DUBAI, UAE – Media OutReach Newswire – 1 July 2026 – Maritimo has appointed KJM Marine as its exclusive dealer across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and selected territories in the Middle East and Indian Ocean, reinforcing the Australian luxury motor yacht builder’s presence in one of the world’s most dynamic boating regions.

Founded by Bill Barry-Cotter and built in Australia, Maritimo is internationally recognised for its long-range motor yachts engineered for offshore performance, efficiency and owner-focused cruising comfort.

Under the agreement, KJM Marine will represent Maritimo in Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), as well as Egypt, Lebanon, the Maldives, Mauritius and the Seychelles.

The appointment reflects growing interest in long-range cruising motor yachts across the region, where experienced owners value genuine offshore capability, reliability and practical onboard comfort.

Regional Experience with Full-Service Support

KJM Marine’s leadership team brings more than 15 years of experience in the large motor yacht segment across the Middle East. The company provides integrated sales and after-sales support, backed by an in-house technical team and a dedicated service facility managing commissioning, warranty requirements and ongoing maintenance.

KJM Marine also operates a mobile sales model, meeting clients across the region in their preferred locations. This relationship-focused approach aligns closely with Maritimo’s owner-first philosophy.

“KJM Marine is led by CEO Mohammad Aljasmi, supported by Sales Director and industry veteran Paurush Faeouk,” said Derrick Nowak, Maritimo’s Global Business Development Manager. “I have known Paurush for over three years and have seen first-hand his commitment to client relationships and professional service. During that time, I have watched KJM Marine develop strong capability and become an influential player in the regional yachting market. We believe they offer the right combination of local knowledge and industry experience to represent the Maritimo brand.”

Expanding Long-Range Representation

The Greater Middle East is an increasingly important market for long-range cruising motor yachts. Growth in marina infrastructure and a rising number of experienced owners are supporting this demand.

KJM Marine will represent Maritimo’s full range of luxury motor yachts, including the M-Series Flybridge Motor Yachts, S-Series Sedan Motor Yachts and Offshore Series models. Each model is designed for offshore performance, structural strength and genuine long-distance cruising comfort.

Built entirely in Australia and tested in demanding offshore conditions, Maritimo yachts are engineered for owners who value capability as much as comfort. Features such as enclosed and air-conditioned flybridge areas enable comfortable year-round cruising in the Middle East climate, while proven ocean-going hulls deliver confidence for longer passages across destinations such as the Maldives, Mauritius and Seychelles. Spacious indoor and outdoor entertaining zones, large adventure decks and swim platforms, together with panoramic opening saloon and flybridge windows, allow owners to move easily between climate-controlled comfort and open-air cruising.

Mohammad Aljasmi, CEO of KJM Marine, said:

“Maritimo is a beloved brand among certain yacht lovers in our part of the world, particularly those with a deep knowledge of yachting. We see strong opportunity not only with existing clients, but also with the many new residents choosing to make this region their home, as well as international visitors enjoying the waters of the Seychelles and Maldives.”

He added, “They offer superbly built yachts with true ocean-going performance and immaculate quality, designed for year-round enjoyment with features such as fully enclosed and air-conditioned flybridge areas, expansive entertaining spaces across multiple indoor and outdoor zones, large adventure decks and swim platforms that deliver a true connection to the water, and panoramic opening windows that create an open-air feeling when conditions are ideal.”

Through this partnership, Maritimo owners across the GCC and surrounding territories will benefit from dedicated local representation, technical expertise and dependable after-sales support.

AVPN Announces New Strategy to Mobilise Capital for Asia’s USD 26-Trillion Social and Environmental Transformation

Strategy underscores its call for Asia’s leaders to shift from participation to leadership in advancing Asia-led solutions

SINGAPORE, July 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — AVPN, Asia’s largest platform for social impact, today announced a strategic evolution of its products and community models, in response to shifts in the global macro landscape and the growing urgency in Asia’s impact needs. The region faces a USD 26-trillion financing need through 2030 to maintain growth, eradicate poverty and respond to climate changes. AVPN is calling on Asia’s philanthropists, capital holders, and government leaders to take transformative action by shaping an Asia-led framework for how capital must be designed, deployed and coordinated – to meet Asia’s social and environmental needs. Entering its 15th year of moving capital towards Impact for Asia, this evolution affirms AVPN’s role as an Asia-led platform that builds an impact ecosystem rooted in on-ground realities, drives a more prosperous and inclusive Asia, and strengthens the region’s influence on global impact action.

“Asia can no longer be a passive participant in global impact conversations,” said Achal Agarwal, Chair, AVPN. “This USD 26‑trillion gap is not just a financing shortfall; it is an opportunity for Asia to design its own playbook and lead with frameworks grounded in our realities, while shaping global approaches for a more equitable, inclusive and prosperous future.”

Asia’s impact landscape is entering a phase of greater complexity and urgency, with capital pools growing, but deployment remaining fragmented across markets, sectors and stakeholder priorities. Official Development Assistance (ODA) fell by 23.1% in 2025 with a further decline projected for 2026, even as needs continue to rise. Global frameworks, while useful, often fail to capture Asia’s diversity, complexity and context. Within the region’s broader financing need, it also faces a USD 1.5 trillion annual SDG financing gap, underscoring the need for more coordinated capital.

AVPN’s strategic evolution introduces its community model, previously known as membership tiers, redesigned for impact at scale. This is to expand its engagement with the impact ecosystem, such that coordination and collaboration can be multiplied.

The Vantage and Discovery pathways are designed to balance breadth with depth.

  • Vantage: A paid, relationship-led experience designed for organisations seeking deeper strategic engagement, dedicated support, curated connections, and leadership opportunities.
  • Discovery: A flexible engagement pathway that enables organisations to access the AVPN ecosystem and engage through a combination of complimentary and pay-per-use opportunities.

AVPN’s product portfolio remains focused around four thematic priorities – Climate Action, Health Impact, Gender Equality and Economic Inclusion, which will be activated through dynamic cross‑cutting levers such as AI, policy, impact investing and faith‑based giving. These impact levers ensure AVPN and its impact ecosystem continually unlock new forms of capital and innovation to meet the rising needs of the region.

The new strategy reinforces AVPN’s mission of translating intent into impact by bringing together people, ideas and resources for Asia, and its vision of a thriving impact ecosystem that drives a prosperous and inclusive Asia. AVPN delivers this strategy through flagship convenings such as the AVPN Global Conference and summits, pooled funds, policy dialogues and thematic‑specific initiatives, AVPN will amplify community voices, connect unlikely allies and catalyse coalitions that can drive systems‑level change. Current initiatives include partnerships with Indonesia on health impact, with India on energy transition, collaborations with the ASEAN Business Advisory Council on corporate CSR, and work with ASEAN Ministries of Education on economic inclusion enabled by AI and technology.

“When Asia leads with its own frameworks, informed by local realities and grounded in trust, partnership and mutuality, we can turn challenges into opportunities for generations to come. Asia’s leaders must now step up. There is no time to waste. We should not be participants in our own region; we need to be architects of our Asia-led blueprint for impact. And, AVPN’s role as a trusted impact ecosystem is to provide the connective tissue that allows capital to move with confidence across borders, sectors and instruments, so that ambition becomes action,” added Naina Subberwal Batra, CEO, AVPN.

Solving Asia’s social and environmental challenges demands the full continuum of capital, where grants, debt, and equity are intentionally aligned to move solutions from innovation to scale. Asia needs more than just diverse forms of capital but also shared accountability among partners that reduces perceived risk and enables actors across sectors to converge around collective outcomes. With over 700 organisations across 43 markets, and a 15-year track record of building Asia’s impact ecosystem, AVPN is committed to meet this challenge with clarity and purpose for the hundreds of millions of people whose futures depend on the region getting this right.

By combining intelligent threat detection, cloud-native security, and operational excellence, Penta Security enables organizations to confidently navigate an increasingly complex threat landscape.

SAN ANTONIO, July 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Frost & Sullivan is pleased to announce that Penta Security has received the 2026 South Korea Company of the Year Recognition in the web application firewall (WAF) industry for its outstanding achievements in innovation, strategic execution, and customer impact. This recognition highlights Penta Security’s consistent leadership in driving measurable outcomes, strengthening its market position, and delivering customer-centric innovation in an evolving cybersecurity landscape.

Frost & Sullivan evaluates companies through a rigorous benchmarking process across two core dimensions: strategy effectiveness and strategy execution. Penta Security excelled in both, demonstrating its ability to align strategic initiatives with market demand while executing them with efficiency, consistency, and scale. “Penta Security exemplifies the qualities that define market leadership in today’s rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape. The company combines advanced technological capabilities, forward-looking strategic direction, and a strong commitment to customer success to create a compelling competitive advantage,” said Ying Ting Neoh, Industry Analyst, Frost & Sullivan.

Guided by a long-term growth strategy focused on cybersecurity innovation, cloud-native security, AI-driven threat detection, and customer success, Penta Security has demonstrated its ability to adapt and lead in a rapidly evolving market. The company recognized early shifts in the cybersecurity landscape and strategically expanded its capabilities beyond traditional WAF technologies to address emerging requirements in API security, cloud-native applications, and distributed environments. Its sustained investment in advanced security technologies has empowered it to maintain leadership while helping organizations navigate increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.

Innovation remains central to Penta Security’s approach. Its flagship WAF solution, WAPPLES, leverages the company’s proprietary Contents Classification and Evaluation Processing (COCEP™) engine, which analyzes web traffic through logical and semantic analysis rather than relying solely on conventional signature-based detection. The platform incorporates AI-based traffic analysis, enhanced encrypted traffic processing, support for modern security protocols, and advanced policy-testing capabilities. These innovations allow organizations to improve threat detection accuracy, reduce false positives, and strengthen protection against sophisticated web application and API attacks while maintaining application performance and operational efficiency.

“We are honored to receive this recognition from Frost & Sullivan, which reflects Penta Security’s long-standing commitment to innovation, execution, and customer value in the cybersecurity market. As security requirements expand across cloud-native environments, APIs, and AI-driven threat landscapes, we remain focused on delivering practical, high-performance security solutions that enable our customers to operate with confidence” said Jihae Lee, CCO (Chief Compliance Officer) of Penta Security.  

Penta Security’s unwavering commitment to customer experience further strengthens its position in the market. Through flexible deployment models—including appliance-based, software-based, cloud, and SaaS offerings—the company enables organizations to adopt security architectures aligned with their operational requirements and digital transformation strategies. Its life cycle-oriented approach, spanning pre-deployment consulting, architecture design, implementation, monitoring, incident response, and ongoing optimization, helps customers maximize operational value while ensuring resilience in mission-critical environments. This customer-centric strategy has contributed to strong adoption across government, financial services, healthcare, and enterprise sectors while fostering long-term customer trust and satisfaction.

Frost & Sullivan commends Penta Security for setting a high standard in competitive strategy, execution, and market responsiveness. The company’s vision, innovation pipeline, and customer-first culture are shaping the future of the WAF industry and driving tangible results at scale. In 2025, Penta Security achieved a steady double-digit year-over-year revenue growth in its WAF business, underscoring the company’s ability to translate innovation into measurable business outcomes while reinforcing customer confidence in its technology and services.

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents the Company of the Year Recognition to a company that demonstrates outstanding strategy development and implementation, resulting in measurable improvements in market share, customer satisfaction, and competitive positioning. The recognition honors forward-thinking organizations that are reshaping their industries through innovation and growth excellence.

BateriHub, Global Energy Battery Partner MNA Metal to Tighten Malaysia’s Used Battery Recycling Chain

By
Advertorial Desk
-

The MoU appoints DOE-licensed MNA Metal Resources as preferred collector for used automotive batteries, strengthening traceability across BateriHub and Global Energy Battery’s nationwide battery ecosystem.


KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 1 July 2026 – BateriHub, operated by Battery4U Sdn. Bhd., together with Global Energy Battery Sdn. Bhd., has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with MNA Metal Resources to strengthen the responsible collection, documentation and recycling of used automotive batteries in Malaysia.

Under the MoU, MNA Metal Resources will serve as the preferred used battery collector, either directly or through transporters appointed by MNA, for scrap batteries collected through BateriHub and Global Energy Battery’s operations. The arrangement is designed to ensure that used batteries are channelled through proper, licensed and documented collection and recycling processes.

“This MoU matters because every battery replacement has an afterlife,” said Stanly Ng, General Manager of BateriHub. “When a customer replaces a car battery with us, the old battery should not disappear into an unknown chain. It should be collected, recorded and handled by the right people. For customers, the promise is simple: when you choose BateriHub, we take care of the replacement quickly, and we take care of the used battery responsibly.”

The partnership comes as Malaysia’s automotive sector continues to expand. According to the Malaysian Automotive Association, Malaysia recorded 820,752 new vehicle sales in 2025, its second consecutive record year. While this MoU focuses on used lead-acid automotive batteries, it also comes amid wider national attention on battery waste management, with The Star reporting growing attention on regulated recycling, safe disposal pathways and battery traceability as Malaysia’s vehicle ecosystem evolves.

As Malaysia’s largest direct-owned automotive battery retailer, BateriHub plays a critical role at the point of replacement, where old batteries are handed over by customers at branches or during on-demand battery delivery services. Global Energy Battery, which focuses on battery wholesale, supply and distribution, contributes additional collection volume through its wider business network.

Together, BateriHub and Global Energy Battery have channelled approximately 280,000 used batteries, equivalent to around 4,200 tonnes, through formal disposal and recycling channels over the past three years. MNA Metal Resources is a licensed lead-acid battery recycler and smelter under the Department of Environment, with operations covering the collection, movement and processing of scheduled waste.

“As a company involved in the supply and distribution of batteries, we recognise that responsibility does not end at the point of sale,” said Sandy Yap, Chief Operating Officer of Global Energy Battery. “A sustainable battery industry requires proper collection, proper documentation and proper recycling. This partnership allows us to support that responsibility across our business network.”

“We are pleased to partner with BateriHub and Global Energy Battery to support a more transparent and responsible battery recycling ecosystem in Malaysia,” said Genly Villa Olaguer, Fleet Manager of MNA Metal Resources. “Proper handling of used batteries is essential to protect the environment and ensure that valuable materials can be recovered safely through licensed facilities.”

Used lead-acid batteries require proper handling because they contain materials such as lead and sulfuric acid, which can harm soil, waterways and communities if leaked, dumped or processed irresponsibly. Through this partnership, the companies aim to improve accountability in the movement of scrap batteries from retail and supply channels to licensed recycling facilities.

BateriHub said the MoU reflects its broader effort to make responsible waste management part of its core retail promise, not just a back-end operational process.
