NEW YORK, July 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sharps Technology, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: “STSS” and “STSSW”), an innovative medical device company offering patented, best-in-class, single use smart safety syringe products, is pleased to announce the Company completed its acquisition of Safegard Medical’s syringe manufacturing facility in Hungary.

“The acquisition of our first manufacturing facility is an important milestone in our transformation from an R&D-focused enterprise to revenue-generating commercial operations,” stated Robert Hayes, CEO of Sharps Technology. “With the acquisition now complete, with the addition of further assembly and manufacturing capacity, our team is confident we can deliver world class products to meet the strong and growing demand for smart safety syringes, a market forecasted to reach $14 billion globally by 2026.”

Production of Sharps Technology’s patented syringes, which comply with US regulatory and WHO guidelines, is anticipated to commence the end of this quarter at the newly acquired ISO-certified, CE-Mark approved, FDA-cleared facility.
