BODY ARMOR PLATES MARKET SIZE IS ESTIMATED TO REACH $2.5 BILLION BY 2027 | CAGR 5.2% | GRAND VIEW RESEARCH, INC.

March 3, 2022 (Global News Distribution) -

According to a new report published by Grand View Research, the rising demand for armor suits from defense and law enforcement agencies worldwide increases the body armor plate market’s growth.

The global body armor plates market size is expected to reach USD 2.5 billion by 2027, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to register a CAGR of 5.2% from 2020 to 2027. The rising demand for armor suits from defense and law enforcement agencies worldwide increases the body armor plate market’s growth. Also, emerging economies, such as India and China, are increasingly focusing on replacing legacy military equipment and increasing their defense budget. For instance, in May 2020, China hiked its defense budget to USD 179.0 billion compared to USD 177.6 billion in 2019.

However, it has been the lowest hike in recent years due to the significant economic disruption caused by the novel coronavirus outbreak. Further, cross-border conflicts and rivalries are key forces for a surge in demand for plates and shields. For instance, in February 2020, the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), an Armed force of China, the PLA has held open tenders to procure 467,000 units of protection shields for enhanced bulletproof vests and 930,000 units of protection shields for universal bulletproof vests. The PLA has decided to procure protection armors in the wake of cross border conflicts with neighboring countries.

Further, the rising crime and riot instances in the civil part of society worldwide increase the need for personal security and safety among residents. Thus, the demand for protection plates increases, especially among people residing in crime-prone areas, jewelry store owners, embassy personnel overseas, and executive protection personnel. Moreover, in the past few years, several schools across the U.S. have been impacted by shootings. The incidents have led to the deaths of many faculty members and students. With rising concerns for students’ and faculty members’ safety, various proposals have been made to use body armor for both the students and faculty members. For instance, bulletproof backpacks have been tested in the global market for use by students.

In recent years, the market witnessed a surge in demand for body armor plates due to their advanced lightweight feature, which gives comfort and flexibility to the body with the highest protection capability level. The new feature is garnering demand from a different wing of armed forces. For instance, in November 2018, the U.S. Marine Corps released a request for proposals from defense firms for new lightweight body armor plates. The Marine Corps was looking for protection plates around 38.0% lighter than the plates in use at that time. Moreover, it was looking to procuring a minimum of 60,000 and a maximum of 680,706 lightweight plates. The escalating need to ensure soldiers and military personnel’s safety is leading to a large-scale procurement of body armor plates worldwide as well.

UAE Becomes World’s Largest Rough Diamond Trading Hub as Industry Convenes for Dubai Diamond Conference 2022

February 21, 2022 (Global News Distribution) -

DMCC – the world’s flagship Free Zone and Government of Dubai Authority on commodities trade and enterprise – today hosted its flagship Dubai Diamond Conference (DDC) held under the theme “The Future of Diamonds”.

DMCC– the world’s flagship Free Zone and Government of Dubai Authority on commodities trade and enterprise – today hosted its flagship Dubai Diamond Conference (DDC) held under the theme “The Future of Diamonds”.

In his opening remarks, Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, DMCC, announced that the UAE reached the top spot globally as a rough diamond hub, trading over USD 22.8 billion worth of rough diamonds in 2021. The country’s polished segment continues to grow at pace, closing in on the current market leader.

Since 2015, the UAE has increased its rough diamonds trade by 76%, overtaking Belgium as the world’s leading rough trade hub. The total diamond trade in the UAE grew by 83% between 2020 and 2021, demonstrating both the industry’s resilience and Dubai’s critical role in the global sector. Dubai boasts direct flights to other diamond hubs across the world, including mining countries in Africa and manufacturing centres in India, resulting in a connected supply chain with Dubai at its centre. Additionally, Dubai is home to the two Kimberly Process (KP) offices in the UAE, making the emirate the only entry point for rough diamonds in the country.

Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, DMCC, and Chairman, Dubai Diamond Exchange, said: “I am humbled to share that in 2021, Dubai, UAE, became the number one rough diamond trading hub in the world. With $22.8 billion in trade last year, we are continuing to grow thanks to the trust and support received from so many of our guests here today – we accomplished this together. This major milestone clearly demonstrates the determination of both Dubai and DMCC in advancing the global industry. Having grown to become the rough diamond capital of the world, we understand the importance of listening to the market, adapting, and taking action – which is why the Dubai Diamond Conference is such a critical event for the sector. Through this same method, we will continue to work towards becoming the capital for polished diamonds as well.”

The fifth edition of the conference convened 550 government officials, trade association members, and leaders of businesses across the supply chain – from miners and manufacturers to financiers and retailers. This year’s DDC featured speakers including HE Dr Diamantino Azevedo, Minister of Mineral Resources, Petroleum and Gas, Republic of Angola; Bruce Cleaver, CEO of De Beers; Sergey Ivanov, CEO of ALROSA; Yoram Dvash, President of the World Federation of Diamond Bourses; and Ronnie van der Linden, President of the International Diamond Manufacturers Association.

Seeking to encourage dialogue on the most critical challenges and growth opportunities in the industry, the DDC offered attendees a busy agenda that included four main panels titled: “Why did diamonds do so well during COVID?”, “The New Consumer and Changing Demands”, “Rethinking the Diamond Supply Chain” and “Perspectives from the trade associations”.

In line with its mandate to attract, facilitate and drive new trade flows through Dubai, DMCC has played a vital role in establishing the emirate as a leading global hub for the diamond trade. DMCC’s Dubai Diamond Exchange is the largest diamond tender facility in the world and home to over 1,100 diamond companies, providing members and industry professionals with state-of-the-art infrastructure, facilities, and services to trade with confidence.

Assent Aeronautics Places $200 Million+ in Aircraft Transactions, Taps Jake Banglesdorf to Lead Transaction & Advisory Business Unit & Reports Annual Results

December 6, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

Private Aircraft Auction House and industry-leading aircraft brokerage firm Assent Aeronautics created a new way to buy and sell aircraft in 2019 with the launch of the Assent Live Private Aircraft Auction Series. In 2020, Assent pivoted to bring the auctions online amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and saw $180MM+ in aircraft cross the auction block. In 2021, Assent built upon that foundation to realize over $200MM+ in aircraft transactions across live private aircraft auctions, traditional aircraft brokerage, and a transformational aviation lease management practice.

Highlights of ASSENT Aeronautics 2021 Results:

  • 50 + Aircraft Transacted Including Sales and Lease Placements
  • $250MM + in Aircraft Value Transacted
  • Assent Ends Year as a Top Ten Aircraft Broker, Globally, for the Second Year in a Row by Volume
  • 12% of Transactions Include International Buyers
  • Assent Extends Leasing and Support Programs to Bizliner Airframes, including CRJs, BBJs, and ACJs
  • 20 + Aircraft Join Assent’s Aviation Lease Management Practice including Citation Xs, BBJs, Challengers, & Gulfstreams
  • 12 + Currently Available BizJets for Lease and Delivery in 2022 for which Assent is Actively Accepting LOIs
  • 1 Billion + Impressions Generated Across All Marketing Channels
  • No. 1 – Straight and Level, the TV Series Produced by Assent Media + Entertainment, is the No. 1 Watched Non-Fiction Aviation Show on Television.
  • 1.4MM + Weekly Total Viewership of Straight and Level Across All Distribution Platforms

While demand for private travel seesawed from historic lows to historic highs within a 12-month period, Assent was successful in adapting to industry and client demands. In the middle of a global pandemic, the Assent Live Private Aircraft Auction Series delivered results with over $180MM in aircraft crossing the auction block. Now on the other side of the trough, nationwide charter operators are struggling to deliver, facing unprecedented demand, with some operators even dozens of aircraft short with an avalanche of holiday travel looming. Assent once again delivered by successfully launching a best-of-breed aviation lease management practice to place lease fleet and leaseback aircraft with industry-leading FAA Part 135 Operators. Assent’s lease management practice focuses on King Air 350, Citation X, Challenger, Gulfstream, and BizLiner airframes.

Hulsey Smith, Founder, and President of Assent Aeronautics. “Our research, analysis, and industry intelligence all point to the continuation of 30%+ growth in demand through 2022. In the near-term, demand will undoubtedly continue to outstrip supply, giving way to higher charter rates, increasing lease rates, and unprecedented asset appreciation.”

Assent Aeronautics has also tapped current AVP Jake Banglesdorf to serve as Executive Vice President of Assent’s aircraft transaction and advisory business unit. Jake, individually, ended both 2020 and 2021 as a top-5 aircraft broker under 40 by volume globally.

He is charged with scaling all three components of the business unit and adding brokers to meet increasing demand. “I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity and the trust that Hulsey and the Smith Family has put in me to lead this team and grow this business unit. They have given me all of the tools needed to be successful, including access to growth capital and the ability to add seasoned aircraft brokers to our roaster.” Said Jake Banglesdorf, newly appointed Executive Vice President of Assent Aeronautics. “Beyond organic growth, as we look to 2022 we are considering accretive M&A opportunities as well.”

NY Real Estate Experts Zoom in on Brooklyn

March 16, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

Top Brooklyn real estate producers weighed in on the borough’s residential market, noting record-high sales and what’s driving the surge at a virtual panel March 11 hosted by the Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors, Inc. (HGAR) and OneKey™ MLS.

Hundreds of industry professionals tuned in for “Getting the Deal Done: The New Brooklyn – Inner Intel on NYC’s Booming Borough,” which featured Christine Blackburn, licensed associate real estate broker, Barak/Blackburn Team, Compass; Itzy Garay, licensed associate real estate broker, Senior Executive Vice President and Managing Director of Sales/Brooklyn, Brown Harris Stevens; and Ravi Kantha, Partner and Director of Brooklyn Sales, Lesser Kantha Team, Leslie J. Garfield & Co.

“Brooklyn is definitely a market to watch,” said Richard Haggerty, CEO of HGAR and President and Chief Strategic Growth Officer of OneKey™ MLS, the regional multiple listing service for New York. “We’re so pleased to have such a knowledgeable panel here to share strategies for how Realtors can leverage the current dynamics and stay on top of their game.”

The discussion was moderated by Brian D. Tormey, NTP, president of TitleVest, a leading New York City-based provider of title insurance and related real estate services. The hour-long session focused on how Brooklyn is well-positioned to meet a growing demand for larger spaces, outdoor access and proximity to quality dining and entertainment.

“Brooklyn has really established itself as a destination of choice,” said Garay. “People no longer view Brooklyn as an alternative to Manhattan; they are choosing to put down roots here because of the incredible housing stock, sense of community, distinctive neighborhoods and unique energy.”

The panel cited Brooklyn’s abundance of townhouses and brownstones, venues such as BAM and Barclays, alternative types of transportation and neighborhood developments at Brooklyn Bridge Park, Domino Park and Brooklyn Navy Yard.

“The momentum in Brooklyn keeps building up,” said Blackburn. “We’re seeing more businesses here, a lot of technology companies, particularly in Northern Brooklyn, fashion entrepreneurs. And in the Navy Yard, there’s a lot of new and innovative businesses and their employees want to be close by, owning something where they can walk to work.”

Kantha pointed to the increased level of interest in high-end properties, in excess of $10 million. “Some of these buyers I would never have expected to see in Brooklyn- buyers from Manhattan, who could really buy anywhere. Some is due to Covid, some from the gradual ascension of pricing. But it’s the psychological factor, that feeling you get when you step into a neighborhood here – relaxing, quiet, beautiful, clean – that quality of life makes an impact.”

“Getting the Deal Done” is part of the “Be Your Best” webinar series created by HGAR and OneKey™ MLS, to help Realtors and agents navigate the changing landscape amid the pandemic. The event was sponsored by TitleVest.

About OneKey™ MLS

OneKey™ MLS has 44,000-plus subscribers and serves Manhattan, Westchester, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, Orange, Nassau, Suffolk, Queens, Brooklyn, and the Bronx. It was formed in 2018 by the Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors® and the Long Island Board of Realtors®.

New Women-Owned Mask Technology Business Has Reusable Mask Solution to Reopen Economy

March 15, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

CEOCFO Magazine interviews Unicorn Breathing Mask Founder Kimberly Sky on their ASTM F3502 Level 2 Compliant Organic Face Masks

CEOCFO Magazine, an independent business and investor publication that highlights important technologies and companies, today announced an interview with Kimberly Sky, Founder of Unicorn Breathing Mask, a Los Angeles, CA Women-Owned Mask Technology Company.

Kimberly Sky, Founder, Unicorn Breathing Mask

The biggest vision is to create the healthiest, most sustainable and highest protection non-medical reusable breathing mask in the world.”— Kimberly Sky

(https://www.ceocfointerviews.com/unicornbreathingmask21.html)

“The biggest vision is to create the healthiest, most sustainable and highest protection non-medical reusable breathing mask in the world,” said Ms. Sky during the interview with CEOCFO’s Senior Editor Lynn Fosse. Continuing her thoughts on why she started Unicorn Breathing Mask, Ms. Sky said, “What a lot of people don’t know is these disposable masks must be disposed of the moment the material gets damp from breathing or talking, not to mention eating or drinking a beverage and then putting the mask back on, otherwise you are risking a bacterial infection. I was also seeing many frontline workers develop painful breathing conditions such as pleurisy from wearing synthetic mask materials up to 8hrs/day, 5-7 days/week. These disposable masks are going into our landfills and oceans at an alarming rate. The 1-2 ply cloth masks with zero protection were also not going to do the trick in protecting one from spreading or getting covid. I knew we had to solve this problem, and that is what I set out to do.”

In the interview, Ms. Sky explained how the Unicorn mask is different from others on the market, “The Unicorn mask is made with sustainable and/or organic fabrics, and none of the fabrics come from China, Vietnam or South Korea. This came about after doing some deeper research into China and learning how they douse all of their fabrics in heavy carcinogenic chemicals. I did not want a single fabric for my mask, not even certified organic, coming from China. All my fabrics are sourced by our in-house Italian designers, and country of origin and how the fabrics are produced is of top concern. I want my masks safe for children ages 3 years and up and our vulnerable seniors.”

Ms. Sky continued, “What you end up with is a mask that allows you to breathe pure. The fabric touching your skin is unbleached/undyed 100% Certified Organic high thread count raw cotton. Each wafer-thin, incredibly lightweight filter is composed of proprietary sonic electrospun nanotechnology with fifteen miles of nanofiber matrix thousands of times thinner than a human hair. The filters are completely safe, highly breathable, and have a protection rating of 99% efficiency all the way down to the virulent particle size of 0.1 microns. Then you have the fashion-forward exterior layer with many practical design options to choose from. The Unicorn mask has a well-designed three-ply construction, meeting the new CDC recommendation. It is also ASTM F3502 Level 2 Compliant for particle efficiency and we are in the process of testing for Level 2 Breathability.”

As to how their Unicorn Breathing Mask helps fight bacteria, Ms. Sky said, “Our Milano designer created a unique construction that allows the mask to protrude slightly so you aren’t sucking in the fabric when talking, in fact your mouth isn’t even hitting the fabric at all, which helps prevent bacterial infections. In this way you don’t have to wash the mask as much if you are just running into the store, because it isn’t touching your mouth constantly. It’s also good if you are grabbing a coffee and don’t want to get espresso on your mask or even lipstick for women. The filters are good for up to 200hrs and each mask comes with 400hrs of protection.”

Asked why Unicorn Breathing Mask is an important company, Ms. Sky told CEOCFO, ” It is important because it is women-owned, made in the yoga capital of the world in Ubud, Bali, featuring the latest in mask innovation that actually filters down to the virus particle size of 0.1 microns with 99% efficiency. We deeply care, and put tremendous love in everything we do. We have Balinese craftswomen who are making these masks by hand for you with love, ensuring that every detail is accounted for, and that the quality is always going to be consistent. Our sewers wear our masks while making them and are experienced seamstresses. We have had many repeat customers tell us the quality has never changed and is exactly what they have come to expect from us every time they purchase. We are never going to sell out and move production to China, Vietnam or South Korea. That’s a promise!”

Further explaining their mission Ms. Sky shared, “Team Unicorn cares and we truly have a mission to help people. We are not in this for the money, and have never used the pandemic to line our pockets like some of the big boys. We are in it for community, unity, solutions to the problems facing us and our environment. We are in this for the long-haul because viruses are here to stay. We want to be prepared for future problems that happen, including yearly natural disasters, and future coronavirus variants. We don’t want to be reliant upon a vaccine that some variants could bypass. This is a long game for us. We are motivated and excited to educate as many people as possible about wearing organic and supporting sustainable, women-owned businesses. From here, we plan to open up an apparel line offering beautiful hats, conscious t-shirts with empowering messages, and expanding our eco-friendly line of Unicorn products. We want to Unite the Unicorns all around the world who care like we do, and are devoted to being a part of the solution.”

“As a biomedical engineer scientist with focused research on nanotechnology for regenerative and translational medicine, I endorse the use of nanotechnology utilized by Unicorn Breathing Mask, specifically with the use of electrospinning nanofiber polymers to filter out particulates down to the 0.1 um dimension. This is crucial when providing effective filters for a breathable face mask as a barrier towards viruses like that of the coronavirus. This mask is capable of protecting one from viral particulates exposure due to its robust electrospun nanofiber innovation and recommended 3-ply construction.”

Unique Program Lets Homeowners Renovate without Paying Upfront When Selling a House

March 14, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

The Property Concierge Program is a Homeowner’s Selling Secret Weapon to Sell for More Money

A new kind of real estate company allows homeowners to perform renovations that dramatically increase their sale price when selling a house without having to pay for those upgrades until after they sell.

The Property Concierge Program from The Griffin Group was designed as a homeowner’s secret weapon when selling a house. Through it, the company performs targeted renovations that will add the most value to a house or condominium when selling. The best part is that homeowners don’t pay for the renovations until after the sale, allowing them to get maximum profit without being out of pocket.

“We’re on a mission to help homeowners to get the most profit possible from the sale of their house or condo,” said Caroline Griffin, co-founder of the Griffin Group. “We’ve seen too many people miss out on the profit they could get from selling their house because they didn’t want to or weren’t able to pay for some targeted renovations.”

Here’s how the program works when selling a house:

The Property Concierge 4-Step Process

1.     The Griffin Group Team identifies the renovations that will add the most resale value

2.     Provide a before and after estimate of your home’s value

3.     Perform quality home renovations fast

4.     Sell your home for more than you imagined

Husband and wife team Mark and Caroline Griffin have nearly 30 years of residential construction and real estate experience they bring together as The Griffin Group.

“It dawned on us one day, that my experience as a contractor and Caroline’s experience as a realtor could be combined to help people get what they deserve when selling a house,” said Mark Griffin, co-founder. “That’s why we created the Property Concierge program.”

About the Griffin Group

The Griffin Group was founded by husband-and-wife team Mark and Caroline Griffin with the goal of helping homeowners to get more profit from the sale of their house or condo. Through their unique Property Concierge Program, they carry the cost of targeted renovations that increase a home’s sale price and the owner does not pay for those renovations until after the sale, at which time both the renovation costs and the traditional real estate listing fee is taken from the proceeds of the sale.

ZongTeng Group’s Fight Against COVID-19 for Local Ecommerce Development

February 26, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

As the spread of COVID-19 variants seriously affects people’s daily lives, the demand for online shopping grows rapidly, which poses huge challenges and presents opportunities to the operation of the cross-border e-commerce industry. However, faced with the challenges, a strong logistics workforce, ZongTeng Group‘s staff, becomes more united and productive, sticking to their posts to ensure warehousing and logistics services.

A Dedicated Cross-Border Logistics Workforce In the Crisis 

ZongTeng Group’s UK warehouses are the company’s most important overseas warehouses that process 100% more parcels during the pandemic. In this video, ZongTeng UK Deputy General Manager, Charles Lu presents employees working in full swing in ZongTeng’s headquarters, Birmingham – UK No.5 Warehouse in the United Kingdom. 

Every worker there remains on their posts. Next to them are tens of thousands of pallets piled up with goods from China. They are all dedicated to picking, packing, sorting, shipping parcels, with face masks on all day, taking appropriate precautions to ward off the coronavirus. Feeling duty-bound to guarantee the safe delivery of goods and satisfy people’s needs, they work in shifts like a warrior fighting at the frontline. Their belief is “Things will get better, as long as we are united!” 

These workers have been effectively mobilized to forge ahead. Jack Peng, ZongTeng Senior Vice President encourages the staff, “A logistics company is now the mainstay of the society.” For them, it means more than work – each of them realizes their important roles and believes that they are making contributions to society. 

StrengtheningCooperation & Taking Social Responsibilities

Apart from the donation of 10,000 surgical face masks and 5,000 FFP2 face masks early in April 2020 when the supply of face masks was extremely insufficient, ZongTeng Group has provided many jobs to people in the local community. The company has been proactive in recruiting warehouse staff to cope with the rapid growth of its business.

Tony McGovern, Managing Director at Cannock Chase District Council highly recognizes ZongTeng Group, “The company has always been very aware of its local place in the community, acting as a good employer locally to get a good and productive workforce.”

Additionally, ZongTeng Group has also strengthened the cooperation with local delivery service providers to ensure last-mile delivery. In a meeting with ZongTeng UK General Manager, John SANSBY, Hermes Executive Strategy Partner acknowledges the importance of staying close to the growth of local e-commerce fulfillment with global companies like ZongTeng Group.

In 2020, ZongTeng has launched the global site of the GoTen Dropshipping Platform, attracting tens of thousands of online retailers in the European and American markets. This is because, in addition to free membership and big discounts, the dropshipping platform offers fast and free delivery of over 20,000 selected profitable dropshipping products from the US, UK, DE, FR warehouses, which means great business opportunities for those who want to start an e-commerce business at low costs. For example, stay-at-home people can easily have a side hustle and earn extra money.

Wrapping up

As the pandemic has brought huge challenges to businesses around the world, the international logistics company takes on a big mission. As a leading cross-border e-commerce infrastructure service provider, ZongTeng Group has taken effective measures to weather the crisis with local people. It has perfectly integrated its development needs while recruiting more staff to maintain people’s livelihood, mobilizing the workforce to guarantee order fulfillment, strengthening local partnerships to ensure the last-mile delivery, and rolling out the GoTen global site to provide more business opportunities.
