LOS ANGELES, June 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ispire Technology Inc. ("Ispire" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: ISPR), a trailblazer in vaping technology and precision dosing, announced that its Malaysian subsidiary, Ispire Malaysia Sdn Bhd ("Ispire Malaysia"), reaffirmed its strict compliance with all applicable Malaysian laws and regulations. This clarification follows recent media reports and public interest concerning the Company's manufacturing activities in Malaysia.
Ispire Malaysia confirms that all manufacturing activities at its facility in Johor are exclusively for export purposes and do not involve the production or distribution of any nicotine- or cannabis-containing liquids or gels within Malaysia and for export.
"Ispire Malaysia operates under stringent procedures to ensure all manufacturing is 100% export-oriented," said Michael Wang, Co-CEO of Ispire Technology Inc. "We believe our operations fully comply with Malaysian law, and we are committed to transparency and regulatory cooperation at both federal and state levels."
Key Clarifications:
No Local Distribution: All products manufactured in Malaysia are not sold, distributed, or marketed in the Malaysian market.
No Nicotine or Cannabis Content: The facility produces semi-finished vaporizer hardware only, with no liquids or gels involved at any point in production.
No Medical Devices Manufactured: While the facility is capable of producing certified components, no medical devices are currently manufactured. Any future activity in this sector would follow a comprehensive regulatory review.
Advanced Safety Features: Ispire products will integrate blockchain-based age-gating and geo-fencing technology, ensuring use is restricted to adults and compliant areas. The company's patented technology has been submitted for review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The Company also noted that recent commentary referencing cannabis-related products was based on marketing materials related to Ispire's U.S. operations, which operate in jurisdictions where such products are legal. These materials do not reflect the nature of the Company's business conducted in Malaysia.
With an investment target exceeding USD 50 million, Ispire Malaysia has positioned itself as a premier manufacturing hub in Southeast Asia, supporting job creation and technological innovation aligned with Malaysia's industrial development goals.
"We remain committed to upholding the highest standards of compliance, safety, and corporate responsibility," said Wang.
