ATLANTA, GA, Dec 3, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - OMP is helping McCormick & Co., the global leader in flavor, with an AI-driven and autonomous operational planning initiative. This partnership enables McCormick to manage both assembly-to-order (ATO) and make-to-stock (MTS) production within the Unison PlanningTM platform.The initiative tackles key challenges, including balancing ATO and MTS production on shared lines, improving inventory projections through quality-based stock releases, and managing capacity amid fluctuating demand. Addressing these challenges requires close collaboration across regions with North American and EMEA teams working in parallel, and seamless integration of SAP with the operational planning functionality within Unison Planning™. The first implementations will roll out in Canada and the United States before expanding to the EMEA and APAC regions.Through its partnership with OMP, McCormick is implementing autonomous, decision-centric planning powered by agentic AI to transform how production and inventory are managed. The solution enables McCormick teams to plan more effectively for both custom and standard products, rapidly adjust to shifts in demand or supply, and make smarter sourcing decisions. The result is a more responsive supply chain that delivers optimized cost and cash by improving alignment between market demand and production timelines, as well as supporting lower cost of goods through waste reduction. These enhancements are also expected to indirectly result in higher service levels and improved top-line growth."We're really excited about this technology as part of our roadmap of digital transformation," says Whitney Shlesinger, VP of Global Planning and Logistics. "We're embracing AI to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and strengthen our supply chain against volatility.""McCormick is showing how autonomous planning, planner empowerment, and leadership alignment can strengthen resilience," said Philip Vervloesem, Chief Commercial & Markets Officer at OMP. "Together, we are embedding AI in a way that supports agility, collaboration, and innovation across their supply chain."DisclaimerSAP and other SAP products and services mentioned herein, as well as their respective logos, are trademarks or registered trademarks of SAP SE in Germany and other countries.

From tomorrow until Saturday, the exhibition will welcome industry professionals and the public with free admission. The event brings together over 260 exhibitors from 14 countries and regions, providing an opportunity for design enthusiasts, buyers and members of the public to explore how design connects culture, industry and everyday life through exhibitions, dialogues and workshops.A global platform weaving creativity and commerceThe HKTDC’s commitment to promoting the development of Hong Kong’s cultural and creative industries continues, cementing the city’s role as an east-meets-west centre for international cultural exchange. Since 2017, DesignInspire has provided a platform for designers, brands and creative institutions to connect with potential buyers from around the world, unlocking design-led business opportunities. Sophia Chong, Executive Director of the HKTDC, said: “This year’s DesignInspire unites global creative and business talents, presenting major international collaborations that underscore the event’s mission as a world-class design platform. Artistic exchange is not only where ideas and inspiration are born – it also provides the opportunity to build new partnerships. With its unique position as a global business hub, Hong Kong is ideally placed to foster international exchanges and collaboration.”A key highlight of this year’s DesignInspire is the triumphant return of French lifestyle and design authority Maison&Objet* which presents the upgraded Maison&Objet Intérieurs Hong Kong 2025*, bringing together 16 internationally renowned designers and artisans and more than 200 brands. Centred on the concept of “Crossroads,” the curation presents a cross-cultural design language spanning dialogue, sustainable innovation and avant-garde craft. Design Factory, curated by four international curators, features over 200 pieces that envision future living through materials, crafts and narrative, including works by French trend hunter Elizabeth Leriche and the co-founders of COLLECTIBLE, Clélie Debehault and Liv Vaisberg. Meanwhile, Design Showcase connects seven design capitals – Dubai, Hong Kong, Milan, New Delhi, Paris, Seoul and Shanghai – each interpreting diverse lifestyles and spatial imaginations through a distinctive urban context. Italian brand Moroso presents special showcase, Resonant Landscapes, a public art installation curated by Creative Director Patrizia Moroso that fuses sculptural form and sensory experience to create a poetic encounter between art and design.Philippe Delhomme, Executive Board Chairman of Maison&Objet, said: “Thanks CCIDA and DesignInspire for the continuous support. After our first showcase in Hong Kong last year, we received positive feedback and attention. This year’s upgraded Maison&Objet Intérieurs Hong Kong 2025 nearly doubles in scale. We will showcase the future of interior design and we look forward to gathering with global industry peers and potential buyers to explore deeper collaborations.”In its mission to connect global creativity and foster cross-industry collaboration, DesignInspire 2025 features international pavilions from places including the Chinese Mainland, Belgium, Czechia, France, India, Indonesia, Italy, South Korea, Thailand and the United Arab Emirates, presenting a diversity of design viewpoints and cultural dialogues. The Czech Pavilion gathers Prague-based brands Artisème, Braasi Industry and Pigmentarium, showcasing Bohemian crystal and porcelain craftsmanship, handcrafted urban backpacks and artistic fragrances, and fusing centuries-old crafts with contemporary sensibilities through light, texture and scent. In addition, this year’s event features several first-time exhibitors, including the Hefei Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism, Ikatan Arsitek Indonesia and the Macao Product Design Association, to showcase creative works that highlight local characteristics.Beyond international showcases, a renowned designer and an emerging artist anchor the show’s cross-cultural narrative. BOTTEGA HONG KONG, with Alan Chan as Creative Director, along with UNVEIL LIMITED and Su Chang Design Research Office, reimagines everyday aesthetics through an “open carton” inspired by Italy’s alimentari and Hong Kong’s “si dor” neighbourhood stores. The pavilion showcases Hong Kong and Italian talent, including anothermountainman; Didi Ng, the first Hong Kong finalist of the LOEWE Foundation Craft Prize; Italian fashion brand FERRAGAMO; Italian furniture design powerhouse Moroso; glass artist Lucia Massari, known for pieces created for Dolce & Gabbana Casa; Alessandro Stabile Design Studio, one of Italy’s top emerging designers; and David Leung, photographer and artist. Together they are throwing the spotlight on Hong Kong-Italy design sensibilities and cultural narratives.Curated by rising artist Chilai Howard, TINY STUDIO takes inspiration from Hong Kong’s street stall culture to shape 12 studio pavilions with unique designs, bringing fashion designer Angus Tsui, renowned illustrator Pen So, local fragrance brand BeCandle, acclaimed music producer Edward Chan, and Kelly Cheuk and Kwokin from the music video and visual production studio (Re). The set-up hosts creators from both Hong Kong and Italy working across the fields of digital art, sound, scent, sculpture and hands-on workshops, inviting visitors into immersive interactions that capture the creative energy between the two places.This year, DesignInspire has partnered with Tatler to present “The A.I. Atelier”, an experience zone that blends design and technology. Supported by Gen.T and powered by Preface—a tech-enabling company founded by Tommy Lo, an outstanding young honouree from the Tatler Generation Tomorrow Community—this zone explores creativity through artificial intelligence (AI). It analyses visitors’ unique design spirit and styles, generating personalised visual creations on the spot. This gives audiences a first-hand experience of how AI is radically reshaping design language and forging a new era of intelligent synergy between design and technology.Local exhibitors also unveil new designs, including GERI, an intelligent textile technology company, which collaborates with graphic design master Kan Tai-keung to leverage DesignInspire debuting a new series of smart handbags as a seamless fusion of innovation and craftsmanship.Global creativity converges to expand collaborative horizonsTo connect local and international cultural and creative design communities, foster collaboration, and pave the way for future industry development, DesignInspire is hosting an exclusive VIP preview today. The event brings together leading creative and cultural organisations from Hong Kong and overseas, major institutions across various sectors, international enterprises and design service users and buyers.

Highlights include “Time Warp – When Nostalgia Meets the Future”, where local studios Nopaperstudio and Hoopla unpack how retro elements and craft vocabularies evolve into contemporary visual languages, and why the trend for nostalgia resonates in a fast-paced digital era.Another session, “Future development potential of Art Toy IP”, sees international designer Winson Ma analyse industry trends and explore how designer toys forge unique value chains across art, collecting and commerce, covering licensing, production and promotion models that turn creative characters into marketable cultural icons.Other InnoTalks sessions span topics including multisensory design, sustainable interiors and more, running alongside the Maison&Objet Exhibitors’ Forum and the Federation of Hong Kong Industries D Mark Presentation. A series of creative workshops will be open to the public, where participants can experience hands-on art creation, from cyanotype printing, light sculpture and stone painting to miniature art, paper craft and candle-making. Many of the workshops draw inspiration from Hong Kong motifs, integrating local elements into creative experiences.Harnessing the power of design and art to foster community inclusionDesignInspire is also collaborating with St. James’ Creation under St. James’ Settlement to promote artistic development for people in rehabilitation, introducing “MusicCLAY – Noided Music Making Experience Workshop” – a hands-on experience combining clay art with electronic noise music. In addition, the Hong Kong YMCA’s the DOOOR arts space joins the exhibition to integrate art into the community.Running concurrently with DesignInspire are three important HKTDC-led events – Business of IP Asia Forum, Entrepreneur Day and Start-up Express: International Edition 2025 – taking place from 4 to 5 December at the HKCEC, helping to create further synergies and business opportunities.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - December 2, 2025) - Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (FSE: A1W038) (FSE: 1D4) ("Doubleview" or the "Company") is pleased to provide a summary of the cobalt component of its Hat Polymetallic Deposit in northwestern British Columbia, in advance of the upcoming updated Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") and Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA"). Based on the Company's review of publicly available information, the Hat Deposit may contain one of the largest undeveloped cobalt inventories associated with a Canadian mineral deposit.The Hat Deposit Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate, released July 25, 2024, outlined a large alkalic porphyry type copper-gold-cobalt-scandium resource, within which cobalt occurs as a by-product metal uniformly associated with copper and pyrite mineralization. The cobalt component of the resource is summarized as follows:Indicated: 150 million tonnes containing 28 million pounds (approximately 12,700 tonnes) of cobalt at 0.008% CoInferred: 477 million tonnes containing 91 million pounds (approximately 41,300 tonnes) of cobalt at 0.009% CoThe Hat Deposit contains one of the more significant undeveloped cobalt-containing mineral resources in Canada. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.Cobalt is consistently distributed throughout the alkalic porphyry system alongside copper, gold, silver, and scandium. Metallurgical testwork to date indicates that cobalt is efficiently liberated into a clean pyrite concentrate suitable for conventional downstream processing. Additional metallurgical work is ongoing.Farshad Shirvani, President & CEO, commented: "Copper, gold, and scandium remain the primary value drivers at the Hat Deposit, but the cobalt content represents a meaningful additional component of the project's critical-minerals profile. As demand for secure and responsibly sourced battery metals continues to rise, the Hat Deposit's location in a Tier-1 jurisdiction and its unusually large cobalt endowment strengthen the project's long-term relevance. As we complete the updated MRE and advance our PEA, cobalt will be one of several important contributors evaluated in the broader economic framework."Why Cobalt from Hat MattersCobalt is designated a critical mineral by Canada, the United States, the European Union, Australia, Japan, and the United Kingdom. It is essential for:High-performance lithium-ion batteriesSuperalloys used in aerospace and defenseClean-energy technologies including wind, fuel cells, and emerging grid-storage systemsMore than 70% of refined cobalt is processed in China, and most mine supply originates from the Democratic Republic of Congo. Western governments and industry groups are seeking secure, ethical, and transparent supply chains. Canada currently produces only minor by-product cobalt amounts. The Hat Deposit has the scale, continuity, and jurisdictional advantages to potentially contribute to future domestic supply should the project advance through the necessary evaluation and development stages.Qualified PersonErik Ostensoe, P.Geo., a consulting geologist and Doubleview's Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical disclosure in this news release. Mr. Ostensoe is not independent of Doubleview as he is a shareholder of the Company.About the Hat Polymetallic DepositThe Hat Deposit is located in northwestern British Columbia and is a large alkalic-porphyry system hosting significant copper, gold, cobalt, and scandium mineralization. The project has been advanced through multiple exploration campaigns, geophysical surveys, metallurgical test programs, and drill programs targeting expanded resource potential.
