturing of innovative
drug delivery systems, Sharps’ SecureGard and SoloGard product
lines focus on low waste and ultra-low waste syringe technologies
that also incorporate active safety features, as well as World
Health Organization accredited re-use prevention. Once
manufacturing begins in the US, our Nexent line of polymer
prefillable syringes will help to fill the healthcare industry’s
demand for the highest quality drug delivery solutions. Sharps is
well positioned to respond to the upcoming opportunities and we are
looking at a bright future ahead.
Thank you for your continuing support and confidence in our
Company. For more information, please visit
