HONG KONG, April 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — DPC Dash Ltd – Domino’s Pizza China (“DPC Dash” or the “Company”, and together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) (1405.HK), Domino’s exclusive master franchisee for the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Macau, continued to unlock the potential of China’s underpenetrated pizza market amid a complex and evolving consumption landscape in Q1 2026. Backed by its proven 4D strategy – Development, Delicious Pizza at Value, Delivery, and Digital – the Company delivered simultaneous progress in store expansion and operational quality, underscoring its robust business resilience and long-term growth potential.

In terms of store development, DPC Dash continued to follow a disciplined “go broader, go deeper” expansion strategy, strategically “deepening” penetration in existing cities to enhance market share and “broadening” its reach into new markets. According to DPC Dash’s First Quarter 2026 Investor Fact Sheet (“Investor Fact Sheet”), as of March 31, 2026, DPC Dash’s total store count reached 1,462 stores across 72 cities, representing a net increase of 147 stores and expansion into 12 new cities compared to the end of 2025. On January 24, DPC Dash opened its 1,405^th store in Sanya, Hainan Province, marking a symbolic milestone as the store count matched the company’s stock ticker on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX). As of March 31, the Company’s net new stores, stores under construction, and stores signed represent 65% of the full-year 2026 store opening target, with the pace of expansion far exceeding expectations. Non-Tier 1 cities have become the Company’s main growth engine, while Tier 1 cities continue to provide a resilient, high-quality revenue base with proven unit economics.

Newly opened stores in new markets continued to deliver strong performance. DPC Dash now holds all of the top 50 positions for first 30-day sales among Domino’s network of more than 22,100 stores globally, fully demonstrating the enormous potential of the Chinese market and the Company’s outstanding operational capabilities. In terms of store count, the Chinese Mainland market has remained the 3rd largest international market within Domino’s Pizza’s global system.

In terms of its Digital strategy, the Company has significantly broadened its consumer base while deepening its understanding of consumer preferences. In the first quarter of 2026, DPC Dash continued to drive product innovation, introducing new global flavors including the Year of the Horse New Year limited-edition Yak Beef Matsutake Ham Fortune Pizza, the classic upgraded Bolognaise Plus Pizza, the innovative Snowball Cheese Margherita Pizza, and the Quadruple Cheese Grand Slam Pizza catering to cheese lovers, while also iterating the product portfolio with two new rice and pasta dishes, offering customers greater choice and enhanced value. These new offerings resonated strongly with consumers, effectively supporting consumer preference and sales growth even in a soft consumption environment and highly competitive market.

In terms of marketing activities, the Company brought back the classic “Mega Week” promotion and extended the “Crazy Tuesday & Wednesday” offer through Thursday, further boosting customer visits and order volume via value-driven promotions. Meanwhile, the Company collaborated with the Dunhuang Museum to offer exclusive Chinese cultural and creative (C&C) products, integrating traditional cultural elements into the brand experience, further strengthening brand affinity and cultural identity.

The expansion of the Company’s loyalty program validates the success of its digital strategy. As of March 31, 2026, the loyalty program membership exceeded 38.8 million, compared to 27.2 million in the same period of 2025. Over the past 12 months, 17.6 million new customers placed their first orders with Domino’s Pizza China. The accumulated user data helps the Company to achieve personalized recommendations, precision marketing, and efficient operations, further enhancing user stickiness and repeat purchase rates.

With further strengthened brand equity and rising brand momentum, DPC Dash will continue to execute its 4D strategy, planning to add approximately 350 net new stores during the full year 2026 to further enhance market penetration.

DPC Dash has gained inclusion in major indices including the Hang Seng Composite Index and Stock Connect programs, demonstrating capital market recognition of the Company’s development prospects. With its strong execution track record, attractive store economics, and operational efficiency, the Company continues to deliver robust performance in a dynamic and competitive environment, creating sustainable, long-term value for shareholders.

YIWU, China, April 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Despite the complexity and volatility of the global trade environment, consumers worldwide remain steadfast in their pursuit of festive experiences and an enhanced quality of life. In Yiwu, the peak season for Christmas exports kicked off as expected in March, driving the entire industry chain into full swing.

Yiwugo.com, the official website of the Yiwu Commodity Market, is the largest commodity wholesale market in the world. According to data from Yiwugo, search and order volumes for Christmas-related products, such as Christmas trees and Santa Claus decorations, have been steadily increasing since March. This seasonal surge is supported by long-established manufacturers with deep industry roots, many of whom have been operating for more than a decade, and some for over 20 years.

“Christmas Gift”: Leveraging Guangdong’s Craftsmanship to Fulfill Yiwu’s Global Orders

Lu Fei, the head of Christmas Gift, brings over 20 years of experience in the Christmas gift industry. To guarantee exceptional product quality, the company has established its production base in Guangdong, capitalizing on the region’s superior craftsmanship and robust supply chain resources. Committed to rigorous manufacturing standards, it steadfastly rejects low-quality mass production.

“Yiwugo has provided our company with substantial growth opportunities,” Lu Fei remarked. His store ranks among the platform’s Top 20 across all industries, with average daily traffic recently exceeding 5,000 visitors. Impressively, over 70% of online trial-order customers have been converted into long-term major offline clients.

Christmas Gift specializes in Christmas figurines, miniature Christmas trees, and nutcrackers, offering nearly 10,000 product varieties, many of which are protected by proprietary patents. The company maintains stringent quality control throughout the production processes: telescopic products undergo multiple tests to ensure seamless operation and durability, while illuminated items are crafted to meet the highest industry standards. At its Guangdong production base, Christmas trees alone undergo up to nine surface-finishing techniques, far exceeding basic coating requirements.

The company is dedicated to launching new product series every six months. This year, its newly introduced miniature Christmas tree display box, known for its elegant design, secured a single order of over 80,000 units from a US client. Since April, repeat orders from South American customers have remained strong, while several long-term partners have each recorded annual purchases surpassing RMB 1 million.

Shengfa: Craftsmanship as the Foundation of Quality Excellence

With over two decades of industry experience, Shengfa Industry and Trade Co., Ltd. has consistently placed product quality and R&D innovation at the core of its competitiveness. Its Christmas trees, LED fiber-optic trees, wreaths, rattan products, and related items are exported to markets across the Middle East, Europe, Japan, the ROK, South America and beyond.

Under the leadership of Chen Yongnian, the company remains firmly committed to maintaining the highest quality standards. All materials are 100% virgin, and the flocking on the artificial plants is dense and flawless, leaving no room for compromise or substandard workmanship. Before each batch departs the factory, every product undergoes a minimum of five comprehensive inspections. These stringent quality controls have allowed Shengfa to maintain its partnerships with several established European traders for over a decade. In Brazil, a major client operating more than 2,000 supermarkets records annual purchases exceeding RMB 3 million.

More than 80% of Shengfa’s core production team members are highly skilled technicians with over eight years of experience. The company regularly hosts training sessions to maintain its commitment to quality excellence through craftsmanship. Chen Yongnian noted that in 2025, the company forged partnerships with several prestigious clients through Yiwugo, reinforcing its confidence in expanding its presence on this platform.

With the Christmas procurement season now in full swing, clients from Brazil and other South American markets have begun placing early orders. As a result, the company’s production schedule is fully booked through August.

From Online Traffic to Offline Deals: Yiwugo Connects Merchants to the Global Market

In Yiwu, many Christmas goods manufacturers have followed a similar development path to that of Christmas Gift and Shengfa. As the official platform for Yiwu’s commodities market, Yiwugo is dedicated to integrating online and offline channels, wholesale and retail operations, and domestic and cross-border trade, thereby bridging global buyers and local producers. Through this model, the platform delivers end-to-end services from online inquiries and sample dispatch to offline transactions.

As the peak season gains momentum, a wide range of new Christmas products will be shipped by Yiwu merchants through Yiwugo to destinations around the world. Behind this global journey are factory workers, Yiwugo’s business operators, and quality controllers, whose dedication and professionalism help ensure the timely delivery of Christmas products to markets worldwide, reflecting the craftsmanship and warmth of Chinese-made goods.

NEW YORK, April 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The global pet industry continues to evolve as owners increasingly seek personalized items that reflect the emotional bond they share with their animals. From custom name tags to engraved memorial pieces, personalized pet products are becoming a meaningful segment within both e-commerce and local craft businesses.

Monport Laser, a provider of precision laser engraver and laser cutter solutions, is supporting this shift by enabling creators to produce detailed, customized pet items across a wide range of materials.

The Growing Appeal of Pet Engraving and Customization

Personalized pet engraving has gained traction as pet owners move beyond standard, mass-produced accessories. Items such as engraved collars, ID tags, feeding stations, and decorative plaques offer both practical value and emotional significance. In particular, memorial products—such as engraved frames, urns, and keepsakes—have become an important category, reflecting the deep connection many people have with their pets.

This demand is also being fueled by online marketplaces and small business platforms, where customized pet products consistently rank among popular handmade and made-to-order items. The ability to offer personalization—names, dates, portraits, and unique designs—gives small businesses a competitive edge while allowing customers to create something truly one-of-a-kind.

CO2 Laser Engraving Machine Enables Versatile Pet Product Creation

To support a wide variety of materials used in pet products, a CO2 laser engraving machine remains a core tool for many creators. Monport’s CO2 laser machines are designed to handle wood, acrylic, leather, glass, and rubber—materials commonly used for pet tags, signage, and accessories.

Laser machines like the Effi Series CO2 laser engraving machine offer larger working areas and enhanced speed, making them suitable for batch production and larger items such as pet furniture accents or engraved display pieces. At the same time, compact options allow smaller workshops to maintain precision without requiring industrial-scale setups.

Desktop Laser Cutter Supports Small Businesses and Creators

For those entering the personalized pet product space, a desktop laser cutter provides an accessible starting point. Monport’s Reno Series, for example, combines ease of use with features such as camera-assisted alignment and autofocus, helping users produce consistent results with minimal setup.

These systems are often used for creating smaller items like pet tags, keychains, and customized ornaments. Their ability to handle multiple designs in a single workflow also supports batch production—an important advantage for online sellers managing custom orders.

Fiber Laser Engraver and MOPA Fiber Lasers for Metal Pet Products

Metal engraved pet products, including stainless steel tags and premium pet accessories, require a different level of precision. A fiber laser engraver is typically used for these applications, offering fine detail and long-lasting markings that resist wear.

Monport’s systems, including those utilizing MOPA fiber lasers, expand these capabilities by enabling color marking on metal surfaces. This allows for more creative flexibility, particularly for businesses looking to produce visually distinctive or higher-end items.

Balancing Creativity and Efficiency in a Growing Market

As the personalized pet product market continues to expand, the ability to balance creative customization with efficient production is becoming increasingly important. Laser technology offers a practical solution, allowing creators to maintain detail and consistency while scaling their operations.

Monport Laser’s range of solutions reflects this balance—supporting both individual creators and growing businesses as they respond to evolving consumer preferences in the pet industry.

National Pet Day Sale: Limited-Time Event

In recognition of the growing interest in pet-related creations, Monport Laser is running its National Pet Day Sale from April 9 to April 16, 2026.

XIAMEN, China, April 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Milesight, a leading provider of innovative IoT products, announced the launch of the EG71 Building IoT Gateway, designed to address smart building integration challenges.

As smart buildings scale in complexity, integration remains the industry’s key bottleneck. Fragmented protocols, including BACnet, Modbus, KNX, M-Bus, I/O, and LoRaWAN®, continue to operate in isolation, forcing integrators to rely on multiple gateways and protocol converters.

Milesight’s EG71 Building IoT Gateway is designed to simplify this complexity by enabling deep integration across both wired and wireless devices. It unifies major building protocols connectivity into a single device, including Modbus, BACnet, KNX, M-Bus, I/O, and LoRaWAN®. The gateway can support up to two thousand devices and twenty thousand data points while maintaining a streamlined architecture without introducing additional gateways or protocol layers.

The EG71 also delivers industry-leading connectivity, supporting Modbus TCP and BACnet/IP for seamless BMS integration, alongside MQTT(S) and HTTP(S) for secure connections to cloud and third-party platforms. Together, these capabilities create a unified data flow from field devices to applications within one integrated framework.

Beyond connectivity, the EG71 introduces deeper integration at the edge. With built-in support for Node-RED, Python, and Docker, it enables real-time data processing and application deployment directly at the gateway. This allows sensitive data to remain on-site while reducing reliance on cloud infrastructure or stable network connectivity.

With the EG71, Milesight moves beyond simply adding another gateway to the ecosystem. We are advancing how gateways enable deep integration. This is a shift from connecting systems to truly integrating them. By improving unified integration, Milesight positions the EG71 as a significant step forward for next-generation smart buildings.

About Milesight

Milesight offers multi-potential sensing products to capture the most meaningful data and makes it accessible across diverse applications. It innovatively applies emerging technologies such as AI, 5G, and IoT to distinct use scenarios. With a commitment to making sensing matter, Milesight quickly responds to customer-specific challenges and collaborates with an expanding network of partners to deliver unique data value. It is determined to make real, positive impacts in smart buildings, intelligent traffic, intelligent security, smart cities, and beyond.

DUBAI, UAE, April 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Mantle, the high-performance distribution layer for real-world assets (RWAs), connecting traditional finance and on-chain liquidity, and Bybit, the world’s leading global cryptocurrency exchange, today announced the live integration of xStocks on Mantle. In collaboration with BackedFi, xStocks, and Flowdesk, Mantle becomes one of the first Ethereum Layer 2 networks to bring tokenized equities to on-chain liquidity, enabling users to trade the world’s top tokenized equities around the clock, globally, on-chain via Fluxion, Mantle’s native decentralised exchange.

The integration marks a significant milestone in Mantle’s mission to serve as the go-to real-world asset (RWA) chain, bridging the gap between traditional finance and on-chain liquidity together with decentralised finance through its institutional-grade infrastructure, composability, and unparalleled distribution reach.

Bringing Tokenized Equities to On-Chain Liquidity

xStocks are tokenized tracker certificates that provide on-chain exposure to leading public equities. They are fully collateralized by the underlying securities and compliant under the Swiss DLT Act.

By integrating xStocks on Mantle, tradable via Fluxion, one of Mantle’s native DEX, Fluxion’s hybrid Automated Market Maker (AMM) and Request for Quote (RFQ) infrastructure ensures that users can trade tokenized assets with institutional-grade precision and minimal slippage.

Users gain seamless access to some of the world’s most sought-after tokenized equities, including TSLAx, NVDAx, AAPLx, METAx, GOOGLx, MSTRx, HOODx, SPYx, QQQx, and CRCLx tradable any day of the week, globally accessible where permitted.

Unlike traditional equity markets bound by opening hours and market schedules, xStocks on Mantle enables users to gain exposure to leading global equities any day of the week, responding to market developments as they happen rather than waiting for exchanges to open.

Why Mantle: The Distribution Layer Advantage

Mantle’s integration of xStocks is underpinned by three core pillars that set the chain apart as the right home for RWAs to move from.

• Institutional-Grade Infrastructure: Mantle Chain provides the compliance-friendly, high-performance blockchain infrastructure required for tokenized asset distribution at scale.
• Composability: xStocks on Mantle is fully composable with a 200+ partner ecosystem, enabling builders and protocols to design capital-efficient strategies around tokenized equities with deep on-chain liquidity.
• Unparalleled Reach with Bybit: As one of the few chains with direct deposit and withdrawal support for xStocks exclusively through Bybit, Mantle provides an unmatched distribution gateway for retail and institutional capital, seamlessly connecting centralised and on-chain markets.

“Real-world assets have long needed a distribution layer with the reach and rails that institutional adoption demands,” said Emily Bao, Key Advisor at Mantle and Spot Executive at Bybit. “The integration of xStocks on Mantle demonstrates exactly what becomes possible when the right teams unite around the right infrastructure to meet the right assets. Mantle was always the home for RWAs, not just to house them, but to distribute them at scale. This is what the distribution layer was built for.”

The Future of RWA is on Mantle

The xStocks integration on Mantle represents the first phase of a broader roadmap designed to deepen liquidity, improve execution, and reward early participants within the Mantle ecosystem. Subsequent phases together with BackedFi, will introduce xChange (Atomic RFQ) support and the xPoints loyalty programme, further expanding the utility and accessibility of tokenized equities through xStocks on Mantle.

“Tokenized equities have the potential to reshape how people access public markets by making them more global, more programmable, and more connected to on-chain capital,” said Val Gui, GM of xStocks. “xStocks is built to help reimagine that access on-chain, and our expansion to Mantle is part of bringing tokenized equities into more global, crypto-native markets.”

Through this collaboration, Mantle continues to cement its position as the premier distribution layer for RWAs, combining institutional-grade security with the scalability of a next-generation Layer 2.

About Mantle

Mantle positions itself as the premier distribution layer and gateway for institutions and TradFi to connect with on-chain liquidity and access real-world assets, powering how real-world finance flows. With over $4B+ in community-owned assets, Mantle combines credibility, liquidity and scalability with institutional-grade infrastructure to support large-scale adoption. The ecosystem is anchored by $MNT within Bybit, and built out through core ecosystem projects like mETH, fBTC, MI4 and more. This is complemented by Mantle Network’s partnerships with leading issuers and protocols such as Ethena USDe, Ondo USDY, and OP-Succinct. For more information visit mantle.xyz.
