ApiJect Systems

ApiJect Systems Corporation is an American company founded in 2018 by Marc Koska and based in Stamford, Connecticut that has claimed to have the capacity to manufacture pre-filled COVID-19 vaccine syringes by the end of 2020. The company received a $138 million contract from the U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and was awarded millions of dollars in loans from the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation for manufacturing of such devices. The CEO of the company stated in July 2020: "The fact of this matter is, it would be crazy for people to just rely on us...We should be America’s backup at this point, but probably not its primary.” As of April 21, 2021 the company has failed to produce any syringes. A factory is planned to be built and operational by 2022.
