On 19 September 2024 Philip Morris International (PMI) sold Vectura to Molex Asia Holdings Ltd, to be operated by Molex’s pharmaceutical subsidiary Phillips Medisize.

PMI still owns Vectura Fertin Pharma, the subsidiary it developed to operate Vectura, but has indicated it will rename the company whilst establishing a “master service agreements to develop Vectura Fertin Pharma’s inhaled therapeutics proprietary pipeline.”, according to the press release.
