The pagers exploded in Lebanon earlier this week.
Labels on pager fragments that detonated identified Taiwanese producer Gold Apollo. However, the company denied producing the attack’s gadgets.
Twelve people, including two children, were reportedly killed and almost 3,000 injured in Tuesday’s blasts, according to the Lebanese government.
The attack, which included detonating walkie-talkies, was attributed to Israel and signaled a significant intensification of hostilities between the two parties.
“We did not produce the components for Hezbollah’s pagers,” Kuo Jyh-huei, Taiwan’s minister of economics, said to reporters on Friday.
A court probe is already underway, he continued.
Taiwan’s foreign minister, Lin Chia-lung, declared, “I want to unearth the truth, because Taiwan has never exported this particular pager model.”
Hsu Ching-Kuang, the head of Gold Apollo, denied earlier this week that his company was involved in the attacks.
He claimed to have granted BAC Consulting, a firm in Hungary, a trademark license so they could use the Gold Apollo name on their own pages.
Thus far, the BBC has not been able to get in touch with BAC. Its CEO, Cristiana Bársony-Arcidiacono, denied her business created the pagers and told the US news agency NBC that she didn’t know anything about them.
BAC reportedly had “no manufacturing or operational site” in Hungary, according to the Hungarian authorities.
