BOTHELL, Wash., April 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Leviton’s Network Solutions Business Unit today announced that it has completed the $25 million expansion project in its Fuquay-Varina, N.C. manufacturing facility.

Fiber Factory Expansion Ribbon Cutting: Donald Hendler (Chairman of the Board), Karen Berry (Senior Director of Operations, Leviton Fuquay Varina, NC), Daryoush Larizadeh (President and Chief Executive Officer), Ross Goldman (Chief Operating Officer Leviton Network Solutions, Chief Sustainability Officer, Leviton)

The Fuquay-Varina, N.C. site manufactures a wide range of multimode and single-mode cabling products used to connect local area networks in a variety of applications including commercial enterprises, data centers, industrial and harsh environments. The company held a ribbon cutting event on April 9, 2025 to celebrate this milestone achievement with company executives, local government officials, and Leviton’s local employees.

“We are very proud of the work our team did to make this project happen. Leviton’s Network Solutions business unit is the data side of our business and strategic to our future growth and success,” said Daryoush Larizadeh, Leviton’s President and CEO. Larizadeh went on to say; “We expect the demand for fiber optic cabling systems to grow for many years to support bandwidth intensive applications like AI and Augmented Reality. Leviton’s commitment to North Carolina goes back to 1965, and today we have 3 factories including this expanded Fuquay-Varina location. The local government officials supported us every step of the way and the area has a very skilled work force, which is essential for us to be successful.”

“As a global division, this investment is very strategic for us,” said Ross Goldman, Chief Operations Officer, Leviton Network Solutions and Chief Sustainability Officer, Leviton. Goldman went on to say; “Doubling the size of our North Carolina factory not only allows us to support our US based customers with fiber optic cabling solutions for years to come, but we can also more effectively support demand from outside the US as well.”

Blake Massengill, the mayor of Fuquay-Varina, attended the company’s ribbon cutting event and said, “the Town of Fuquay-Varina is grateful for Leviton’s commitment to investing in our region, which will have far-reaching benefits not only for the local economy but also for the state. Leviton is a global company that chose Fuquay-Varina, NC – with its highly skilled workforce and business-friendly environment – as the site to manufacture fiber optic cabling to support IT networks in the US and throughout the world.

Mubadala Energy Enters Major U.S. Upstream Gas and LNG Operation with Kimmeridge

  • Equity investment into Kimmeridge’s SoTex HoldCo marks Mubadala Energy’s U.S. market entry and ambitious expansion strategy 
  • Kimmeridge’s highly scalable upstream gas and LNG business comprises currently producing upstream gas assets and a pre-FID LNG project

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates, NEW YORK and HOUSTON, April 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Mubadala Energy, the Abu Dhabi headquartered international energy company, has today signed an agreement with Kimmeridge, the energy-focused alternative asset manager, to acquire a 24.1% interest in Kimmeridge’s SoTex HoldCo LLC (“SoTex”), via the issuance of new equity.

Mubadala Energy Enters Major U.S. Upstream Gas and LNG Operation with Kimmeridge
Mubadala Energy Enters Major U.S. Upstream Gas and LNG Operation with Kimmeridge

SoTex holds two portfolio companies: Kimmeridge Texas Gas, which operates an upstream unconventional gas business in the Eagle Ford in South Texas, and Commonwealth LNG, which owns the 9.3 million metric tons per year (MTPA) pre-FID LNG liquefaction and export facility strategically located at the mouth of the Calcasieu Pass in Louisiana. Through SoTex, Kimmeridge is building America’s first integrated gas independent to deliver low-cost natural gas from wellhead to water and meet burgeoning demand for responsibly-produced LNG across global markets.

Kimmeridge Texas Gas’ current net production is over 500 MMcfe/d which is expected to grow organically to 1.5 Bcfe/d by 2031, while Commonwealth LNG is finalizing key pre-FID workstreams ahead of taking FID later this year with first offtake from the LNG plant planned for 2029.

Dr Bakheet Al Katheeri, Chairman of the Mubadala Energy Board and Chief Executive Officer, UAE Investments Platform, Mubadala Investment Company, commented: “Through this partnership and our entry into the U.S., we are to further build on our leading role in building energy champions that deepen our position in the global economy. We are delighted that Mubadala Energy has finalized this equity investment with Kimmeridge to enable the development of key gas projects in the U.S. Gulf Coast. As the company’s first major investment in the U.S., this transaction positions Mubadala Energy for accelerated growth across the gas value chain in one of the world’s most important and attractive energy hubs.”

Marking Mubadala Energy’s entry into the U.S. market, this significant equity investment is an important moment in Mubadala Energy’s international expansion. It bolsters the company’s ambitious growth plans to invest across the gas value chain in key energy hubs around the world and acts as a major addition to its existing global gas portfolio. Moreover, with the company’s goal of playing a proactive role in the energy transition by supporting major gas projects as a bridge to a lower carbon energy future, this investment is in line with the UAE’s 2050 net zero ambition.

Commenting on the investment, Mansoor Mohamed Al Hamed, Managing Director and CEO, Mubadala Energy, said: “As our first major investment in the U.S. this transaction offers a significant platform for future growth in one of the world’s most important energy hubs. The investment also highlights our strong position to accelerate our expansion across the gas value chain and build on our strategic international portfolio. We’re excited about the long-term opportunities this partnership offers, in line with our strategy to play a proactive role in the energy transition and grow our global gas portfolio.”

Ben Dell, Managing Partner of Kimmeridge, added: “Mubadala’s investment and unwavering support represent a significant milestone in the realization of our wellhead-to-water strategy, accelerating Commonwealth LNG’s path to Final Investment Decision. We extend our sincere gratitude to the Mubadala Energy team for their invaluable partnership and collaboration as we work together to drive energy innovation and accelerate the transition to a cleaner, more sustainable energy future.”

With U.S. LNG supply expected to grow to approximately 33% of the global market by 2050*, this investment is a strategic play in one of the world’s most important gas hubs. In addition, world class infrastructure and a highly liquid M&A market ensure attractive long-term prospects in the region, supported by energy demand trends in areas such as AI data center development. 

The transaction is subject to customary regulatory filings and approvals before closing.

VinFast launches VF 6 B-SUV and introduces free EV charging program in the Philippines


PASAY, PHILIPPINES – Media OutReach Newswire – 10 April 2025 – At the 2025 Manila International Auto Show (MIAS), VinFast officially launched sales of the VF 6, a fully electric SUV in the popular B-segment, introduced a free charging program available at charging stations operated by V-GREEN, and forged strategic partnerships with reputable Philippine dealerships and banks. These initiatives highlight VinFast’s commitment to accelerating the adoption of green mobility in the country.

Along with the launch of the VF 6, VinFast is offering free charging at its dedicated charging stations until May 1, 2027.
Along with the launch of the VF 6, VinFast is offering free charging at its dedicated charging stations until May 1, 2027.

In the Philippines, the VF 6 is available in two trims: Eco and Plus, with MSRPs of 1,419,000 PHP and 1,610,000 PHP respectively. Deliveries of the VF 6 Eco are expected to begin in May 2025.

To further support consumers in confidently embracing a green lifestyle, VinFast is also introducing an attractive buyback program, offering up to 90% of the vehicle’s original value. This policy applies across the company’s entire product lineup. The company’s growing network of showrooms—strategically located across key urban areas—enhances access to electric vehicles.

Developed in collaboration with the renowned studio Torino Design, the VF 6 features a modern design inspired by the concept of “The Duality in Nature.” This unique style reflects the vehicle’s own spirit and personality, while seamlessly blending with VinFast’s distinctive and unmistakable design language. Its overall dimensions (length x width x height) are 4,241 x 1,834 x 1,580 mm, with a wheelbase of 2,730 mm. Thanks to the advantages of EV architecture, this B-segment vehicle offers an interior space comparable to many C-segment gasoline models.

The VF 6 is equipped with a powerful electric motor delivering up to 150 kW and torque of 250 Nm (Eco) or 310 Nm (Plus). With a range of up to 480 km per full charge (NEDC standard), the VF 6 is well suited for the dynamic needs of modern families. It also includes 20 advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) features and 8 airbags, offering added peace of mind—especially for families with young children.

In terms of aftersales service, the VF 6 comes with one of the most competitive warranties in its class: 7 years or 160,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. In addition to services at VinFast showrooms, the company is collaborating with trusted partners such as Motech and JIGA to develop a nationwide network of 100 authorized service centers by the end of 2025.

The Philippines now hosts nearly the full lineup of VinFast electric vehicles, with the VF 6 joining the VF 3, VF 5, VF 7, and VF 9. Visitors can explore and test drive these models, including the VF 6, at MIAS 2025—one of the country’s premier auto shows. This year marks the event’s 20th anniversary, featuring over 120 brands and more than 30 automotive manufacturers.

Along with the VF 6 launch, VinFast is rolling out a free charging program at its dedicated charging station network, valid until May 1, 2027, providing “zero fuel cost” benefits to customers. Operated by the Global Charging Station Development Company V-GREEN, the network aims to deploy 15,000 charging ports across the country in 2025.

On this occasion, VinFast also announced the signing of memoranda of understanding (MOUs) with two banks—EastWest Bank and BDO—to support the Philippines’ green transition and sustainable growth. These partnerships will focus on developing and offering financial solutions that support VinFast’s green ecosystem, while making it easier for Filipinos to switch to electric mobility.

Pham Sanh Chau, CEO of VinFast Asia, said: “We’re thrilled to launch the VF 6 at one of the Philippines’ most prestigious auto shows and contribute to the strong momentum behind green mobility. With its smart, comfortable, and cost-efficient performance, this model is poised to become an essential part of the modern family’s sustainable lifestyle. We hope it will replicate its segment-leading success in Vietnam and receive the same enthusiastic response as seen in the European market.”

Nguyen Thanh Duong, CEO of V-GREEN, added: “We are proud to partner with VinFast in building a comprehensive and convenient EV ecosystem. Expanding the charging network not only supports customer confidence in choosing VinFast EVs but also strengthens public awareness of electric mobility infrastructure in the Philippines. Together with VinFast and our local partners, we’re working toward a greener and more sustainable transportation future for Filipino communities.”

By continuously expanding its product lineup and developing a comprehensive EV ecosystem—including charging infrastructure, showrooms, and service centers—VinFast reaffirms its long-term commitment to supporting the Philippines in its green transition. The company aims to contribute to the country’s sustainable future through the “For a Green Future” model already proven successful in Vietnam, delivering a seamless experience to local consumers.
