2Firsts, December 11,2025 – According to Business Wire, AIR Limited, the global leader in hookah and advanced inhalation technologies, announced it has acquired NameLess, one of Germany’s leading premium flavored hookah brands.

In November 2025, AIR and Cantor Equity Partners III, Inc. (Nasdaq: CAEP) announced a definitive business combination agreement that will result in the combined company, AIR Global Limited, becoming publicly listed on Nasdaq under the ticker “AIIR” in the first half of 2026, subject to regulatory approval.

The company’s research partnerships with accredited labs drive the development of next-generation inhalation products that blend tradition and technology to reduce harm and enhance enjoyment.
