Breakthrough yield and device performance at high volume show team can scale company’s large-format advanced packaging for customers’ cutting-edge applications

SINGAPORE, Oct. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ —  Silicon Box, a global leader in chiplet integration and advanced semiconductor packaging, announced it has shipped 100-million-units from its flagship factory in Singapore’s Tampines Wafer Park. The state-of-the-art facility, which began mass production in late 2023, produces advanced panel-level packaging (PLP) exclusively and is the largest of its kind globally in terms of production capacity. Silicon Box’s proprietary technology is able to support chiplet integration by addressing challenges in performance, scalability and costs in wafer-level and traditional packaging schemes.

“Achieving breakthrough results in production at high volume is a significant milestone for Silicon Box, as well as for transitioning the industry towards more scalable and low-cost design and manufacturing schemes – such as panel-level packaging and chiplet adoption – especially to meet the growing demand for larger, more powerful devices for future technologies,” said Mike Han, Head of Business at Silicon Box.

“This achievement would not have been possible without our team’s proven track record in R&D and execution, as well as our close collaboration with customers, which allowed us to challenge conventional methods and deliver cutting-edge solutions at low cost and high performance, at scale.”

Record Breaking Yield and Factory Progress

One of the more remarkable aspects of Silicon Box’s 100-million-unit shipment milestone, is that the production facility has exceeded co-founder and CEO, Dr. BJ Han, and his technical leadership team’s long term track record for industry leading yield which was 99.7% at wafer scale.

“Silicon Box is proud to announce that this shipment milestone demonstrates our team’s capability to execute advanced panel level packaging at high volume, but more importantly at very high yield,” shared JH Yee, Head of Operations at Silicon Box. “Our founding team in operations and technology, including myself, have been working under Dr. BJ Han’s leadership over multiple decades, at multiple semiconductor packaging companies. We are breaking our own record for production yield at panel scale, right now, while producing millions of units a day. This proves this execution capability always belonged to this team and lives on at Silicon Box.”

The Tampines factory had its grand opening in July 2023, with mass production starting later that year. In 2024, the facility achieved ISO 9001:2015 certification, followed by ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 certifications in 2025. These certifications underscore Silicon Box’s commitment to quality and customer satisfaction, employee well-being and sustainability management, respectively.

Expansion of Manufacturing Capacity on Track

Silicon Box’s 100-million-unit production milestone demonstrates that the company is on track to achieve its capacity and production targets at its flagship facility, with full capacity installation expected by 2028.

Meanwhile, the company’s second manufacturing facility, to be located in Novara, Piedmont, Italy, is expected to begin production in 2028. The planned site which is larger than Singapore is expected to replicate production capacity and bring native test capability to Europe. The new plant will establish a full semiconductor value chain from design to final manufacturing and test, to serve sectors such as artificial intelligence (AI), high-performance computing (HPC), automotive, mobile, Internet of Things, and robotics.

“As the only independent semiconductor packaging company possessing the current capability to enable chiplet architectures with high interconnection density at panel scale in mass production, our collaborations are yielding industry leading results for early customers at a low cost especially in advanced automotive, robotics, high-performance computing and AI applications,” said Mike Han.

“At the same time, the benefits of our solutions and the economics of our large-format manufacturing scheme allow a broader range of customers and device applications to reap the benefits of the most advanced packaging methods. These same customers and applications might find that the cost is prohibitive and capacity hard to come by with other providers.”

“Give Time, Share Hope” campaign transforms dormant watches into tangible support for Geylang East Home for the Aged


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 October 2025 – As Singapore’s population rapidly ages, with nearly 1 in 4 citizens expected to be 65 and above by 2030 according to the Ministry of Health, aged care facilities face mounting pressure with limited resources.

In response, independent luxury watch dealer Watch Exchange has launched “Give Time, Share Hope“, a meaningful charity initiative that transforms dormant luxury timepieces into lifelines for the elderly. The six-month campaign, running from 14 October 2025 to 31 March 2026, aims to raise a minimum of S$100,000 for Geylang East Home for the Aged (GEHA) to fund medical care, facility upgrades, and quality-of-life improvements for seniors in need.

From Drawer to Dignity

Through this campaign, Singaporeans are welcome to donate unused or repairable luxury watches to Watch Exchange. Each watch will be professionally serviced and restored by Watchlab Singapore at no cost to donors or the charity, as Watch Exchange will fully absorb all restoration expenses.

Once refurbished, the timepieces will be sold through Watch Exchange’s established channels, with 100% of proceeds going directly to GEHA. The initiative welcomes watches from leading brands such as Rolex, Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe, and other high-end manufacturers.

“Since 1978, we have been caring for seniors who have no family or place to call home. For many, this is the only home they have,” said Ms Michelle Lim, Deputy Chairman of Geylang East Home for the Aged (GEHA). “As a charitable organization, our resources are limited, yet the needs of our residents continue to grow. This partnership brings timely support and hope to our community.”

Echoing this call, Mr Darren Yeoh, Sales Manager at Watch Exchange, said, “Your old watch could provide meals for dozens of residents, fund essential medical supplies, and bring comfort to our ageing community. By donating a timepiece you no longer wear, you’re helping to restore dignity and care for our elders — people who have given so much of their time to build the society we enjoy today.”

Making a Measurable Impact

Funds raised from the sale of donated watches will go toward:

  • Daily nutritious meals for residents
  • Essential medical equipment and supplies
  • Facility maintenance and improvements
  • Enhanced recreational and care programs
  • Staff training to uplift service standards

As GEHA is a registered Institution of Public Character (IPC), donors may qualify for 2.5 times tax deductions through the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS). Full details are available at https://www.geha.org.sg/donation-information/.

-

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 October 2025 – Professional and business communities from Singapore and Shanghai came together today in a landmark collaboration to deepen ties and empower enterprises in the Asia region.

At the Sino-Singapore Forum for Empowering Enterprise Globalisation and Excellence, four leading professional bodies, the Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA), the Shanghai Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the Law Society of Singapore, and the Shanghai Bar Association, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to chart a new path of partnership between both cities’ professional communities.

Mr Edwin Tong, Minister for Law and Second Minister for Home Affairs of Singapore, and Mr Fuan Kong, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Executive Deputy Director-General, delivered the opening addresses, underscoring the importance of professional collaboration in driving enterprise globalisation.

The forum brought together distinguished representatives from accounting, legal, and business organisations from both Singapore and China. Discussions centred on how cross-border professional synergy can help enterprises navigate regulatory complexities, enhance governance, and accelerate sustainable international growth.

The forum is organised by the Professional Services (PS) Centre, an alliance initiative by eight trade associations and professional membership bodies — the Association of Small & Medium Enterprises, ISCA, the Institute of Valuers and Appraisers, Singapore, the Singapore Business Federation, the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce & Industry, the Singapore Manufacturing Federation, Tax Academy of Singapore and The Law Society of Singapore. The PS Centre aims to serve as a trusted hub for professional services and enable cross-border collaboration, knowledge exchange, and access to specialised talent and resources.

The signing of the MOU during the forum marks a new milestone in Singapore–Shanghai professional collaboration. The agreement establishes a structured framework for cooperation in three key areas:

  1. Mission Trips – Reciprocal business delegations to foster on-the-ground learning and partnerships.
  2. Knowledge-Sharing Sessions – Joint annual seminars, workshops, and roundtables on themes such as cross-border M&A, ESG reporting, and fintech regulation.
  3. Professional Services Centre as a Platform – A strategic bridge to integrate professional services resources between Singapore and China, supporting bilateral exchanges and collaborative ecosystem development.

Mr Fu’an Kong, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Executive Deputy Director-General, remarked: “I am very excited to witness the launch of this four-party MOU platform in Hongqiao. Hongqiao’s unique position as a gateway to international markets makes it an ideal base for deeper connectivity, and we warmly welcome more companies to invest and grow here. This collaboration is a strong signal of our shared commitment to openness, innovation, and building a thriving ecosystem for enterprises on both sides.”

ISCA President Mr Teo Ser Luck said: “Today’s forum marks an important milestone in strengthening the partnership between professional services and businesses in Singapore and China. By bringing together our strengths in accountancy and law, we are not only helping businesses expand confidently into overseas markets, but also building trusted ecosystems that support their long-term success.”

Mr Gu Hongxiang, President of the Shanghai Institute of Certified Public Accountants, said: “SHICPA will strengthen collaboration in three key areas: enhancing professional exchanges to meet cross-border service needs, creating an information-sharing platform for joint seminars and expert cooperation, and building a cross-border service ecosystem through the Sino-Singapore Professional Services Alliance to support enterprises expanding between China, Singapore and ASEAN.”

Ms Lisa Sam, President of The Law Society of Singapore, said: “Cross-border cooperation between lawyers and accountants is increasingly vital in addressing complex business needs. This collaboration with our Shanghai counterparts will provide new opportunities for joint learning and practical solutions that help enterprises navigate the challenges of globalisation.”

Mr Shao Wanquan, President of the Shanghai Bar Association, said: “The Shanghai Bar Association has a long-standing history of cooperation with Singapore’s Ministry of Law and Law Society, yielding remarkable results from lawyer exchange programmes, special membership systems and free trade zone joint ventures. Today, with four associations joining hands to build a service chain via a signed MOU, we are offering full-cycle support for Chinese firms going global as well as Singaporean and ASEAN firms entering China. This marks a new stage of ‘chain integration’ in Shanghai–Singapore professional services cooperation, and together, we will continue to safeguard the global development of enterprises from both countries.”

The forum and the MOU mark the beginning of a structured partnership that will see professionals from both cities meet regularly, exchange insights, and support enterprises in their globalisation journey.

By uniting four leading professional bodies from two of Asia’s most dynamic cities, the collaboration signals a strong commitment: that professional services are not just about compliance, they are strategic enablers of growth, innovation, and cross-border opportunities.

APAC Employee Medical Plan Costs to Stabilise in 2026 After Two Years of Sharp Increase, Aon reports

By
Advertorial Desk
-

  • China, India, Singapore, the Philippines and Vietnam projecting lower increases than previous year
  • Cardiovascular diseases, gastrointestinal conditions and cancer are top medical conditions that are expected to drive the medical plan costs

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 October 2025 – Aon plc (NYSE: AON), a leading global professional services firm, today released its 2026 Global Medical Trend Rates Report, projecting an 11.3 percent rise in Asia Pacific (APAC) employee medical plan costs, signalling stabilisation of medical plan costs after two years of steep increases. The global average medical trend rate is expected to be 9.8 percent. Key APAC markets like China, India, Singapore, the Philippines and Vietnam are forecasting lower medical trend rate increases than in 2025.

Medical trend rates represent the annual percentage increase in medical plan costs per employee, both insured and self-insured. These figures help organisations budget and adapt their benefits strategies to ensure sustainability in a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape.

“The Asia Pacific region continues to face double-digit medical trend rates, reflecting both the resilience of healthcare demand and the need for medical insurers to return to profitability in order to deliver sustainable healthcare coverage,” said Tim Dwyer, head of Human Capital for APAC, Aon. “The challenge and opportunity for employers lies in moving from reactive cost control to proactive health strategy. As employers across the region navigate workforce transformation, building resilient and sustainable employee benefits programs will be critical to managing the wellbeing of their workforces.”

Key Findings for APAC:

  • Around one third of APAC markets — including China, Singapore, the Philippines, Vietnam and India — expect a slight decrease in trend rates, driven by moderated utilisation and wellbeing initiatives.
  • Prescription and specialty medications, innovations in medical technology and geopolitical factors, continue to have a significant impact.
  • The remaining two thirds face upward pressure from chronic disease burden, increased healthcare utilisation and adoption of technological advancements.

Taiwan 1.6 n/a 1.6 8.0
Thailand 1.2 14.3 0.9 14.8
Vietnam 3.4 12.9 2.5 12.2

Conditions Behind the Trend Rate
The leading medical conditions expected to influence costs in 2026 in APAC remain largely consistent with the conditions of 2025.

  • Cardiovascular Disease: Disorders of the heart and blood vessels and high blood pressure continue to be the primary cost driver, with the greatest impact on claims across APAC.
  • Gastrointestinal Conditions: Issues such as gallbladder stones, infections, acute appendicitis, liver diseases and gastroenteritis are rising and now the second most common cost driver in the region.
  • Cancer/Tumor Growth: Cancer remains a top condition globally, with 20 countries –including Australia and Singapore – reporting it as the most impactful. The most frequently diagnosed cancers are lung, breast, colon/rectum, and prostate.

Risk Factors Contributing to the Leading Conditions
Hypertension is both a leading condition and the top risk factor for other costly diseases. Other major risk factors include high cholesterol, physical inactivity, poor nutrition and high blood glucose – all commonly linked to cancer and other chronic conditions.

How Companies Are Responding
Employers in APAC are increasingly adopting flexible benefit plans, cost containment strategies and wellbeing programs to manage rising medical costs. According to Aon’s 2025 Global Benefits Trends Study, 25 percent of companies in APAC are expected to use flexible benefits, with many considering measures such as copays or network restrictions. Wellbeing initiatives targeting physical inactivity, stress, hypertension and high cholesterol are being integrated with prevention strategies to mitigate future claims.

“The medical insurance market is transitioning into a new phase, and businesses must be ready to deploy strategies that will deliver value” said Alan Oates, head of global benefits for APAC at Aon. “Larger employers should analyse their own medical trend which may be falling faster than market averages. Now is the time to use local tendering exercises that will drive market competition as underwriters return to profitability at different rates and continue to invest in preventive wellbeing strategies for sustainable cost management. By leveraging data available externally and internally and partnering with insurers, businesses can better anticipate risks and support a healthier, more productive workforce,” added Oates.

About the Report
The 2026 Global Medical Trend Rates Report is based on insights from over 100 Aon offices that broker, administer or advise on employer-sponsored medical plans. The findings reflect the expectations of Aon professionals based on their interactions with clients and carriers across the region.

Advertorial Desk
-

ZHONGSHAN, China, Oct. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The 33rd Guzhen Lighting Fair will be grandly held from 22 to 25 October, 2025 at the Guzhen Convention and Exhibition Center, Guzhen Town, Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province. As a bellwether for the global lighting industry, this fair is themed on “Guzhen Lights up the World”, linking eight major lighting megastores in Guzhen, bringing together more than 3,600 high-quality enterprises and covering a total exhibition area of over 1.5 million square meters.

The eight exhibition halls of the main venue cover the entire industry chain categories, such as decorative lighting, smart home lighting, residential lighting, commercial lighting, outdoor lighting, special lamps, machinery and equipment, and accessories. It focuses on displaying tens of thousands of “specialized, sophisticated, special and innovative” products and cutting-edge technologies are on display. With new products across the full supply chain are unveiled in a concentrated manner, the industry trend also becomes clear – from a “dual-engine” technological revolution to an upgrade in scene aesthetics, four major trends are redefining the boundaries and value of light.

Trend One: Comprehensive Category Layout to Seize the High Ground of the Industrial Ecology

Conforming to the industry trend of “optimizing the supply chain and fostering new quality productivity,” the fair focuses on displaying popular lighting fixture categories, from LED chip packaging to smart lighting applications, highlighting the structural advantage of the Guzhen Lighting Fair as a “global procurement platform”.

The main venue will feature extended product lines of well-known residential and commercial lighting brands, with a focus on health-oriented products such as dynamic rhythm light, solar spectrum light, and mood-soothing sleep aid light; new product lines in emerging sectors, such as aviation lighting and sports lighting, will be launched for global buyers, showcasing the determination and capability of origin-based brands to transform from traditional lighting into high-tech fields. The Guzhen Lighting Fair highlights the industry’s shift from “cost competition” to “smart value creation”, with greater emphasis on technology integration and ecosystem building.

Trend Two: Dual-Engine Drive, “AI + New Energy” Takes the Center Stage

Under the “dual carbon” goals, the deep integration of new energy lighting and AI intelligence will be a major highlight of the fair. Visitors can enjoy an on-site immersive experience of low-carbon green scenarios combining photovoltaic power, energy storage, and smart control.

The organizer has selected premium brands in promising “blue ocean” categories, introducing two upgraded segments:

  • Smart Fisheries – High-powered LED fish-gathering lights and marine lighting solutions, with an AI big-data system that automatically switches between cyan, blue, and green bio-spectrum according to fish school activity, boosting catch efficiency in real time.
  • Zero-Carbon Landscapes – Solar streetlights, decorative lamps, and garden lights implanted with “light energy recovery + efficient charging” integrated technology, presenting safer and more reliable multi-scenario applications at the main venue.

Trend Three: Original Designs Collide with New Materials to Define New Standards for Artistic Lamps

Personalized consumption and eco-friendly materials are driving artistic lighting towards delivering greater “emotional value”. The Guzhen Lighting Fair embraces this shift, using functional innovation to build strong differentiation barriers, and making aesthetic expression a brand’s most powerful moat.

In response to the strong demand for artistic lamps in Europe, the US, and the “Belt and Road” markets, the decorative lighting section focuses on three main styles – light luxury, Nordic, and modern – with a comprehensive upgrade in materials. For example, aviation-grade aluminum and nano-coating technology are adopted, all-copper materials and hand-blown glass technology is used, aiming at mid-to-high-end overseas markets and securing bestseller orders abroad.

Trend Four: New Application Scenarios Make LED Strips the Centerpiece of Spatial Aesthetics

LED strip exhibitors have long been enhancers of spatial art. At this fair, brands are expanding from basic lighting to to in-depth development of “light effects + function + scenarios”, aligning with the trends of minimalism, no-main-lamp designs, and full-color ambience, promoting the diversification and scenario-based application of LED strips.

Three key on-site highlights previewed ahead:

1. Silicone + 3D-shaped flexible strips – bendable, twistable, and cuttable, perfect for artistic installations and commercial window displays with instant visual impact.

2. Extendable, multi-color low-voltage strips – Equipped with dual charging of solar and Type-C, ideal for camping, emergencies, and car trunks, all in one strip.

3. COB smart strips – Featuring human-sensing linked rhythmic dimming, with brightness and color temperature adapting in real time, suitable for supermarkets, hotels, and homes.

Light up the world from the Lamp Capital. The 33rd Guzhen Lighting Fair is more than a grand gathering of products and technologies – it maps a clear path for China’s lighting industry transformation and upgrading. Leading companies are building their technological barriers, securing global orders through zero-carbon standards and full-solution delivery, while SMEs hone their focus on niche markets to become “hidden champions”. The entire industry is accelerating toward greater intelligence, green development, and branding.
