This honour is given to a few selected companies that have earned the trust from the legal community in APAC, according to a statement. “We are excited to be among the Top 10 Legal Tech Consulting/Services Companies in Asia.

CSC is featured in the magazine’s cover story, ‘Your Brand: Secured!’, discussing the importance of digital asset security, which is currently available on https://www.cscdigitalbrand.services.

WILTZ, Luxembourg, Oct 21 (Bernama) -- UNITED CAPS, an international manufacturer of caps and closures, today reported that it held a formal grand opening for its new manufacturing plant located in Kulim, Malaysia. This plant positions UNITED CAPS as a global player with continuing growth, opening new opportunities in the Asian market with its ‘Close to You’ strategy. During the event, UNITED CAPS launched a brand-new product designed specifically to meet the needs of the Asian market. 127 SAFE-TE breathes new life into baby food safety and convenience with impenetrable security features and a premium gold colour offering. “We were pleased to welcome a large group of invited dignitaries and guests to the grand opening of our new plant in Kulim, Malaysia, yesterday,” says Benoit Henckes, CEO of UNITED CAPS. “The decision to build this plant was part of our Close to You strategy to better serve the Asian market. This proximity enables us to shorten delivery times and focus on products that are the most relevant to this important market region, as demand for our products continues to grow. It was also an opportunity to launch a new product, 127 SAFE-TE, our next-generation closure for infant nutrition. As we celebrate our 80th anniversary, we are also celebrating our transition from a European to a fully global organisation. The event was carried out live in all of our other subsidiaries throughout Europe as well.” Congratulating United Caps Kulim on its opening, Dato’ Azman Mahmud, Chief Executive Officer of the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) said, “We are excited that UNITED CAPS is committed to Malaysia by establishing its first state-of-the-art manufacturing outfit outside of Europe to serve its customers in the entire Southeast Asian region. We are proud to be part of this endeavour. As at June 2019, MIDA has approved a total of 19 manufacturing projects from Luxembourg worth more than RM 1.4billion of investments into Malaysia.” “We trust that this project will serve as a catalyst for us to further engage with more stakeholders in strategising the way forward for the industries to adopt elements of Industry 4.0. MIDA would like to thank the company for its confidence in Malaysia’s capability. We will continue to work closely with other government agencies in providing our full support to ensure the growth of the company in the country,” added Dato’ Azman. As the market reference for snap caps and scoops for tins of infant milk powder over the past 80 years, UNITED CAPS continues to develop and improve its line of infant nutrition closures. The new SAFE-TE line takes UNITED CAPS offerings for infant nutrition products to the next level, addressing the need in the Asian market for increased tamper evidence (TE) indicators and a more premium look. Like our popular PROTECSCOOP, SAFE-TE is a flip-top hinged closure whose innovative design allows easy preparation of infant feeding bottles. 127 SAFE-TE’s tamper-evident band presents highly visible evidence of any tampering with a unique ‘drop down’ lock that makes it incredibly obvious if the product has been opened. Thanks to the new flex band, it is literally impossible for a malevolent actor to remove the closure, tamper with the contents, and return the closure to its original condition. UNITED CAPS’ award-winning anti-counterfeiting solutions add even greater levels of reassurance. SAFE-TE’s contamination-free foil-sealed chamber protects the included scoop until use, and an integrated hook keeps the scoop handy for further use. SAFE-TE is offered in the four standard UNITED CAPS colours plus a premium gold, which offers the overall look of higher quality and standout shelf appearance that is a growing requirement in Asian markets. Advanced in-mould labelling options further enhance opportunities for brands to differentiate themselves. For brands implementing SAFE-TE, there are minor or no changes required to existing capping/filling lines. 127 SAFE-TE is available in 127 mm, with a 99 mm solution in the pipeline. “We were extremely pleased with the attendees’ warm reception of the new SAFE-TE line, which will be available in both Asian and European versions,” adds Henckes. “We look forward to getting this product to the market, and to welcoming other visitors to see our state-of-the-art facilities.” Production of SAFE-TE for the Asian market will begin in Kulim in September 2020. mrem.bernama.com/viewsm.php?idm=35862 KUALA LUMPUR Oct 23 (Bernama) -- Mitra Tours & Travel won the Best Travel Agency in Malaysia Award at the 30th Annual TTG Travel Awards Ceremony & Gala Dinner 2019 held on Sept 26 at the Centara Grand, Central World Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand.
