AIR Limited to Open 70,000 sq ft Manufacturing Facility in Romania

AIR Limited announced plans to open a new approximately 70,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Romania, located in Stefanesti, Bucharest North. The facility is expected to commence operations by Q1 2027. Once fully operational, AIR expects to support more than 150 high-quality jobs at the facility, which is expected to be capable of producing more than 4,000 tons of flavored shisha molasses each year. This new facility would extend AIR's operational capacity and flexibility in an increasingly uncertain global geopolitical environment. "This new facility represents our continued momentum and a strategic advancement as we fortify our position as the global market leader in social inhalation products," said Stuart Brazier, CEO of AIR. "As we expand our global footprint and move towards a public market listing, this facility will enhance our production capabilities and provide added operational resilience in the context of a more uncertain global geopolitical context. It's exactly the type of strategic direction that supports long-term operational strength and supply chain flexibility for our growing line of products." On November 7, 2025, AIR and CAEP announced that they entered into a definitive business combination agreement (the "Business Combination") that, upon closing, is intended to result in the combined company AIR Global PLC becoming publicly listed on the Nasdaq in the United States under the ticker symbol "AIIR."
