HONG KONG, May 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As an emerging segment at the intersection of intelligent manufacturing and creative consumption, the global consumer 3D printing industry has become one of the fastest-growing markets in consumer technology. According to China Insights Industry Consultancy Limited (“CIC”), the global consumer 3D printing market reached US$6.0 billion in GMV in 2025 and is projected to grow to US$27.2 billion by 2030, a compound annual growth rate of 33.2%. With its product innovation, global channel network and AI-powered creative ecosystem, Creality has secured a defining position in the global consumer 3D printing value chain, and reached a new capital markets milestone.

Shenzhen Creality 3D Technology Co., Ltd. (3388.HK, “Creality” or the “Company”), the global consumer 3D printing leader, went public in Hong Kong on May 29, 2026, becoming the first consumer 3D printing company to debut on the Hong Kong market.

According to the company’s announcement, Creality issued 73,427,550 H-shares, raising net proceeds of approximately HK$1.272 billion. Through this IPO, the Company aims to accelerate AI integration, deepen its global creator ecosystem, and evolve from a hardware-led business into a global consumer 3D creative platform.

Inside the trading hall of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, Creality’s founding team rang the ceremonial listing gong.

From a 3D Printer Maker to an AI-Powered Creative Ecosystem

Creality began with a simple proposition: making consumer 3D printing easier and more affordable. Twelve years later, that proposition has expanded into a broader ecosystem covering hardware, materials, software, AI tools and creator commerce.

Founded in 2014 in Shenzhen, Creality is the only consumer 3D player offering a complete portfolio across 3D printers, 3D printing consumables, 3D scanners, laser engravers, and accessories. This full-scenario approach is showing up clearly in revenue mix: in 2025, scanner revenue grew 76.2% year-over-year and consumables grew 60.0%, lifting non-printer business from about 25% of total revenue in 2023 to 43% in 2025, against total group revenue of RMB 3.13 billion. By 2025 GMV, Creality ranks second in the global consumer 3D printer market with an 11.2% market share, first in the global consumer 3D scanner market with a 45.3% share, and fourth in the global consumer laser engraver market with a 4.8% share.

According to CIC, Creality is the first in the industry to fully incorporate proprietary AI technologies into every stage of the consumer 3D creative process. In modeling, generative AI on Creality Cloud lets users create 3D models from text or images, lowering the largest barrier to consumer adoption: the inability of most users to model on their own. In printing, machine-vision AI monitors material flow, auto-adjusts parameters and detects failures in real time. In laser engraving, cameras and AI algorithms guide the engraving process for higher precision and lower waste.

Creality Cloud, the Company’s flagship content community, has surpassed 6.2 million registered users and hosts 2.7 million 3D models, while Nexbie, the overseas e-commerce platform launched in August 2025, enables creators to monetize their work directly within the Creality network. As of May 2026, the Company holds 957 patents in China and overseas, focused on optics, motion control, artificial intelligence and sensor integration.

Charting the Path Forward

Through the convergence of hardware, software, AI and content platforms, Creality is bringing 3D creation from a tool used by professional users into a mainstream consumer experience for households, classrooms and individual creators. Today, the Company’s products are sold in approximately 140 countries and regions.

With Hong Kong as its new capital platform, the company will accelerate the three strategic priorities it has already been advancing: further accelerating AI integration across the consumer 3D creative process, building on its existing proprietary AI capabilities including AI-powered modeling, intelligent printing and machine-vision capabilities; further expanding its global presence, building on its existing sales network covering 140 countries, to deepen localization in key overseas markets; and further broadening the creator economy, scaling the existing Creality Cloud (which already has 6.2 million users) and the newly launched Nexbie into a complete platform that supports creators from initial idea through to commercial monetization.

Together, these efforts will accelerate the Company’s ongoing strategic transformation, building on the solid progress it has already made. With the successful listing as a powerful new catalyst, it will leverage the capital raised to deepen its AI-driven innovation, scale global creator platforms, and expand international reach, to complete the build-out of its global AI-powered 3D creative ecosystem that empowers every creator worldwide to turn their ideas into reality.

About Creality

Shenzhen Creality 3D Technology Co., Ltd. (3388.HK), founded in 2014, is a global consumer 3D printing product and service provider listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. According to CIC, by 2025 GMV, Creality ranked second in the global consumer 3D printer market, first in consumer 3D scanners and fourth in consumer laser engravers.

Leak Detection + Legal Claims, End-to-End: Hong Kong Civil Claim Centre × HK Find Surveyor Launch Comprehensive Water-Seepage Dispute Service

Professional seepage-inspection reports feed directly into civil claims, helping property owners recover repair costs


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 30 May 2026 – To address the persistent problem of building water seepage affecting Hong Kong property owners, HK Find Surveyor (香港搵公正行網) and Hong Kong Civil Claim Centre (香港民事索償中心) today announced a joint service that combines professional seepage detection with legal claims into a single, end-to-end process — helping affected owners move from identifying the source of a leak to recovering their losses with complete support.

The core difficulty of seepage disputes

Water seepage is a common problem in Hong Kong’s older and high-density housing, yet owners typically face three obstacles: difficulty proving the source of the seepage, responsible parties refusing to acknowledge or compensate, and a lack of sufficient evidence to bring a claim. Many cases reach a dead end simply because there is no professional inspection report.

How the end-to-end service works

  • Seepage detection (HK Find Surveyor) — Using methods such as infrared thermal imaging, moisture testing and water-pipe pressure testing, the source of the seepage and the responsible party are determined, and a credible written inspection report is issued.
  • Legal claims (Hong Kong Civil Claim Centre) — Using that inspection report as key evidence, owners are assisted in issuing a formal demand to the responsible party, negotiating, and where necessary pursuing repair costs and related losses through civil proceedings.

The key to the service: the seepage inspection report is precisely the core evidence required for a civil claim. By connecting the two stages, owners avoid shuttling between different organisations and can ensure a complete chain of evidence.

Representatives’ comments

A spokesperson for HK Find Surveyor said: “In many seepage cases, the dispute comes down to the difficulty of pinpointing the source. A rigorous, impartial inspection report provides a clear factual basis for everything that follows.”

A spokesperson for Hong Kong Civil Claim Centre added: “In the claims process, the quality of evidence often determines how the recovery progresses. A professional seepage report gives us a firmer basis to communicate with the responsible party when handling claims for seepage-related losses.”

(Note: This service provides legal consultation and claims assistance; the outcome of each case depends on its facts and evidence.)

Applicable situations

  • Seepage, mould or peeling on ceilings, walls or floors
  • Suspected seepage from an upstairs unit, external wall or common areas
  • The responsible party has been asked to act but has refused or delayed
  • A professional report is needed to support recovery of repair costs or losses

The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.

CLPS Incorporation Receives Nasdaq Notification Regarding Minimum Bid Price Requirements

By
Advertorial Desk

HONG KONG, May 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — CLPS Incorporation (the “Company” or “CLPS”) (Nasdaq: CLPS) today announced that it received a notification letter (the “Notification Letter”) from Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) dated May 27, 2026, indicating that the Company’s closing bid price for its common shares fell below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive trading days, which is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market. The Nasdaq notification does not affect CLPS’s current listing or trading of the Company’s securities on the Nasdaq Global Market. This press release is issued pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(b), which requires prompt disclosure upon the receipt of a deficiency notification.

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of US$1.00 per share, and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) provides that a failure to meet the minimum bid price requirement exists if the deficiency continues for a period of 30 consecutive business days. Based on the closing bid price of the Company’s common shares for the 30 consecutive business days from April 14, 2026 to May 26, 2026, the Company no longer meets the minimum bid price requirement.

Pursuant to the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been granted a 180-calendar day compliance period, until November 23, 2026, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. To regain compliance, CLPS’s common shares must have a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. If the Company achieves this within the compliance period, Nasdaq will provide written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed.

In the event that the Company does not regain compliance by November 23, 2026, it may be eligible for an additional 180-day compliance period by transferring to the Nasdaq Capital Market from the Nasdaq Global Market, provided it meets the necessary listing requirements, and notifying Nasdaq of its intent to cure the deficiency by effecting a reverse stock split if necessary, or may be subject to delisting.

The Notification Letter will have no effect on the Company’s business operations, and CLPS intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common shares and is committed to taking all reasonable measures, including, but not limited to, implementing a reverse share split of its outstanding common shares, to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement.

Less Effort, More Living: CASEKOO Launches Ultimate LinKOO Collection

By
Advertorial Desk
-

LOS ANGELES, May 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Some things are too romantic to ever fade. After becoming a cult favorite among working professionals, CASEKOO — a global creative powerhouse in phone accessories — proudly unveils the ultimate LinKOO Collection: a striking new range of motion-inspired colors, alongside the legendary ClipSafe™ design that started it all.


For years, CASEKOO built protective accessories. Today, the brand moves beyond protection — into ease, emotion, and everyday romance.

Experience the latest chapter of LinKOO now. Visit CASEKOO’s official channels and discover your piece of romance — today.

The Romantic Origin: Ralph’s Lightbulb Moment

The LinKOO strap wasn’t born in a boardroom. It was born on a walk.

Ralph, founder of CASEKOO and the designer behind LinKOO, has been with his wife for nearly two decades. Their love remains unchanged: they always leave the house holding hands. But there’s one small frustration—his hands are already full with his wife’s hand and her bag. And Ralph’s own pockets? Always stuffed—car keys, lighters, pocket knives, receipts, a stray coin or two. No room for his phone. And whenever he needs something from his pockets, he has to dig through them, over and over again.

One evening, walking together — one hand linked, the other burdened — Ralph thought: What if my phone case had a strap that could hold everything in my pocket?

Not a technical harness. Not a bulky lanyard. Just a simple, soft, secure loop. So he could carry everything and still reach for his wife’s hand. No more digging through pockets. No more embarrassment of having no place for his phone. That single thought became the world’s first ClipSafe™ system. Became LinKOO. A phone case with an open clasp that folds away. A strap. A small, romantic rebellion against “too many things to hold.”

If StandKOO helps people free their hands indoors or in static moments — enabling more focus — then LinKOO helps people free their hands outdoors, enabling more living. One works where you stay. The other moves where you go.

CASEKOO’s Brand Transformation: Less Effort, More Living

With the ultimate LinKOO collection, CASEKOO officially transforms—from a plain accessories brand into a lifestyle-driven powerhouse. The brand’s new direction is simple yet revolutionary: Less effort. More living.

For years, CASEKOO focused on freeing people’s hands through thoughtful innovations like the award-winning MagicStand™. But over time, the brand realized that what people truly need is more than hands-free products. They need products that help life feel lighter, smoother, and easier to move through.

Not more features. Not more complexity. Just products that remove friction from daily life—so users can focus on what actually matters: movement, connection, and the people beside them.

“It is a completely different experience,” said the CASEKOO design team.

“Starting from an idea born out of love, the ClipSafe™ carries something intangible yet unforgettable: the feeling of long walks, endless possibilities, and that unmistakable lightness when we don’t have to carry everything alone.

“For years, we asked ourselves: how can we protect what’s in your hand? Now, we ask: how can we free what’s in your heart? That question led us here. LinKOO is our answer.

“In the beginning, we set out to free people’s hands. Today, we aim to free up more of life—time, attention, and the freedom to focus on what truly matters. That’s the hands-free way. That’s less effort, more living. CASEKOO no longer makes accessories for your device. CASEKOO makes room for your life.”

About CASEKOO
CASEKOO is a design-led lifestyle accessories brand built around a simple idea: freeing your hands in everyday life. Through thoughtful hands-free solutions, we help people move seamlessly between different moments of the day—from active, on-the-go moments to times of focus and connection.

We believe technology should support life, not interrupt it. By designing products that adapt naturally to how people live, work, and move, CASEKOO reduces everyday friction and creates a more effortless experience—making room for freedom, connection, and the moments that truly matter.

OCI Global Q1 2026 Trading Update

By
Advertorial Desk
-

AMSTERDAM, May 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hassan Badrawi, CEO of OCI Global:

“During the first quarter, OCI made continued progress in executing its strategic priorities, including the completion of the sale of OCI Ammonia Holding to AGROFERT, the handover of Beaumont New Ammonia to Woodside, and the monetisation of our entire Methanex stake through a series of transactions during the quarter and thereafter. These steps reflect further progress on key strategic executions.

Looking ahead, our focus remains on disciplined cost and balance sheet management and advancing our current strategic priorities, including a potential transaction for OCI Nitrogen. The Company continues to support the ongoing Enterprise Chamber process and will provide further updates as appropriate in line with its disclosure obligations.”

Statement from the Enterprise Chamber Appointed Directors:

“Over the past months, we have discharged our special mandate in constructive collaboration with the Company. We aim to be in a position to determine by the end of June whether to submit the Orascom transaction for shareholder approval. Any further updates will be provided as and when appropriate, in accordance with applicable disclosure requirements.”

Key Financial Highlights

  • Adjusted EBITDA for OCI’s residual operating business OCI Nitrogen (“OCIN”) on a standalone basis (excluding OCI Ammonia Holding “OCI AH”) was USD 52 million in the quarter. Total own-produced sales volumes were 539 thousand tonnes in the quarter compared to 484 thousand tonnes in Q1 2025. Q1 2026 operating free cash flow for OCIN on a standalone basis (excluding OCI AH) was negative at USD 33 million, reflecting a USD 76 million working capital outflow. This primarily relates to the reversal of late‑2025 payables and receivables optimisation.
  • Within Corporate Entities, the Company’s corporate cost base remains above the previously guided run-rate, reflecting ongoing strategic processes, including the Enterprise Chamber proceedings, the potential sale of OCI Nitrogen and the completion of strategic review activities, as well as related non-recurring items. Corporate costs at Corporate Entities were USD 18.5 million in Q1 2026.
  • The Group’s net cash position stood at USD 695 million as of 31 March 2026 (excluding net proceeds from Methanex shares sold after that date), compared to a net debt position of USD 54 million as of 31 December 2025. The movement reflects net proceeds from the handover of Beaumont New Ammonia (“BNA”), the closing of the OCI Ammonia Holding sale, and the partial monetisation of OCI’s Methanex equity consideration, offset by ongoing HoldCo costs, including one-offs and operational cash flows, as well as the elimination of OCI AH net cash post-divestment. As of the 29 May 2026, the Group had a net cash position of approximately USD 1.08 billion.

Key Strategic and Business Highlights

  • Following the Beaumont New Ammonia divestment and handover to Woodside on 25 March 2026, as part of the divestment, OCI has received the USD 470 million deferred consideration, representing 20% of total proceeds, subject to outstanding construction obligations, certain closing related adjustments, and remaining estimated close-out costs. Significant progress has been made in finalising these close-out costs, with the majority of subcontractor claims now settled, and the residual cost exposure having narrowed meaningfully. OCI continues to estimate a total cost to completion of approximately USD 1.8 billion, inclusive of all close-out costs.
  • On 31 March 2026, OCI announced the successful completion of the sale of 100% of its equity interests in OCI AH to AGROFERT, a.s. (“AGROFERT”), a significant European nitrogen products manufacturer. The transaction was valued at EUR 290 million. Net proceeds, including Q1 2026 cash flows, are expected to be approximately USD 319 million after contractually agreed closing adjustments. 
  • OCI has fully unwound its equity position in Methanex Corporation (9,944,308 shares, representing approximately 12.9% of the issued and outstanding share capital) through a series of block trades during the quarter and subsequently, achieving a net weighted average price of USD 54.56 per share, 21% above OCI’s entry price at the time of the OCI Methanol transaction signing in September 2024. Total net proceeds amounted to approximately USD 543 million, after customary fees and expenses. 
  • OCI continues to evaluate and pursue a strategic transaction for OCI Nitrogen consistent with the strategic review process and will update the market as appropriate.
  • There have been no material developments in respect of the Fertiglobe contingent consideration. Accordingly, the provision remains consistent with the position previously reported in the audited 2025 annual accounts. The Board continues to consider the provision of USD 361.6 million to represent the best estimate of the present exposure.

Key Operational Highlights

Continuing Operations, as presented in this trading update, reflect the performance of the European Nitrogen segment and Corporate Entities.

European Nitrogen

  • Performance benefited from a supportive pricing environment and to a modest extent some gas hedges, with nitrogen prices increasing during the period, although margins remained constrained by higher gas input costs. The period also reflected cost pressure and some demand softness across certain segments, driven by elevated nitrogen and energy prices.
  • Additional working capital outflows were driven by pricing effects (natural gas and selling prices), resulting in higher receivables and inventory balances, which more than offset the EBITDA generated in the period. Near‑term cash flow performance is expected to be impacted by planned turnarounds and the normalisation of working capital.
  • The quarter was impacted by a temporary operational disruption affecting one ammonia line, resulting in ammonia imports to cover the shortfall. The affected line has since been restarted, and downstream operations remained consistent throughout.
  • Looking ahead, performance remains subject to external factors, including geopolitical developments and energy market conditions, with pricing continuing to reflect disruption in global trade flows; against this backdrop, fertiliser prices have softened from April peaks, reflecting geopolitical developments. In this context, OCI Nitrogen operates in a structurally volatile, high operating leverage environment, where relatively small changes in natural gas costs, commodity pricing, plant reliability and other macroeconomic factors can have a disproportionate impact on earnings and valuation. The Company continues to actively monitor and respond to these dynamics.

Corporate Entities

  • The Company’s ability to achieve its previously guided HoldCo cost run-rate has been deferred, reflecting continued costs related to managing the close-out of the BNA project claims, the Enterprise Chamber proceedings, the potential transaction for OCI Nitrogen and the completion of ongoing strategic review activities, together with associated non-recurring items, including employee severance and contractual commitments, as well as transaction, banking, legal and advisory fees, and other related expenses. Based on the above and project related committed costs, corporate costs for 2026 are expected to exceed the annualised Q1 figure.

“XCMG’s products have become even more intelligent since my last visit,” said a returning customer.

“Working with XCMG feels like being part of a family,” said a customer from Africa.

A customer from Saudi Arabia also expressed hopes of visiting China every three months in the future.

With growing participation from global customers and record signing results, XCMG’s global partnership network continues to deepen and expand.

BLUETTI FridgePower Hits $2M Milestone and Global Award Ahead of Retail Launch

The world’s first dedicated refrigerator failsafe receives global honors as its $2M Kickstarter campaign enters the final countdown.

LOS ANGELES, May 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Clean energy pioneer BLUETTI has earned Frost & Sullivan recognition for FridgePower, the world’s first ultra-slim backup power system purpose-built for refrigerators*. Surpassing $2 million in funding, the Kickstarter campaign concludes May 31—marking the final window for early-bird pricing before global shipping and the official retail launch begin in June.

Ahead of its June retail launch, BLUETTI FridgePower surpassed $2M on Kickstarter, setting a new standard for dedicated, automatic refrigerator backup power during outages.
Ahead of its June retail launch, BLUETTI FridgePower surpassed $2M on Kickstarter, setting a new standard for dedicated, automatic refrigerator backup power during outages.

The FridgePower addresses the inherent vulnerability of modern kitchens to unpredictable outages. This ultra-slim, automatic backup provides seamless 24/7 protection—preventing food spoilage during overnight failures or when the home is unattended. Industry experts have recognized this dedicated utility, highlighting its plug-and-play simplicity and a refrigeration-specific UPS protocol that offers enhanced reliability compared to general-purpose portable power stations.
 

FridgePower Stories from the Field

  • The $4,100 Beef Defense: Protecting High-Stakes Assets

    In a high-stakes test of grid independence, 20-year IBEW electrician Kyle partnered with Jordan, a professional chiropractor, to protect a critical asset: 456 lbs of premium beef valued at $4,100. By quickly deploying the FridgePower and a BlueCell 200 expansion battery, they simulated a grid failure test. The system’s 10ms UPS transition was so instantaneous that Jordan noted “not even a flicker” from the appliances. This professional-grade redundancy transformed a potential $4,100 loss into total household peace of mind.
     

  • The Fridge-Focused Solution: TechRadar & pv magazine’s Technical Validation

    Leading voices from TechRadar (4.5/5 score) have hailed the FridgePower for bridging the gap between rugged backup gear and expensive whole-home backup systems. Jack highlighted the appliance-first philosophy, noting that the 75mm ultra-slim profile and off-white colour feels far closer to a modern home appliance than a 2kWh power station. This aesthetic is backed by deep-layer engineering; pv magazine/ESS News’ technical review focused on the bypass-first architecture and idle power draw, which prioritizes direct power flow to the fridge to extend battery life. Tristan concluded that the FridgePower offers a simpler way to secure the most important part of a house, making it an ideal energy solution not just for homeowners, but for those who rent or lease as well.

    Based in Florida’s hurricane-prone coast, Zachary Shahan of CleanTechnica highlighted the FridgePower’s unique convenience compared to traditional home battery backups. He noted the common struggle of power outages: “It can be a real hassle to pull a refrigerator out every time… then push that big fridge back in place.” By staying permanently connected, FridgePower eliminates this frustration. Beyond the sleek design, Zachary emphasized the practical resilience of the Extreme Weather Alert feature, which monitors local forecasts to automatically top off the battery ahead of predicted storms.

A Mission Driven by BLUETTI Community

“Our community’s feedback highlights a clear gap: while portable power stations can run a fridge, they often require manual intervention during a crisis,” said James Ray, spokesperson for BLUETTI. “We engineered FridgePower to eliminate that friction—providing a specialized, automatic backup that stays ready 24/7 so homeowners don’t have to lift a finger when the lights go out. Combined with the Frost & Sullivan recognition, this reinforces our mission: delivering smarter, mission-critical energy solutions for the modern home.”
