Gold Apollo, the Taiwanese company connected to the pagers involved in the deadly explosions in Lebanon, has stated that it licenced its design to another firm and had "no involvement in the design or manufacturing" of the devices.
“We authorise BAC to use our brand trademark for product sales in specific regions, but BAC handles the design and manufacturing of the products,” the company said in a statement, naming the firm allegedly responsible for producing the pagers.
Hsu Ching-Kuang, founder and president of Gold Apollo, confirmed that BAC is based in Europe but refused to provide further details.
“We may not be a large company, but we are a responsible one,” Hsu said at the company's New Taipei City office. “This is very embarrassing.”
