Canton Fair Connects Global Buyers with Chinese Suppliers for Emerging Trends Like Glamping

GUANGZHOU, China, April 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — At its 137th session, China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair) continues to demonstrate its capacity to respond swiftly to evolving global consumer trends. With its broad product range and competent pool of suppliers, the Fair offers overseas buyers an efficient, one-stop platform to source tailored solutions for emerging lifestyle demands, such as the growing glamping economy in North America and Europe.

Glamping, short for “glamorous camping,” caters to younger generations who value outdoor escapes without compromising comfort. This market is evolving beyond tents and sleeping bags to a large, fancy tent with additional items that blend luxury with nature. Whether for portable appliances or smart outdoor gear, the Canton Fair connects trend-driven buyers with suppliers ready to deliver quality, innovation, and scale.

Guangdong ICECO Enterprise Co., Ltd., a manufacturer that offers a range of camping accessories, including cooler boxes and mobile fridges, believes that its new series of portable fridges and freezers is an ideal option for glamping. “These metal classics freezers reflect both durability and refined aesthetics,” said Rain Xie, Director of the Product Department at ICECO. With dual-zone functionality for cooling and freezing, the products meet the complex needs of today’s outdoor lifestyles. As a long-time participant of Canton Fair, ICECO has leveraged the Fair to expand its global footprint and looks forward to further engagement during Phase 3, which will feature a sports and tourism leisure products zone and present more solutions for glamping business owners.

Zhejiang Sorbo Technology Co., Ltd., known for its diverse portfolio of outdoor electronics, including mosquito-killer lamps and multi-functional camping lights, provides essence elements that help create a peaceful and cozy glamping atmosphere. One of its patented products, a rechargeable fly fan with lamp repellent, speaks directly to the comfort and convenience expectations of glamping enthusiasts who might bothered by mosquitoes and flies outdoors. Its multi-functional repellent camping lantern combines a camping light, mosquito repellent, and charger into a single, easy-to-carry device, making it ideal for late-night campfire chats or early-morning trail preparations. 

Renowned as one of the world’s largest trade fairs, the Canton Fair stands out for its vast exhibit range and the strong manufacturing and customization capabilities of its exhibitor, empowering global buyers to source various products for trend-aligned solutions like those needed in the glamping boom.

Rhenus Group Strengthens LATAM Region as Blu Logistics Rebrands to Rhenus Logistics


MUMBAI, INDIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 24 April 2025 – The Rhenus Group, a global logistics solutions provider, has announced the official rebranding of Blu Logistics LATAM to Rhenus Logistics, following its acquisition in 2023. The rebranding will enhance the Group’s footprint and operational integration across Latin America, as BLU Logistics LATAM will now commercially operate under the Rhenus Logistics name in Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Paraguay, and Uruguay. This transition complements and strengthens Rhenus existing operations in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Mexico, while further expanding its service portfolio with a focus on Air & Ocean and warehousing solutions. The unified brand identity of the two family-owned companies will offer customers greater consistency, connectivity and access to the Groups global standards, capabilities, and service portfolio. Rhenus’ expertise in supporting the India-LATAM trade lane will also play a pivotal role in this milestone.

The rebrand comes amid a period of significant growth across the region. In 2024, the combined operations of Rhenus Logistics LATAM and BLU Logistics LATAM handled over 210,000 TEUs in full container load (FCL) shipments, a 16.67% increase compared to the 180,000 TEUs managed by BLU Logistics LATAM alone in 2023. As a result of its strong positioning and ranking in ocean freight, particularly on the Far East Asia to LATAM trade lane, Rhenus Logistics is recognized as a leading freight forwarder in the region. To continue supporting customer and market demands, the company has expanded its regional footprint with new office openings. Most recently, in March, Rhenus Brazil inaugurated a new branch in Belo Horizonte, strengthening its presence in key logistics hubs throughout the country. LATAM’s growing relevance in global trade is evident through increasing cargo volumes from Asia, India, Europe, and the United States.

“For the Rhenus Group, this rebranding marks a new era in Latin America and reinforces our long-term commitment to the region,” said Tobias Bartz, CEO of the Rhenus Group. “It reflects both our local success and our global ambition. We’ve seen remarkable growth and continue to identify strong opportunities across the region. This rebranding connects the shared identity of two family-owned companies unifying as one. It strengthens our footprint in Latin America and offers our customers greater efficiency, visibility, and the opportunity to grow their business with us, now fully integrated into our global network, portfolio of services and capabilities.”

As India strengthens its role as a global manufacturing and export hub, and Latin America continues to thrive as a source of agriculture, energy and raw materials, trade potential between the regions is accelerating. The India–Latin America trade lane is evolving rapidly, driven by growing demand and sectoral synergies, highlighting the strategic relevance of the company’s expanded presence in Latin America to support key trade flows with India.

“The ongoing collaboration through BRICS — with Brazil and India cooperating — and several free trade agreements between India and various Latin American countries are playing a pivotal role in strengthening this partnership,” said Bhaswar Arya, Joint Managing Director of Rhenus India. “These frameworks are enhancing bilateral engagement, easing market access and creating fertile ground for deeper economic cooperation. We see immense potential across diverse sectors such as pharmaceuticals, automotive, agro-commodities, textiles and technology. Moreover, improved ocean and air connectivity, alongside policy-driven efforts from both regions, is accelerating the momentum of trade.”

With deep roots in both regions and a growing network of integrated services, Rhenus is uniquely positioned to support customers across key India–Latin America trade corridors. As the company continues to expand its global footprint, it remains focused on delivering efficient, customer-centric solutions that unlock new value and drive long-term growth across continents.

Samsung Malaysia Launches 2025 Bespoke AI Appliances for a Smarter, Simpler, and More Secure AI Home

Offering upgraded AI features and intelligent screens that deliver a more intuitive and seamless home experience

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, April 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Samsung Malaysia Electronics today announced the future of home living with the official launch of its 2025 Bespoke AI lineup of home appliances: Bespoke AI Side by Side Refrigerator, Bespoke AI Laundry Top Load and Bespoke AI Jet Ultra. Designed to bring greater ease and intelligence to everyday routines, these appliances feature smart functionalities that adapt to user behaviours, improve energy use and integrate effortlessly into today’s connected lifestyles.

Charles Kim, President of Samsung Malaysia Electronics officially unveiling the latest Bespoke AI Home Appliances lineup.
Charles Kim, President of Samsung Malaysia Electronics officially unveiling the latest Bespoke AI Home Appliances lineup.

“At Samsung, we aim to make everyday living easier through meaningful AI innovation. With our Bespoke AI appliances, we are bringing advanced AI Home to more households, offering intelligent solutions that redefine modern living. Powered by seamless SmartThings connectivity, trusted Knox Security, and natural voice interaction through Bixby, we are transforming how consumers interact with and manage their home appliances,” said Mr. Charles Kim, President of Samsung Malaysia Electronics.

The latest appliances also feature built-in screens and voice control, enabling users to access essential information and manage their home environment anytime, anywhere.

Personalized, Smarter Food Storage: Bespoke AI Side-by-Side Refrigerator
Powered by AI, the 2025 594L Bespoke AI Side-by-Side Refrigerator now features a sleek new design and a 9-inch LCD AI Home screen. This smart display enables seamless communication across all Samsung devices, using voice commands via Bixby. It also supports Multi-Device Experience (MDE), connecting everything from smartphones to home appliances – letting users take calls, play music, and even receive recipe suggestions via SmartThings Food Management. With full control at their fingertips, users can monitor food storage in real time, making grocery shopping smarter and more efficient.

This refrigerator includes thoughtful AI features such as Auto Open Door. Fitted with sensors on both sides, it detects when the user’s hands are full and opens automatically with a light touch or a voice command, eliminating hassle in everyday routines. For energy efficiency, the AI Energy Mode within SmartThings helps reduce power consumption by up to 10%.[1] It constantly tracks energy usage, estimates the monthly electricity bill, and provides smart suggestions to save energy. Once activated, it optimizes the compressor speed and defrost cycle frequency based on real-time environmental conditions. To maintain a fresher, cleaner fridge environment, it also features a built-in UV deodorizer and filter that maintain fresh air circulation and help eliminate odours daily.

Smarter, Quieter, Cleaner: Bespoke AI Laundry Top Load 
To eliminate the hassle of complicated laundry routines, Samsung has introduced AI technology in its 13kg-21kg Bespoke AI™ Top-Load Washer, making laundry easier, more convenient, and effortless. With three key AI functions — AI Wash, AI Energy Mode, and AI Vibration Reduction Technology Plus (VRT+™) — the new washers offer an intelligent, efficient, and quiet washing experience. AI Wash detects fabric type and load weight, adjusting settings like water level, agitation, and wash/rinse times for optimal results. Users can reduce their washer’s energy consumption using SmartThings AI Energy Mode[2]. When selected for certain cycles[3], it intelligently helps reduce energy use by up to 20%[4] through an enhanced algorithm to intelligently cut energy use[5]. Meanwhile, AI VRT+™ technology analyses sensor data to minimize noise and vibration, delivering a quieter laundry experience regardless of the floor type.

The new top loaders feature Ecobubble™ technology for more efficient cleaning with less fabric damage. It combines BubbleStorm™, which dissolves detergent into foam for quicker fabric penetration, and Dual Storm™, which promotes thorough mixing of bubbles and clothes. This system uses up to 25% less energy [6] and up to 13% less water[7], washes 2.5 times faster[8] and provides up to 20% better fabric care[9], reducing wear on clothes.

Compatible with SmartThings, users can remotely monitor and control their laundry. For added peace of mind, the Digital Inverter Motor is covered by a 20-year warranty[10], offering long-lasting durability and reliable performance.

Our Most Powerful Cleaning Performance: Bespoke AI Jet Ultra
Also making its debut is Samsung’s most powerful cordless stick vacuum cleaner, the Bespoke AI Jet Ultra. Delivering powerful suction of up to 400W[11], it effortlessly tackles even the tough cleaning tasks. At its core is the HexaJet Motor, designed with a hexagonal stator structure, a second-stage diffuser, and a thinner impeller for optimized airflow and motor efficiency. The motor also allows for up to 100 minutes of cleaning on a single charge in Min mode, making it ideal for cleaning the entire home in one session.

Equipped with the upgraded AI Cleaning Mode 2.0, the vacuum detects brush load and air pressure, automatically optimizing performance across six cleaning environments. Whether using the Active Dual Brush or Slim LED Brush+, it delivers Mid Mode-level performance while reducing battery usage and enhancing maneuverability.[12] The vacuum’s Multi-layered Filtration System captures fine dust with 99.999% efficiency[13]. Its HEPA filtration technology traps particles as small as 0.3µm, helping to prevent dust from being released back into the air.

Built-in Wi-Fi and SmartThings connectivity allow users to monitor vacuum performance remotely, while the onboard LCD screen displays alerts, battery status, and even call notifications—enhancing convenience during cleaning.

Reliable Experiences with Enhanced Knox Security
Backed by Samsung’s trusted security technology, the latest lineup features Samsung Knox, which protects user data with multi-layered security—enabling a reliable smart home experience with greater peace of mind. Knox Vault also makes its debut in home appliances, securely storing sensitive data such as passwords in a dedicated hardware chip.

To further safeguard against potential future quantum attacks, Samsung has incorporated Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) into Knox Matrix Credential Sync for screen-equipped products. Additionally, Samsung is enhancing product maintenance with SmartThings Home Care, which uses AI to monitor the status of appliances and sends notifications when issues are detected. Technical support representatives can also provide remote assistance based on pre-diagnosis results.

  • SolarX 4K Charge Controller – Connects 500V/4,000W large solar arrays.

Smart Backup Power for Modern Homes

Whether for emergency preparation or whole-home backup, the Apex 300 grows with users’ needs. With up to three units and 18 B300K batteries, it scales up to 11.52kW output and 58kWh capacity, enough to run a home for a week.

Compatible with existing rooftop solar via the SolarX 4K, it takes in 4,000W solar, paying for itself in 2 years. And it helps homeowners to significantly reduce energy costs with 19.2kW solar charging in a parallel system.

Reliable Power for RV and Off-Grid Living

The Apex 300 caters to off-grid lifestyles too. It has 4 AC outlets to power A/Cs, microwaves, coffee makers, and other outdoor essentials.

To charge phones, laptops, and other DC devices, RVers can add the Hub D1 for extra USB, DC5521, and a 12V/50A Anderson port.

Recharging off the grid is just as effortless, via gas generators, solar panels, or vehicles with the Charger 1.
