    Aspire has reduced its production workforce to make necessary changes to its manufacturing line. Over the past year, the Company has more than doubled yields and expects to build on that success. At this time and in the interests of further increasing yields, the Company is investing in improvements to its automated systems to ensure reliability in increasing production to plant capacity. The Company expects to scale up its workforce around July of 2025. The Company has reduced its employee base from about 150 to 50, mostly in production, while the changes to the automated systems are made. The company plans to rehire in July 2025. Aspire is grateful to all staff, past and present, for their dedication to this first-of-kind project.
