HONG KONG, Nov 17, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – As the public subscription for Chuangxin Industries Holdings Limited (“Chuangxin Industries”; Stock Code: 02788.HK) entered its second day, the market response has been overwhelmingly positive. The company officially launched its initial public offering on November 14, 2025, with 17 cornerstone investors’ participation—a move that further bolsters investor confidence. As a leading player in China’s upstream aluminum sector, the company is offering 500 million shares subject to the Over-allotment Option, within a price range of HK$10.18 – HK$10.99 per share, aiming to raise up to HK$5,495 million. The public subscription period will run until November 19, 2025, with an entry fee of approximately HK$5,550 for a board lot of 500 shares, ahead of its expected listing on the HKEX Main Board on November 24, 2025.Chuangxin Industries specializes in alumina refining and aluminum smelting—two of the most value-added segments of the aluminum industry chain. With a proven track record of cost leadership, proactive green transition initiatives, and a highly integrated operational ecosystem, the company is strategically positioned to capitalize on growing global demand for aluminum—particularly low-carbon aluminum, which is increasingly favored in sectors such as electric vehicles, renewable energy infrastructure, and consumer electronics.One of the standout features of Chuangxin Industries is its strategic presence in resource-rich regions such as Inner Mongolia and Shandong Province. The company’s aluminum smelter in Huolinguole ranked as the fourth-largest production base of electrolytic aluminum in 2024 in North China. This location offers the company a decisive advantage in power costs, supported by self-generation capabilities and abundant local energy resources. In 2024, the company’s coal-fired power cost stood at just RMB0.37 per kWh, notably below the national average of RMB0.43 per kWh. By May 2025, this figure had further dropped to RMB0.33 per kWh—a clear indicator of continuous operational optimization.This low-cost energy structure has enabled Chuangxin Industries to achieve a cash cost of aluminum of approximately RMB15,112 per ton in 2024, significantly lower than the industry average of approximately RMB17,700 per ton in China. According to CRU, the company ranked among the top 5% of all aluminum smelting companies in China in terms of cost efficiency, reinforcing its competitive edge both domestically and globally.Aligned with China’s national goals to peak carbon emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060, Chuangxin Industries is moving decisively toward green power adoption. The company is currently constructing wind and solar power plants with a total projected installed capacity of 1,750.0 MW. By the end of 2026, it aims to source over 50% of its energy from renewables—doubling the national mandate of 25%. This transition not only supports environmental targets but also drives down long-term operational expenses. Based on the estimates, the delivered cost of green power is expected to be as low as RMB0.10–0.18 per kWh, substantially below current coal-powered rates, thereby enhancing profitability and insulating the company from potential carbon price increases.Another pillar of Chuangxin Industries’ competitive strength lies in its self-sufficient operational model. Electricity represents a major portion of production costs in aluminum smelting, and the company’s electricity self-sufficiency rate reached approximately 88% in 2024, far exceeding the industry average of around 57%. This high level of energy autonomy not only stabilizes production but also shields the company from grid price volatility. In addition, the company maintains a high rate of alumina self-sufficiency, with an annual designed production capacity of 788.1kt for electrolytic aluminum and 1,200.0 kt for alumina—ensuring a reliable and cost-effective supply of key raw materials.Geographic advantages further amplify Chuangxin Industries’ market positioning. Its Inner Mongolia smelter is located within a 25 km radius of downstream customers boasting a combined production capacity of over 1.9 million tons—far exceeding its own annual output of 788.1 kt. This proximity not only reduces transportation costs but also enables the sale of liquid aluminum, which must be delivered within a narrow 50 km radius. Supported by its high rates of self-sufficiency in both electricity and alumina supply, Chuangxin Industries has established a synergistic, integrated ecosystem that ensures unique competitiveness across the electrolytic aluminum industry chain and shields the company from market volatility. Financially, Chuangxin Industries has demonstrated impressive growth and operational efficiency. Revenue increased from RMB13.8 billion in 2023 to RMB15.2 billion in 2024, and surged by 22.6% year-on-year to RMB7.2 billion in the first five months of 2025. Gross profit margin improved markedly from 16.9% in 2023 to 28.2% in 2024, reflecting both improved cost control and favorable industry dynamics. These results underscore the company’s ability to capitalize on market upcycles while maintaining structural cost advantages.Looking ahead, Chuangxin Industries is not resting on its achievements. The company has unveiled plans to establish a 500 kt aluminum smelting facility in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia—a strategic move that will leverage the country’s low-cost natural gas resources and prime location near the Red Sea. This expansion will facilitate efficient export of aluminum products to markets in Europe and the United States via the Suez Canal.The IPO of Chuangxin Industries arrives at a pivotal moment, with global aluminum demand being steadily driven by transitions in transportation, energy, and digital infrastructure. With its industry-leading cost structure, clear green transformation roadmap, and fully integrated value chain, Chuangxin Industries is not merely a commodity producer—it is a forward-looking industrial operator committed to sustainable and high-quality growth.

LONDON, Nov 14, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Two pioneering studies published in the journal Animals have explored in depth how dog and cat guardians perceive more sustainable pet food options. Led by Jenny L. Mace, Alexander Bauer, Andrew Knight and Billy Nicholles, the research sheds new light on the potential for alternative proteins and plant-based diets in the companion animal sector.Study 1 - Dogs: ‘Consumer Acceptance of Sustainable Dog Diets: A Survey of 2,639 Dog Guardians'In the first study, the team surveyed 2,639 dog guardians worldwide. Around 84% of respondents were currently feeding their dogs either conventional or raw meat-based diets. However, a substantial 43% of this group reported they would nevertheless consider at least one type of more sustainable dog food (such as vegan, vegetarian or cultivated-meat formulations).Among the alternative options, the most acceptable was cultivated meat-based dog food (chosen by 24% of these respondents), compared to vegetarian (17%) and vegan (13%) dog diets. And when asked what characteristics would be needed for these alternatives to be chosen, the top choices were nutritional soundness (chosen by 85%) followed by good pet health (83%).Study 2 - Cats: ‘Consumer Acceptance of Sustainable Cat Diets: A Survey of 1,380 Cat Guardians'The companion study gathered responses from 1,380 cat guardians. In total 89% of these guardians fed their cats conventional or raw meat-based diets. However, just over half - 51% - of this group considered at least one of the more sustainable options to be acceptable.The most popular alternatives were those based on cultivated meat (chosen by 33% of this group) followed by vegan diets (18%). Similarly to dogs, the most important characteristics alternative diets would need to offer be chosen were good pet health outcomes (chosen by 83%) and nutritional soundness (80%).Differences among consumersBoth studies found that guardians who themselves reduce or avoid meat were significantly more open to alternative diets for their pets, as were those with higher educational qualifications. Age and regional differences were also apparent, with older consumers, and those from the UK, often less open to alternatives than those in other European nations, North America or Oceania, although differences were often not significant.What This MeansThese twin studies come at a time when the environmental and ethical footprint of conventional pet food production is growing in public consciousness. As noted by study co-author and veterinary professor Andrew Knight: "Recent studies have demonstrated that our dogs and cats collectively consume a substantial proportion of all farmed animals. Pet diets such as those based on plant-based ingredients or cultivated meat could transform the pet food system, lowering adverse impacts for farmed animals and the environment."With rapidly increasing populations already numbering hundreds of millions of dogs and cats globally, the shift of even a modest percentage of these pets to lower-impact diets could bring significant benefits.As co-author Billy Nicholles summarised: "These findings are of value to the rapidly growing pet food alternatives industry, enabling pet food companies to accelerate their growth and acquire new customers through evidence-based, targeted outreach."Implications for Industry and Veterinary PracticeFor pet food companies, the message is clear: launching sustainable diet lines is not merely a matter of production innovation, but also of trust-building. Clear information about nutritional soundness and health outcomes feature heavily in guardian willingness to adopt new products.For veterinary practitioners and animal welfare organisations, these findings underscore the importance of informed communication. If guardians are open to alternatives but uncertain about their pet's health outcomes, then evidence-based guidance becomes a key enabling factor.Further informationAndrew KnightVeterinary Professor of Animal WelfareAndrew.Knight@murdoch.edu.auSOURCE: Sustainable Pet Food Foundation Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

- Findings of a supply chain study commissioned by the HKTDC point out that even amid tense US-China relations, many US companies remain deeply engaged in the Chinese market, particularly in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area due to its unique and highly concentrated supplier network that is difficult to replace- Mainland enterprises are actively diversifying their supply chains and using Hong Kong as a supply chain management centre, with the city playing a key role in regional supply chain transformation- Hong Kong is a “superconnector” that serves as a crucial gateway for mainland enterprises to expand overseas and for global companies to access the Chinese Mainland market and regional supply chainsHONG KONG, Nov 13, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Hong Kong’s status as the preeminent supply chain “superconnector” has been reaffirmed by a major new US-Hong Kong research initiative. This was one of the key findings of “Strategically Leveraging Supply Chains to Access the Asian Market”, a major new research initiative commissioned by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) and conducted by the Bay Area Council Economic Institute of the United States.At the heart of the study is a timely analysis of the ways in which the shift in US trade policy has triggered the accelerated reconfiguration of global supply chains, creating a raft of new challenges and opportunities along the way.While full details of the analysis will be published in December, preliminary findings introduced in the run-up to the 15th Asian Logistics, Maritime and Aviation Conference (ALMAC) indicate heightened geopolitical tensions, evolving trade policies, environmental pressures and technological advancements as becoming the collective catalyst for a supply chain revolution that is impacting every aspect of the global economy. In the wake of this mass recalibration, companies are reassessing their operations and looking to manage hitherto unencountered risks, ensuring that resilience is now prioritised alongside cost management and consistent competitiveness. This will inevitably impact the primacy of Asia’s role within this transformed landscape.The US research team was headed by Sean Randolph, Senior Director of the Bay Area Council Economic Institute, an acknowledged authority on economic and policy issues. Detailing the transformation underway, Mr Randolph said that the adoption of strategies such as reshoring, nearshoring and developing redundant supply routes by many global businesses is accelerating the regionalisation of supply chains. This shift, he said, has been partly driven by the regional trade agreements in place, but also by the need for greater supply chain security and a desire for proximity.Expanding on this, Mr Randolph said: “Companies are diversifying their manufacturing bases, while relocating certain activities from China to other countries in Southeast Asia, India and Mexico – adopting the so-called ‘China+1’ strategy in order to ensure resilience and reduce risk exposure.“At the same time, despite the ongoing bilateral friction, it is notable that many US companies remain deeply engaged with China. This is largely on account of the country’s unique concentration of suppliers – especially in the case of such regions as the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) – which cannot be easily replaced or replicated elsewhere. Indeed, a number of recent surveys and announcements – including major Chinese Mainland investment commitments by businesses of the stature of Nvidia and Apple – have clearly demonstrated that, for many US businesses, China remains a key locale, with their engagement at least partly due to the indispensability of the broader regional supply chains.”Hong Kong can benefit as mainland enterprises look to diversify supply chainsNoting that the new tariffs and President Trump’s changed trade priorities have given some countries comparative advantages when exporting to the US, HKTDC Director of Research Irina Fan said: “In a development likely to bolster China’s stature as a production base, following early November’s US-China trade agreement, Chinese imports to the United States will be subject to a 20% tariff rate (10% reciprocal tariff + 10% fentanyl related) for the period 10 November 2025 to 10 November 2026. This comparatively low tariff level puts China-based suppliers on a par with many of their Southeast Asia counterparts, while providing them with a significant competitive advantage over countries with a higher tariff rate.”Maintaining that this does not suggest that Chinese Mainland businesses are complacent about their status, Ms Fan added: “Currently, many mainland enterprises are proactively taking steps to diversify and strengthen their supply chains, with a significant number of them leveraging Hong Kong as their supply chain management centre. Overall, Hong Kong is clearly set to play an increasingly important role in the ongoing supply chain transformation process, a change that is being driven by the region’s deeper economic integration and the new generation of supply chain networks.”The report cited the electric vehicle (EV) sector as one example where Hong Kong is already playing a pivotal role in the regional supply chain transformation process. As mainland-based automotive manufacturers, as well as their global counterparts, prioritise the expansion of EV and battery production in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong has more than proved its worth as a crucial investment and financial hub, acting as an effective conduit for significant capital to be channelled into countries such as Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia. More generally, recent investment data also clearly indicated that Chinese Mainland companies are increasingly utilising Hong Kong as the support platform for many of their regional projects.This outcome is likely to be bolstered by Hong Kong’s wide-ranging financial and professional services sectors, as well as the city’s agility in adapting to technological transformation and the evolving regulatory landscape – attributes that collectively position it as an indispensable nexus for international businesses.Summing up the report’s assessment of Hong Kong, Ms Fan said: “Essentially, this new research highlights Hong Kong’s vital roles as both a superconnector and a super-value-adder, while confirming the city’s status as the key enabler for any mainland enterprise looking to expand overseas, and simultaneously serving as a gateway for any global company looking to access the revitalised regional supply chains and the China market. This ubiquity is reflected within Hong Kong itself, with the city now home to an ever-higher number of overseas businesses, including 1,390 US companies, as of June 2024.”Flagship logistics event set to address regional supply chain developmentsThe rise of regional supply chains and the implications for global trade will be among the many key issues addressed at the upcoming ALMAC, which will be held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre on 17 and 18 November. Organised by the Hong Kong SAR Government and the HKTDC, the event will bring together some 80 distinguished speakers and is expected to attract 2,300 participants from more than 40 countries and regions. In line with the policies outlined in the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Communist Party of China Central Committee and the 2025 Policy Address, the event will focus on many of the recent moves to further enhance Hong Kong’s status as an international shipping centre and global logistics hub.As the annual flagship event for the logistics, maritime and aviation sectors, ALMAC 2025 is running under the theme “Collaboration and Growth in the New Trade Landscape”, reflecting the event’s commitment to exploring trends and opportunities in the fields of logistics, shipping and air freight. Ultimately, the aims of the event are to foster the high-quality development of logistics and supply chain management, deepen international engagement, and facilitate practical cooperation throughout the logistics industry.Report and photo download: https://bit.ly/49Q8aFI“Strategically Leveraging Supply Chains to Access the Asian Market” is the major new research initiative commissioned by the HKTDC and conducted by the Bay Area Council Economic Institute of the United States.

HONG KONG, Nov 12, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Hong Kong is seen as a priority market and an essential trading partner by many of Italy’s increasingly Asia-focused businesses. This is among the key findings of a new report – Italian Companies’ Asian Expansion Priorities: Innovation, Healthcare and Retail Sectors – jointly conducted by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) and the Milan-headquartered Italy China Council Foundation (ICCF).The research forms part of the forthcoming edition of the HKTDC’s signature promotion campaign Think Business, Think Hong Kong (TBTHK), set to take place in Milan, Italy on 27 November. The event will bring together over 700 business leaders, officials and investors from both Hong Kong and Italy to discover business and partnership opportunities in Asia.Primarily targeted at Italian companies with business in Hong Kong, the Chinese Mainland and Asia, the research survey was conducted in Q3 2025, covering 172 Italian C-suite and senior business leaders.Commenting on the significance of the report, Irina Fan, Director of HKTDC Research, said: “According to the survey findings, 77% of Italian businesses are genuinely enthusiastic when it comes to expanding in Asia, with the Chinese Mainland and Hong Kong being their priority markets.”“It is particularly gratifying to see Hong Kong poised to play such a vital role in facilitating the Asia expansion of such businesses. When asked about how Hong Kong can facilitate Italian business expansion in Asia over the next three years, some 93% of respondents believe Hong Kong can effectively support their future Asia expansion plans. Its unrivalled status as a strategic gateway to many Asian markets, as well as its capabilities as a logistics and supply chain management hub, were also widely acknowledged,” she added.Facilitating expansion and leveraging trade agreementsWhen it came to future opportunities, the survey also highlighted the relatively limited awareness and low utilisation of many regional trade agreements. In particular, two agreements emerged as having significant potential to transform the commercial relationship between Hong Kong and Italy.The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) is the world’s largest free trade agreement, encompassing the ASEAN bloc, the Chinese Mainland, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand. While 51% of respondents are currently capitalising on its benefits, huge untapped potential remains. Should Hong Kong’s application to join the RCEP be successful, 60% of Italian enterprises anticipate that it would unlock new economic opportunities and strengthen their engagement with the city.Another pivotal agreement is the Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement (CEPA), which has provided Hong Kong-based suppliers of goods and services with privileged access to the vast Chinese Mainland market since 2003. Despite CEPA having been in place for many years, some 80% of the Italian businesses surveyed were unaware of the agreement or how to leverage its benefits. This reveals a major opportunity, as only 12% are currently making use of CEPA’s advantages through strategic partnerships in Hong Kong.Putting the survey and its findings into perspective, Sara Berloto, Head of Research for the ICCF, said: “The survey highlighted many Italian companies can better leverage several existing regional trade agreements. This was most notably the case with the RCEP and CEPA. Overall, there is a real need for comprehensive information, training, and institutional support initiatives in order to ensure companies — especially SMEs — can heighten their strategic utilisation of such agreements.”Apparent opportunities amid already strong tiesLooking at the broader picture, the scale of opportunity available to Hong Kong SMEs is striking. Most notably, 77% of Italian companies plan to expand within Asia over the next three years, with the Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea and India cited as their preferred markets.By sector, 95% of Italian innovation and technology companies plan to expand in Asia, followed by 88% of healthcare companies and 86% of enterprises in the retail /wholesale sector. These findings align well with Hong Kong's new industry focus on innovation and technology, the life sciences and healthtech, as well as the raft of ambitious e-commerce initiatives the city has committed to.Such developments would further enhance the strong business relationship between Italy and Hong Kong. In 2024, trade between the two amounted to US$8.3 billion (HK$64.5 billion), positioning Italy as Hong Kong’s fourth-largest EU trading partner and export market and its third-largest EU import market.As of the end of 2023, Hong Kong was the third most significant destination for Italian investment in Asia. Hong Kong investors also made substantial investments in Italy, with the city being the third-largest Asian investor in the country. As of 2024, there were some 200 Italian companies active in Hong Kong.Think Business, Think Hong KongThe full survey report will be launched at TBTHK in Milan on 27 November.After successful Paris and Jakarta editions, TBTHK Milan will bring together some 80 delegates from Hong Kong, including government officials, top business and creative industry leaders, corporate service professionals, investors and start-up entrepreneurs, for a day of dialogue, networking and partnership-building with Italian companies keen to expand into Asia.The mega promotion will feature a symposium and an exhibition comprising the Business Support Zone and InnoVenture Salon, where some 20 Hong Kong service providers and start-ups will showcase their flagship products and solutions.

THE HAGUE, NETHERLANDS, Nov 12, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Global Anti-Scam Alliance (GASA) will release its State of Scam Brazil Report 2025 on November 13, revealing an alarming disconnect between confidence and vulnerability: while 75% of Brazilians believe they can recognize scams, 70% have fallen victim to at least one within the past year. The report estimates total losses at R$99 billion, underscoring the urgent need for coordinated action across sectors.State of Scams in BrazilPart of a landmark global study covering 42 markets and interviewing 46,000 people worldwide, the Brazilian findings from 1,000 adults paint a troubling picture of daily vulnerability. Brazilians encounter scams on average once every day and a half - totaling 252 encounters per person annually. These encounters occur most frequently through phone calls (65%), text messages (55%), and email (55%), with shopping scams emerging as the most common type of fraud."Scams have become part of everyday life in Brazil. The fact that most people feel confident spotting scams, yet continue to fall for them, shows how sophisticated and convincing these schemes have become," said Renata Salvini, GASA Chapter Director Brazil. "Education, prevention, collaboration, and accountability must go hand in hand if we want to stop this cycle."The Human Cost Beyond Financial LossThe report reveals that 86% of scam victims felt very or somewhat stressed by their experience, while 59% reported significant or moderate impacts on their mental wellbeing. On average, each victim has been scammed 1.9 times in the past year, demonstrating how repeat victimization compounds both financial and psychological harm.Despite the prevalence of scams, reporting remains disappointingly low. While just over two-thirds of those exposed have reported an incident, 60% of those who did report said either no action was taken (44%) or they were unsure of the outcome (16%). Among those who never reported, 44% cited the belief that reporting wouldn't make a difference - reflecting a troubling perception that the problem is unmanageable.Taking Action: Cross-Sector SolutionsIn response to these findings, GASA will host a webinar on November 13, 2025, at 11:00 AM (Brasília Time) titled "State of Scams in Brazil: Turning the Tide on Scams." The session will explore concrete strategies and coordinated actions to combat the growing scam epidemic in Brazil, featuring a distinguished panel of experts sharing insights from the legal, technology, and financial sectors.Register for the webinar: https://streamyard.com/watch/wGnWNAayknPDRead the report:Read the full reportNovember 13 webinarRead the full release, including methodology & boilerplateContact InformationMetje van der MeerMarketing Directormetje.vandermeer@gasa.orgSOURCE: Global Anti-Scam Alliance Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.
