Fine Hygienic Holding continues to roll out a progressive female-friendly approach with its latest Menopause and Fertility Treatment Policy

Fine Hygienic Holding

Fine Hygienic Holding (FHH), a world-leading wellness group and manufacturer of hygienic paper products and long-term germ protection solutions, has recently recommitted to its ongoing mission to make the workplace environment more inclusive and inviting for all its employees. The company has rolled out additional reforms in terms of its female-friendly policies to ensure everyone operates in a supportive environment. A step towards establishing positive change has been made, as the company is introducing the Fine Flourish Policy, which includes provisions for Menstrual, Menopause, and Fertility Treatment leaves, across all its locations. All female personnel - both full-time and probationary - are eligible to take advantage of the generous Fine Flourish policy. Employees are granted up to 12 days of leave annually in the event of any illness, symptoms, or complications related to menopause, menstruation, or fertility treatment. Moreover, flexible work arrangements can be made to ensure their comfort and convenience. All these provisions can be availed without a medical certificate and are granted separately from vacations or other leave policies. FHH is regarded as a pioneer in the region with its employee-friendly leave policies that offer time to recover both physically and emotionally. Kirsty Koen, FHH CHRO, said, “At Fine Hygienic Holding, we believe that a successful business must always prioritize its people. That’s why one of our core values has always been - if we take care of our people, the business will take care of itself. We are constantly exploring new methods and practices that will help ensure our employees are supported in every aspect, especially during times when they need it the most. Every policy we announce is tailored to embody our values and to provide support, and we will continue to be dedicated to looking after the wellbeing of our people and pave the way for woman employment across the Middle East.” Fine Hygienic Holding has already set the bar high in this field when it previously introduced a series of progressive leaves on top of which is its menstrual leave, which the company launched more than 10 years ago. For mothers to be, FHH provides up to 16 weeks of fully paid maternity leave, which is far more than the recommendations of the International Labour Organization. Furthermore, the company has amended its parental leave policy, allowing three weeks of paid paternity leave, and has also set a benchmark in global and regional companies by introducing a compassionate leave wherein a female employee or the spouse of an employee is granted a paid leave in cases of miscarriages or stillbirths. Fine Hygienic Holding (FHH), one of the world’s leading wellness groups and MENA’s leading manufacturer of hygienic products, serves consumers in more than 80 countries around the world. Originally established as a paper manufacturer, FHH has transformed into a wellness company dedicated to enhancing global health and wellbeing. Committed to becoming “the shining star of the Arab FMCG business world,” the Group focuses on wellness, sustainability, pioneering CSR programs, and state-of-the-art production processes. Fine Hygienic Holding offers a diverse array of award-winning products including sterilized facial tissues, napkins, kitchen towels, toilet paper, baby diapers, adult briefs, jumbo rolls, as well as away-from-home products to accommodate all types of private and public institutions, in addition to its advanced range of personal protective equipment (PPE) and long-lasting germ protection solutions, it also brings Nai natural iced teas and innovative nutritional supplements, Motiva, to the market. Along with multiple awards over the years, particularly for its products and CSR initiatives, the company was recognized as a Top Employer Middle East 2022 by the prestigious Top Employers Institute in every country it operates.

Golden Grail Technology (OTC:GOGY) Reaches Full Circle Distribution Agreement

TopNewsGuide - Market News & Commentary

There are very few industries that have managed to grow at such an impressive pace in recent years as the beverage industry and there are some companies that are doing stellar work in that sector. One of the companies to fit the bill in that regard is Golden Grail Technology (OTCMKTS:GOGY). The company is largely involved in building, growing, and streamlining its portfolio of beverages through responsible investments. Golden Grail is best known for going for brands with a proven track record of sales and loyal consumer following. In addition to that, the company also looks into the retail presence of the brand and the overall value proposition. In essence, Golden Grail is essentially interested in such beverage brands which want to graduate to the next level of growth. For a company like Golden Grail, which depends heavily on retail presence in a big way, distribution is one of the key elements of its business and in recent times the company has been making rapid strides on that front. This past Friday, the company was in the news after it announced that it had inked a distribution agreement for distributing Sway Energy with Full Circle Distributors. The agreement is with regard to the distribution of the product in Pennsylvania. Full Circle has been in business since as far back as 2010 and during that time it partnered with some of the biggest retailers in order to bring some of the highest quality products to the Pittsburgh market. The company has built up a strong distribution network which includes gas stations, grocery stores, convenience stores, gyms, universities, colleges, and hotels. The Chief Executive Officer of Golden Grail Steve Hoffman spoke about the latest development as well. He noted that everyone at the company was pleased with the prospect of having teamed up with Full Circle. He went on to add that it was one of the biggest distributors in Pittsburg and more importantly, the market lay within 500 miles of more than 50% of the population of the United States. Hence, it could be argued that the distribution partner for this area alone could open up a massive new market for Golden Grail’s product. Hoffman stated that the partnership could help the company in expanding the presence of the Sway Brand in the Northeastern region of the United States. On the same day, the company announced the signing of another distribution agreement. The distribution agreement signed by Golden Grail was with Olympic Eagle Distributing and it was for the distribution of Sway Energy products in Washington State. Olympic Eagle is one of the biggest distributors in the Pacific Northwest and deals in a range of products including, non-alcoholic beverages, cider, craft beer, wine, spirits, and imported beer among others. The company had signed distribution partnerships for the Pacific Northwest region not too long ago and the one with Olympic Eagle would only help it in strengthening its presence even further. Hoffman stated at the time that he was pleased with the development.

InnerScope Hearing Technologies (OTC: INND): Latest News & Developments

TopNewsGuide - Market News & Commentary

The over-the-counter hearing aids space is quite a niche sector and one of the more important players in that space is InnerScope Hearing Technologies Inc. (OTC: INND). The company not only manufactures OTC Hearing aids but also hearing aid accessories and products related to hearing health. The company seeks to address the worldwide demand for hearing solutions that are affordable. The company has managed to come up with a business-to-customer and business-to-business model that has managed to overcome the barriers that make it difficult for customers to get access to effective and affordable hearing solutions. It should be noted that long ago, the company made a key acquisition in the form of iHear Medical Inc., a cloud powered hearing solutions provider. Perhaps more importantly, it was an acquisition that gave the company access to more than 40 patents and a research and development facility. The acquisition of HearingAssist could also prove to be an inspiring one given the company has been in the OTC hearing aid market since 2008 and commands a customer base of 400,000. Last week, InnerScope was in the news on March 2 after it announced that it was going to participate in the World Hearing Day of the World Health Organization on March 3, 2023. The company announced at the time that it was going to join in the celebrations through the promotion of the OTC Hearing Aids from HearingAssist. The hearing aids, which are registered with the United States Food and Drug Administration, are available in more than 1500 Walmart Vision Centers and also on Walmart.com. World Hearing Day is an annual event that looks to advocate for raising global awareness with regard to hearing loss, hearing care, and ear well-being. InnerScope and its subsidiary HearingAssist were looking to participate in the event by raising as much awareness as possible about their Free Hearing Screenings and timely treatment of any kind of hearing loss. In the press release that was published by the company back on March 2, InnerScope noted that as many as 48 million people in the United States suffer from some degree of hearing loss, and around 50% of those are younger than 65. It went on to note that hearing loss was the third most common health problem among older adults in America. At the end of the day, companies like InnerScope need strong distribution networks and a presence in leading stores. Last year, on December 22, 2022, the company was in the spotlight after it announced that the OTC Rechargeable Hearing Aids from HearingAssist had been launched on CVS.com. However, that was not all. The OTC Hearing Aids from HearingAssist had also been launched in eight select CVC pharmacy outlets in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. The company had previously launched many of its products on CVS and CVS.com and the launch of the OTC Rechargeable Hearing Aids was the latest at the time. The presence of the product in CVS outlets and on the online platform would give it a much bigger customer base to address.

Minuteman Press Franchise in Naples, FL Shares Growth Strategies, Overcomes Hurricane Ian

Minuteman Press International Inc

David Ogden purchased the Minuteman Press franchise in Naples, Florida, in January 2021. In the two years since the purchase, David has successfully grown the business by expanding high-demand products and services as well as the key acquisition of independent printing business Sunbelt Printing in September 2022. David says, “The resulting sales growth in business after bringing Minuteman Press and Sunbelt Printing together is over 400% year-over-year.” Around the same time as the acquisition and planned relocation to a new 4,100 sq. ft. facility, Hurricane Ian hit Florida on September 28, 2022. David shares, “What an experience. I purchased Sunbelt Printing and found a new building to move into. The movers were scheduled to get us moved on September 28, 2022. It turns out it was the same day Hurricane Ian hit the Naples/Ft. Meyers area. Needless to say, the move was postponed, and all of our original planning was out the window. Finding contractors to get the electricity where we needed it and all the other moving parts involved had to be reorganized and rescheduled.” David continues, “We did it, and it took more time and patience than I expected, but we finally succeeded and are now in our 4,100-square-foot facility. We have grown really fast since the move and the acquisition, so it’s a good thing we were able to overcome Hurricane Ian and complete the move.” Today, Minuteman Press in Naples is located at 771 Airport Rd. N., Units 4 & 5, Naples, FL 34104. Journey from Cairo, Egypt to Naples, FL David Ogden first moved to Naples in 2013. He shares, “I owned a printing company in Cairo, Egypt, while my family and I lived there. When we left in 2013 and moved to Naples, I still owned the printing company in Egypt, and my brother-in-law took over day-to-day management. Today, I own Minuteman Press in Naples as well as two other companies not in the printing industry.” As someone with experience in the printing industry and as a business owner, David explains why he chose to join the Minuteman Press franchise family: “I chose Minuteman for several reasons. First, it was an existing franchise and a ‘fixer-upper.’ I also liked the company's history, the clear and present franchise support, and of course, their capped royalty structure. Finally, I knew from the day I started the training program for new owners with Mike Jutt and Pete Taglino that I had made the right decision and Minuteman Press was the right franchise brand for me.” David continues, “I did my homework before buying Minuteman Press in Naples, and I talked to many existing owners. All of them agreed the support received from Minuteman Press International was outstanding. After purchasing the business and when the paper supply chain issues occurred, it shook me at first. But then I had a great conversation with our Regional VP Larry Trimble, who helped put it in perspective and provided guidance. From that day forward, I have taken the ‘failure is not an option’ approach, and it has worked out great. I have fantastic support from our regional rep Mark Geller, and Larry Trimble. They are part of our team, know my business well, and are part of our success.” 3 Keys to Growing the Business David highlights the following three key ways he has grown the business over the past two years: Providing high-demand products and services, including direct mail. “ We have a large direct mail customer that does 6-10K pieces of first-class mail per day with us. We also have many smaller customers that do various-size mailings and Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) postcards. Mailing is about 20% of our business and a fast growth area, and so we are investing in direct mail even further with new equipment.” Listening to clients and meeting their needs. “I make time to meet and talk to customers at our front desk. I always ask new customers, ‘What other kind of printing do you use?’ About 70% of the time, I discover new potential business. For example, our very large direct mail customer came from asking that one simple question, which added $30K per month in new revenue.” Learning from other owners by attending the Minuteman Press World Expo. “I learned a great deal at the Minuteman Press World Expo last year and took those ideas back to my team. As a result, we have increased a lot of central facility work, which has benefited our business's overall mix. One of the best takeaways from the Expo was the President’s Million-Dollar Owners panel, where successful owners from all across Minuteman Press answer questions from other franchisees. I sat and listened to every one of them talking about buying independent printers and merging them into their own businesses. I decided then and there to go home and buy another printer. Six weeks later, I purchased Sunbelt Printing.” Acquisition of Sunbelt Printing The acquisition of Sunbelt Printing certainly proved to be a huge boost for Minuteman Press in Naples. David shares, “Minuteman Press sends out regular mailings to independent printers asking them if they have a plan to retire or have an exit strategy, and they explain the benefits of selling their business with the help of Minuteman Press International. The owner of Sunbelt Printing was looking to sell and was ready to retire. After many meetings with that owner and weeks of negotiating, I bought Sunbelt Printing and merged that business into my existing business. Both were about equal in revenue per month at the time of the merger, and as I said previously, the resulting growth in business after bringing the two together is over 400% year-over-year.” David continues, “Our regional rep Mark Geller helped coordinate and execute the merger of the two businesses. He also helped us with specialty contractors to get equipment like large cutters moved and re-installed. In addition, Mark regularly helps me train new employees.” What’s next for David Ogden and Minuteman Press in Naples? David answers, “We are excited to keep serving our clients with high quality printing, marketing, and mailing services. I love building relationships with our customers and look forward to continuing to grow together. I’m also in talks with another independent printer about buying their business. We will see where that leads us.” Minuteman Press in Naples is located at 771 Airport Rd. N., Units 4 & 5, Naples, FL 34104.

TOCCA Life Holdings Inc makes strategic acquisition of Be Climbing Inc, a growing real estate and indoor rock climbing sports complex developer

TOCCA Life Holdings, Inc.

TOCCA Life Holdings, Inc. (OTC: TLIF ) (“TLIF” or the “Company”) announced today that the Company recently acquired Be Climbing Inc. of Winter Park, FL. Be Climbing recently announced that the Company will be opening its first world-class indoor rock climbing gym just outside downtown Orlando, FL on a 7.02 acre property it acquired in the ever expanding city of Apopka, FL. The indoor rock climbing industry is exploding with growth after the sport made its first debut in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, which took place in 2021 due to the pandemic. Rock Climbing has now officially been added as an Olympic sport and will be part of the program in both the upcoming Paris 2024 and Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games. By way of comparison, Top Golf launched its first location by tracking golf balls and grew to become an international sports entertainment company. Be Climbing with development of its first location is focused on drawing inspiration from the Top Golf business model with a focus on the family oriented fun and family-focused activities centered around the indoor rock climbing sport and entertainment industry. Top Golf was acquired in 2021 for $2.6 billion by Callaway which has rebranded the company under the name Topgolf Callaway Brands Corp. (NYSE: MODG). In much the same way that Callaway’s strategy is to make golf accessible to a broader population that might otherwise not have the time, money, or access to traditional golf; Be Climbing seeks to make the sport of rock climbing accessible to a broader audience with indoor rock climbing facilities. The sport of outdoor rock climbing became very famous to a broader audience in recent years with the release of such movies as Free Solo, The Dawn Wall and Meru. Be Climbing is well underway in the development process of the highly desirable 7 acre Apopka, FL location, having acquired the property in March 2022. The Company presently is in the site plan review and approval process with the required city and county governmental agencies. The Company’s Apopka, FL project was recently featured Central Florida’s Growth Spotter publication. Stephen Carnes, President and CEO of TLIF, stated, “I am very pleased with today’s announcement and to bring Be Climbing Inc. public through TOCCA Life’s acquisition. I launched Be Climbing Inc. as a private company in 2021 in order to lay the groundwork and get much of the long drawn out processes in place and completed prior to bringing the company public. The months ahead will be very exciting, and I am happy to now have Be Climbing public through TLIF.” Carnes continued, “Be Climbing has already raised nearly $3 million in private transactions and owns outright the 7 acre property in Apopka. The Company additionally owns, free and clear without mortgage, two locally located income producing rental properties, so the Company has both revenues and assets. We will be seeking to have the Shell Status designation removed given today’s announcement of the Be Climbing acquisition. I look forward to providing additional details about Be Climbing in the near future.” Follow TOCCA Life Holdings, Inc. on Twitter at: @Tocca_Life Safe Harbor: This Press Release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
