Vietnam Steps In to Supply Laos With 50 Million Litres of Fuel Amid Crisis

Vietnam will supply Laos with 50 million litres of fuel after Thailand cut exports by 25 percent amid the Middle East conflict.

Lao Minister of Industry and Commerce Malaithong Kommasith sealed the deal on 20 March in Hanoi, meeting his Vietnamese counterpart Le Manh Hung.

The crisis has already forced Laos to cut the school week for higher education institutions to three days, encouraged civil servants to work from home, and triggered emergency measures nationwide.

How the Crisis Unfolded

Thailand suspended all refined oil exports on 1 March, exempting only Laos and Myanmar.

Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul confirmed on 21 March that exports to Laos will continue but have dropped 25 percent, to 5.29 million litres per day. Myanmar now receives 300,000 litres per day, down 20 percent.

Thailand supplies over 97 percent of Laos’ refined fuel. Anutin defended the continued exports by pointing to energy ties with Laos.

As of 11 March, 1,068 of Laos’ 2,538 petrol stations had shut, according to government data.

Vietnam Steps In

Laos moved to find alternatives amidst the ongoing crisis. On 21 March, Vietnam assigned a state fuel company to deliver the 50 million litres directly. Hanoi also agreed to let Laos transit fuel from third countries through Vietnamese territory.

The two ministers also agreed on a broader package. Vietnam will buy more electricity from Laos. Both sides will develop cross-border power infrastructure and build fuel storage facilities and pipelines along the border to cut transport costs.

On trade, both countries are targeting USD 5 to 10 billion in bilateral trade by 2030. Two flagship infrastructure projects on the agenda are the Vientiane–Hanoi expressway and a railway linking Laos to Vietnam’s Vung Ang port.

Thai PM Anutin Reassures Laos of Continued Fuel Supply Amid 25 Percent Cut

Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and Lao Prime Minister Sonexay Siphandone in Vientiane, Laos. 17 October 2025.

Thailand’s Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has reassured Laos that refined oil exports will continue despite the ongoing Middle East conflict, though volumes have been reduced by 25 percent to 5.29 million liters per day.

Thailand suspended all refined oil exports on 1 March following the outbreak of the Middle East crisis, with Laos and Myanmar the only two exceptions. 

The reassurance came following the 19 March meeting of Thailand’s Center for Management and Monitoring of the Middle East Conflict Situation, shortly after Anutin returned from a state visit to Laos accompanying the Thai King and Queen from 16 to 18 March.

Myanmar also continuing to receive 300,000 liters per day, down 20 percent from previous levels.

Anutin justified maintaining exports to Laos by citing mutual energy dependencies. Laos, widely known as the “Battery of Southeast Asia” for its extensive hydropower network, supplies a significant share of Thailand’s electricity. 

The supply cut carries serious consequences for Laos, which imports all of its refined fuel from abroad, with Thailand accounting for over 97 percent of that supply last year. Laos was also Thailand’s second-largest oil export destination in 2025 by volume, receiving over 210 million liters, or roughly 20 percent of Thailand’s total fuel exports.

Fuel shortages felt across the country

The Ministry of Industry and Commerce reported as of 11 March that 1,068 of Laos’ 2,538 petrol stations nationwide had closed, roughly 42 percent, with the transportation, logistics, and agriculture sectors among those most affected. 

The situation in the capital has since been closely monitored: as of 21 March, only 144 of 255 petrol stations in Vientiane Capital remain operational, according to the Vientiane Capital Department of Industry and Commerce.

The Lao government issued a notice on 20 March reducing in-person teaching days at colleges and universities from five to three days per week to curb fuel consumption, while general schools continue operating normally on a five-day schedule.

  • Selling and marketing expenses were approximately $0.4 million, representing an increase of 531.7% from $0.07 million in the prior year, primarily due to the Company’s business transformation.

  • General and administrative expenses were approximately $3.3 million, representing an increase of 61.8% from $2.1 million in the prior year.

The warrant issuance to Mr. David Lazar, a former director and officer of the Company, accounted for approximately $1.0 million in warrant expenses in the third quarter of 2025, representing over 84.3% of the total increase in general and administrative expenses in 2025.

HONG KONG, March 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Ten Pao Group Holdings Limited(’Ten Pao’ or ‘the Company’, together with the subsidiaries as the Group’, Stock code: 1979.HK ), an industry-leading intelligent power supply solutions provider, is pleased to announce its annual results for the year ended 31 December 2025 (“the Year”).

Financial Review

Looking back at 2025, intensifying macroeconomic uncertainties, rising geopolitical risks, fluctuating trade policies, and growing volatility of raw material prices have all exerted notable pressure on business operations worldwide. Despite the cautious market sentiment, Ten Pao, as an industry-leading intelligent power supply solutions provider, was able to maintain stable volume of orders throughout the year, thanks to its established customer base, comprehensive product portfolio, and agile global footprint. In particular, its high-technology and high-value-added products continued to be well received by the market. While the demand for industrial power supply products saw a rebound, the smart controller business also achieved satisfactory growth, with customers placing growing emphasis on supply chain stability and one-stop services. The Group also proactively expanded into green energy products, high-end smart controllers and intelligent equipment, laying a solid foundation for sustainable business development.

Leveraging its solid operational foundation and forward-looking strategies, the Group maintained stable business performance during the Year. Overall revenue increased by approximately 3.2% year-on-year to HK$5,558.6 million (2024: HK$5,385.7 million). Due to intensified competition in the electronics industry and rising raw material costs, the gross profit margin, even after taking into account the Group’s supply chain advantages, slightly declined by 1.3 percentage points to 18.2% (2024: 19.5%). Despite operating at a healthy level, this has led to a decrease in gross profit of approximately 3.5% year-on-year, reaching HK$1,011.6 million (2024: HK$1,048.2 million). As a result of stringent cost control, operating profit for the Year increased by 1.3% to HK$424.0 million (2024: HK$418.6 million). Overall, profit for the year remained largely stable, amounted to HK$380.4 million (2024: HK$383.6 million), with basic earnings per share reaching HK36.9 cents (2024: HK37.3 cents).

The Group is committed to maintaining a stable dividend policy to reward shareholders for their long-term support. In view of its resilient performance during the Year, the Board recommended a final dividend of HK6.6 cents per ordinary share for the year ended 31 December 2025 (2024: HK6.0 cents per ordinary share), with an option provided to the Company’s shareholders to receive new and fully paid shares in lieu of cash, in whole or in part, under a scrip dividend scheme. Together with the interim dividend of HK6.2 cents per ordinary share paid for the six months ended 30 June 2025 (2024: HK5.2 cents per ordinary share), total dividends for the Year reach HK12.8 cents per ordinary share (2024: HK11.2 cents per ordinary share), representing a payout ratio of 34.7% (2024: 30.0%).

During the Year, the industrial power supply segment (smart chargers and controllers) remained Group’s key business segment, with revenue increasing by 7.4% year-on-year to HK$2,158.8 million (2024: HK$2,009.6 million), accounting for 38.8% of the Group’s total revenue (2024: 37.3%). In terms of product portfolio, the Group continued to increase R&D investment in high-value-added, high-technical, and high-entry-barrier products, successfully launching a new series of high-power supply products with output ranging from 3,500W to 10,000W. These products can effectively meet the stringent stability and performance requirements of the next generation AI hardware, and can be widely used in high-performance computing (“HPC”) scenarios, such as cloud computing data centers, supercomputing/HPC systems, and enterprise-level servers. Riding on its global supply chain network, the Group was also able to respond to tariff challenges by actively strengthening its relationships with existing Fortune Global 500 customers, effectively fulfilling customer demand for high-end industrial power supplies, and in turn, driving segment growth.

The consumer power supply segment (telecommunication, media and entertainment, lighting and others) remained generally stable during the Year, with segment revenue increasing slightly by 5.5% year-on-year to HK$2,457.1 million (2024: HK$2,328.0 million), accounting for 44.2% of total revenue (2024: 43.2%). From an application perspective, the media and entertainment and lighting sub-segments delivered solid performance, with revenue increasing by 56.3% year-on-year to HK$465.9 million and 14.6% year-on-year to HK$418.6 million, respectively, effectively offsetting the negative impact of weaker demand in the telecommunication business. As a result of the diverging underlying performance, the change in revenue mix as compared to the year ended 31 December 2024 has also led to an expanding segment gross profit margin.

The new energy business segment is another important sector of the Group. During the Year, the Group made strategic adjustments to optimise its existing customer and product mix, targeting customers and products with lower gross profit margins, allowing the Group to achieve a good balance between revenue scale and profitability. Hence, segment revenue declined slightly year-on-year to HK$942.7 million (2024: HK$1,048.2 million), accounting for 17.0% of total revenue (2024: 19.5%). Although competition in the new energy market remains intense, and some projects are still in the ramp-up stage with potentially limited short-term profit contribution, the management believes that these investments are closely aligned with the prevailing market trends, supported by well-thought strategies and strong market demand. The developments are expected to further consolidate the Group’s position in the green power market in Southeast Asia and even globally, serving as a key new growth driver in the future.

While expanding its industrial power supply, new energy, and consumer power supply businesses in an orderly manner, the Group also continued to optimise its global manufacturing network, addressing macro uncertainties and meeting customer needs with its diversified and multi-location manufacturing solutions. In Chinese Mainland, the Group’s new Intelligent Manufacturing Industrial Park in Huizhou commenced full operation in October 2025, becoming the Group’s latest generation of intelligent manufacturing base. Green manufacturing concepts were also incorporated from the planning stage, enabling meaningful reductions in carbon emissions and unit production costs. With the aforesaid planning and execution, the Group was awarded the title of “Green Factory in Guangdong Province” in 2024, as well as officially recognised as a “National Green Factory” in February 2026, paving the way for future collaborations with international customers that prioritise supply chain sustainability.

Beyond Chinese Mainland, the Group has already established production bases in Mexico, Vietnam, and Hungary, essentially forming a complementary network with domestic production facilities. Each plant can configure its production lines and product mixes based on its market positioning, allowing the Group to quickly respond to the increasingly complex and volatile customer demands, amid ongoing shifts in global trade and geopolitical environment. The diversified footprint also allows the Group to flexibly adjust its production schedule, thereby creating cost-effective and reliable product solutions for clients.

Prospect

Looking ahead to 2026, the global economic and industry environment is expected to see lingering impact from multiple uncertainties, including inflation, geopolitical changes, and trade disputes. In particular, China’s manufacturing sector is facing a challenging landscape where “short-term contracts and long-term opportunities coexistence”. While industry chain is concerned about direct

impact such as raw material supply and escalation of logistics costs, they are also striving to capture new development opportunities arising from supply chain restructuring and market transformation.

As geopolitical dynamics continue to swing and the market accelerates its shift towards leading enterprises, this may also prompt companies to seek more secure supply chains. Elevated oil prices have also fully highlighted the economic benefits of new energy. Against the backdrop of accelerating global energy transition, leading Chinese industry players are seeing favourable growth opportunities, supported by policy support, technological upgrades, and the expansion of application scenarios. The Group’s three major segments – industrial power supply, new energy business, and consumer power supply — are also expected to enjoy long-term and sustainable growth.

In view of the prevailing trends, the Group will focus on enhancing the energy efficiency, system adaptability, and integration capabilities of its smart controllers. Building on its existing strengths in power control and modular design, the Group will further expand its high-end smart controller business, thereby reinforcing its leading position in the industrial power supply market. With the global energy transition and the introduction of green low-carbon policies, the “oil-to-electricity” and electric mobility markets are also entering a phase of rapid growth. In the face of diverse green travel scenarios, the Group will further enhance its production efficiency, reduce energy consumption and carbon intensity, and take concrete actions to contribute to the sustainable development of a low-carbon society.

In the long term, by leveraging its accumulated technological expertise and industry experience, the Group will strive to promote the modular development of its technological inventories. This approach will enable more efficient product upgrades with lower investments, allowing the Group to further enhance its intelligence capabilities and market competitiveness while tapping into new application scenarios. Beyond product portfolio development, the Group will also actively explore opportunities in emerging markets, such as the Belt and Road Initiative regions and Southeast Asia, diversifying its business coverage to mitigate the potential impact of the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (carbon tax).

The Group will also actively respond to the national policy direction of developing “new quality productive forces” by continuously increasing R&D and investment in high-efficiency power supplies, smart controllers, and automated manufacturing. The Group will strive to integrate further AI application technologies and production equipment into its existing production, while advancing the full operation of Huizhou Intelligent Manufacturing Industrial Park. Supported by the Group’s multi-location production footprint, the Group believes it will be able to flexibly meet the needs of customers across different regions, providing reliable products and services at a more competitive cost.

As the Group completes its global footprint, future capital expenditure is also expected to decline progressively, which in turn, would support strong cash flow performance and create sufficient cash reserves to cope with external uncertainties. The Group will also prioritise shareholders’ return by improving long-term operational efficiency, strengthening capital management, and implementing policies such as share buybacks or dividend distributions at appropriate times.

Golf Season Begins: MILESEEY Launches Limited-Edition Colorful GeneSonic Pro GPS Speaker Lineup for 2026

New color variants and smart audio modes redefine modern golf etiquette on the green

CITY OF INDUSTRY, Calif., March 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As the Northern Hemisphere tees off into the 2026 golf season, MILESEEY Golf is introducing an expansion of its GeneSonic Pro GPS Speaker — combining performance technology with vibrant new colorways designed for today’s golfer.

Golf in 2026 remains rooted in technology and data-driven performance. But alongside that evolution comes a renewed conversation about course culture: how modern golfers navigate music, focus, and social dynamics across every type of round.

Adapting to Every Round with Thoughtful Design

MILESEEY Golf’s answer to modern green etiquette is flexibility. The GeneSonic Pro GPS Speaker is engineered around three distinct audio settings that allow golfers to read the room and adapt accordingly:

  • Turn it up for casual rounds with friends, practice sessions, and any situation where music enhances the experience.
  • Keep it low for mixed groups seeking subtle background music that supports mental clarity without disruption.
  • Detach the GPS for use as a purpose-built device for tournaments, rounds with traditionalists, or any setting where silence is expected.

In addition to these situational modes, the GeneSonic Pro offers three music environment settings: Golf, Home, and Party. The three modes make it equally at home on the fairway, the practice range, or beyond.

Unlike phone speakers or earbuds, the Mileseey GeneSonic Pro delivers clear, full-range audio while keeping golfers aware of their surroundings. Integrated GPS distance tracking supports both tempo training and distance control in a single device — no compromises required.

Built to last, the 65-piece set is crafted from rugged Cr-V industrial-grade alloy steel, giving homeowners more confidence when tackling stubborn bolts, garage fixes, and routine auto repairs. Its hexagonal drive design helps reduce pressure on fasteners during impact, helping minimize wear while lowering the risk of rounding or stripping bolts. Laser-etched and rolled size markings also make it easier to find the right socket quickly, even in low-light conditions.

The set includes both deep and standard sockets in SAE and metric sizes, along with extension bars, adapters, and a 72-tooth ratchet wrench. Packed in a portable plastic toolbox, it gives users a practical way to stay organized while moving between repair jobs.

Whether it is tightening hardware in the garage, handling auto maintenance, or tackling routine fixes around the house, that kind of range makes the socket set a practical starting point for homeowners.

A Faster Way to Refresh Walls, Furniture, and Fences

Painting is one of the most direct ways to make a home look newer, cleaner, and better maintained. The VEVOR Stand Airless Paint Sprayer is designed to help homeowners handle medium to large painting projects more efficiently.

Powered by a 750W motor, the sprayer can deliver up to 3000 psi with a maximum flow rate of 1.2 liters per minute. According to VEVOR, it is up to five times faster than rolling and 12 times faster than brushing. Fan-shaped atomization technology is designed to support a fine, even painting effect while helping reduce clogs, leaks, and unnecessary paint waste.

The detachable pump body makes cleaning easier, while the included extension pole helps users reach higher or lower areas with less bending or climbing. Infinite speed control also allows users to adjust output based on different materials, coating thickness, and project requirements.

That added efficiency becomes especially useful when one refresh project leads to another — from walls and fences to furniture and other surfaces that help a home look more polished overall.

One Solution That Covers More of the Yard

Outdoor upkeep often involves more than one kind of work. Hedges need trimming, branches need cutting, weeds need clearing, and lawn edges need attention. The VEVOR Multi-Functional Trimming Tools is built for homeowners who want one machine to handle more of those outdoor tasks.

Featuring a 52CC two-stroke engine and speeds up to 8500 RPM, the tool is designed for efficient trimming across shrubs, branches, hedges, and other landscaping needs. The blade speed can reach 6500 RPM, while the 270-degree rotating head supports trimming from multiple angles. On a full tank, it can run for nearly 40 minutes, helping reduce interruptions from frequent refueling.

Its 6-in-1 setup includes a hedge trimmer, pruner, pole saw/chain saw, brush cutter, metal blade, and trimmer head. The package also includes accessories such as gloves, ear protectors, a storage bag, shoulder straps, and multiple working heads, giving users a more flexible setup for seasonal yard maintenance.

That versatility is echoed in customer feedback. As one VEVOR customer put it, “We’re more than happy with this trimmer. It does everything we need around the yard, from clearing the fence line to cutting small trees and weed-eating the entire yard. It’s heavy-duty, and the different heads are easy to swap out for different jobs.”

After indoor repairs and painting, that kind of all-in-one yard tool helps carry the home refresh outdoors, where overgrown hedges, branches, and fence lines often shape the first impression of the space.
