American Marconi Wireless News - Charlie's Holdings (OTCQB:CHUC) Announces Opening of US Manufacturing Facility and First Shipments to Texas Customers

COSTA MESA, CA / ACCESS Newswire / December 1, 2025 / Charlie's Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB:CHUC) ("Charlie's" or the "Company"), an industry leader in the premium vapor products space, today reported that the Company has opened its first US-manufacturing facility in Huntington Beach, California. This week, 300 retail accounts across the state of Texas will receive their first shipments of Charlie's US-filled Pachamama 25K Disposables.

With state of the art equipment and a highly trained staff, Charlie's has opened a domestic manufacturing facility - exclusively for the production of Charlie's own brands. Unlike companies that are importing illicit Chinese products, or others that are competing for limited line time with third-party contract manufacturers, Charlie's has launched its own US-filling operation to ensure that the Company's products meet stringent domestic manufacturing requirements of Texas and other large states.

Texas is the largest vapor products market in the Unites States. Effective September 1, 2025, Texas implemented a new law that bans the sale and possession of certain vape products, including those manufactured or marketed as coming from China or certain other "adversary countries." Tennessee and other states have similar legislation pending.

To sell and distribute products that are fully compliant in these markets, this week Charlie's became one of the first companies to launch a US-filled vapor product line. The Company's popular Pachamama 25K line now meets the domestic manufacturing requirements of the state of Texas and enables Charlie's premium products to appeal, broadly, to adult consumers who prefer "Made in America" products.

Henry Sicignano III, Charlie's President, explained, "We originally expected our US-filling facility to mitigate Far East shipping delays and to lessen tariff costs, but Texas' new domestic manufacturing requirements have also created a massive sales opportunity for Charlie's." Mr. Sicignano continued, "Demand is so great, we now plan to devote 100% of our current US manufacturing capacity to the state of Texas; if all goes well, and if we expand our US manufacturing initiative in the coming months, we believe Texas could double Charlie's sales forecasts for 2026."

"To my knowledge, Pachamama is the ONLY vapor products brand that has been on the market for more than a decade and is now fully compliant with Texas domestic manufacturing requirements," commented Ryan Stump, Charlie's co-founder and Chief Operating Officer. "Charlie's award-winning flavors… very well-known brands… and commitment to regulatory compliance are significant competitive advantages that really set us apart. We expect Pachamama 25K to be a BIG hit in the Texas market!"
