SINGAPORE – Media OutRech Newswire – 8 September 2026 – Titanium Limousines, a Singapore-based luxury transport company, marks over a decade in business built on a founder’s journey from financial rock bottom to serving some of the country’s highest-profile transport needs.
Mercedes S Class Limousine Car in Singapore
Founded in 2012 by Mr Shah, Titanium Limousines began with a single vehicle and a $30,000 down payment funded almost entirely by his mother’s life savings. At the time, Mr Shah was unemployed, in debt, and driving other operators’ cars around the clock, often sleeping in the vehicle between jobs, just to stay afloat.
“If I take this, I can’t fail,” Mr Shah recalled telling himself the day his mother handed him her savings. That principle has shaped the company ever since.
From that single car, Titanium Limousines grew steadily, one vehicle at a time. Into a fleet serving corporate clients, event organisers, and families across Singapore. Over the years, the company has provided vehicles for foreign delegations and royalty, escorted by Traffic Police outriders, maintained ongoing arrangements with five-star hotels, and coordinated transport for major concerts and large-scale events.
The business was not without setbacks. When Singapore’s borders closed during the Covid-19 pandemic, bookings disappeared overnight and much of the fleet sat idle for nearly a year. Mr Shah returned to driving personally to rebuild operations from the ground up, a pattern of hands-on resilience that has defined the company since its earliest days.
Today, as ride-hailing apps have reshaped how people book transport, Titanium Limousines has positioned itself around what technology alone cannot replace: reliability, accountability, and a level of service built on direct, personal trust rather than an algorithm. The company offers airport transfers, corporate and VIP transport, and even wedding limousines, with a fleet spanning Mercedes S-Class, E-Class, and V-Class vehicles, Toyota Alphard/Vellfire, and larger vehicles for group travel.
“Transportation isn’t simply about getting someone from one point to another,” Mr Shah said. “It’s about delivering peace of mind, consistency, and the confidence that every journey is handled with care.”

HiDream-O1-Embodied tops RoboColiseum’s Robustness leaderboard, highlighting the model’s ability to maintain stable performance under complex real-world conditions
BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 8 September 2026 – HiDream.ai has officially launched HiDream-O1-Embodied, an embodied world model designed to advance physical interaction for embodied intelligence. Built on HiDream.ai’s native omni-modal technology strategy, the model enhances robots’ physical perception, dynamic prediction, and execution capabilities, enabling more robust interaction with the physical world.
The launch marks an important step in HiDream.ai’s broader effort to connect image, video, 3D, and action modalities within a unified architecture. By extending its world model capabilities from understanding and reasoning to action and execution, HiDream.ai is building a closed-loop technical foundation for native omni-modal intelligence.
Alongside its release, HiDream-O1-Embodied made its debut on RoboColiseum, an embodied intelligence model evaluation platform. The model ranked No. 1 on the platform’s Robustness leaderboard, achieving an average score of 0.692.
“We believe a complete world model foundation requires three core capabilities: omni-modal representation, causal reasoning, and physical-world modeling — all centered on the ability to express, understand, and generate within the real world,” said Ting Yao, CTO of HiDream.ai. “From the beginning, HiDream.ai’s native omni-modal world model architecture was designed to support unified representations across modalities, including action. The release of HiDream-O1-Embodied marks a critical milestone in our technology roadmap, as we move from simulating the world to enabling AI to operate in the real world.”
HiDream-O1-Embodied Tops RoboColiseum’s Robustness Leaderboard with a Score of 0.692
RoboColiseum is a standardized simulation benchmark for embodied intelligence models, designed to provide a multidimensional and reproducible evaluation framework. Through high-fidelity simulation tasks that closely approximate real-robot performance, the platform helps developers assess model strengths and limitations while continuously tracking progress across the field.
Open to universities, research institutions, model developers, and researchers worldwide, RoboColiseum continuously updates its evaluation results with the goal of establishing a reliable benchmark for embodied models.
Built on high-fidelity simulation environments that closely mirror real-world conditions, RoboColiseum evaluates models across four major dimensions: instruction following, spatial understanding, robustness, and general-purpose manipulation. These dimensions are assessed through four capability leaderboards and 78 high-fidelity simulation tasks.
Since entering internal testing, RoboColiseum has attracted dozens of leading models from China and abroad. Among its evaluation dimensions, Robustness is widely regarded as one of the most challenging. It measures a model’s stability and generalization under non-ideal conditions by varying backgrounds, lighting, materials, robot initial states, camera positions, and image quality, while also introducing diverse paraphrases of instructions.
In other words, this is not a test conducted in the “greenhouse” of a lab environment. It is designed to evaluate how well a model performs when faced with the kinds of uncertainty, variation, and interference that robots are likely to encounter in the real world.
HiDream-O1-Embodied ranked first on the Robustness leaderboard with a score of 0.692, supported by HiDream.ai’s native omni-modal foundation. A native omni-modal world model provides an inherent basis for cross-modal understanding, generation, and action. At the execution level, HiDream-O1-Embodied introduces advances across three core capabilities, enabling more precise instruction understanding, more reliable perception, and stronger resistance to environmental interference.
Language Understanding: Moving Beyond Keyword Matching
Traditional robots often interpret language instructions at the level of keyword matching. A robot may understand “Bring me the cup,” but change the phrasing to “Get me a cup” or “Hand me the cup,” and it may fail to respond correctly. HiDream-O1-Embodied covers an equivalent instruction space encompassing diverse verbs, sentence structures, and expressions. Rather than being constrained by specific wording, it focuses on the underlying intent. No matter how an instruction is phrased, the model can move beyond the literal wording and accurately identify what the user actually means.
Visual Perception: Multi-View Collaboration for Greater Reliability
In the physical world, a robot’s visual input is rarely ideal. Camera positions may shift, calibration accuracy can change over time, and individual visual feeds may be obstructed or disrupted. HiDream-O1-Embodied integrates information from multiple viewpoints, allowing different visual channels to complement one another rather than relying on a single fixed perspective. When part of the visual information becomes inaccurate or temporarily unavailable, the model can still leverage other viewpoints to understand the scene, assess the task, and continue execution. This transforms the system from one where “a single failure causes the entire system to fail” into one where “local limitations do not prevent the system from operating as a whole.”
High Fault Tolerance: Learning to Execute Reliably in an Imperfect World
Most models are trained primarily on “perfect” data — clear images, complete frames, and standardized viewpoints. The real world, however, rarely provides such ideal conditions. Changes in lighting, image degradation, occlusion, signal fluctuations, and scene variation are all common challenges robots face during real-world operation.
HiDream-O1-Embodied proactively introduces a wide range of non-ideal conditions during training. By repeatedly exposing the model to incomplete, noisy, and unstable information, the system learns to make reliable decisions based on limited visual cues.
This approach means the model is not optimized solely for peak performance under ideal conditions. Instead, it is designed to maintain stable task execution in complex, dynamic environments. Its fault tolerance is not limited to any single type of visual anomaly. When faced with changes in lighting, object appearance, scene layout, or visual quality, the model can make more flexible use of available information and reduce the impact of environmental variation on execution.
For HiDream-O1-Embodied, the real measure of capability is not simply whether it performs well when everything is clear, but whether it can continue to complete tasks reliably when conditions are far from ideal.
Model + Data: Building a “Real-World Foundation + Generative Augmentation” Data Production Paradigm
The ability to perform reliably under imperfect conditions does not emerge by chance. It points to a fundamental challenge in embodied intelligence: the cognitive boundaries of a model are largely shaped by the data it can access.
High-quality embodied data remains one of the scarcest and most decisive resources in the field. HiDream.ai’s dual-driven “model + data” strategy is a key factor behind the performance of HiDream-O1-Embodied on the Robustness leaderboard.
The core breakthrough lies in making data production an integral part of model iteration. To achieve this, HiDream.ai has developed a “real-world foundation + generative augmentation” data production paradigm. Instead of passively consuming existing data, the model actively participates in creating and refining the data it needs to improve.
A collaboration with Noitom provides a representative example. Using Noitom’s high-precision human motion-capture data as the real-world foundation, HiDream.ai leverages its native omni-modal capabilities to achieve 100x-scale data augmentation and refinement.
Starting from a single real-world motion sample, the model can generate physically consistent video variations by changing variables such as background environments, lighting conditions, object forms, and scene configurations. This produces a large and diverse set of training samples while preserving underlying physical constraints.
The key to this mechanism is that the model acts as both the “student” and the “teacher.” It generates targeted training samples based on the capabilities it needs to improve, creating a growth flywheel in which data and models continuously reinforce one another. This data-model flywheel helps HiDream-O1-Embodied maintain exceptional robustness when confronted with severe disturbances and real-world variability.
HiDream.ai’s Native Omni-Modal World Model Matrix Continues to Take Shape
Less than a month ago, HiDream.ai launched HiDream-O1-World, an interactive world model that took the top spot on the Navi sub-leaderboard of WBench, an interactive video world model benchmark, with an average score of 80.9.
Interactive world models address “understanding and reasoning,” enabling AI to develop a comprehensive understanding of space, time, motion, and object relationships in digital environments. Embodied world models, by contrast, address “operation and execution,” enabling AI to perform real-world tasks in physical environments. Together, the two form a powerful complement to one another and lay a solid foundation for the development of native omni-modal world models.
As Dr. Tao Mei, Founder and CEO of HiDream.ai, previously noted, the key to the next generation of foundation model competition lies not in improving the capabilities of individual modalities alone, but in moving from single-modal to multimodal intelligence, and ultimately toward natively unified omni-modal intelligence.
From HiDream-O1-Image to HiDream-O1-World and now HiDream-O1-Embodied, HiDream.ai is steadily building a model family spanning vision models, interactive world models, and embodied world models. This not only demonstrates the expanding capabilities of its native omni-modal technology across multiple domains, but also reflects the technology’s strong capacity for intrinsic evolution.
At a pivotal moment when advances in world model technology are accelerating, HiDream.ai is continuing to accelerate innovation and push the field forward.

Global research explores how newer wealth, continued business ownership, and family stewardship influence philanthropic practices among Asia’s wealthiest families
Roughly 94 percent of Asia‘s wealthiest families are first- or second-generation wealth holders
Approximately 95 percent of Asia’s wealthiest families retain control of the businesses that generated their wealth
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 8 September 2026 – As private wealth continues to expand globally and an estimated US$74 trillion is expected to transfer between generations over the next 20 to 25 years, understanding how wealthy families approach philanthropy is becoming increasingly important. New research from The Bridgespan Group, based on analysis of 186 of the wealthiest individuals and families across 20 economies spanning Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas, sheds light on how the world’s wealthiest families give, what they fund, how they organise their philanthropy, and how they seek to create change.
“This research comes at a pivotal moment for family philanthropy, especially as private wealth continues to grow,” said Xueling Lee, co-author and partner at Bridgespan. “Our research helps fill a knowledge gap on how the world’s wealthiest families organise their philanthropy and pursue impact, and finds distinguishing characteristics in Asia.”
In Asia, where founders and second-generation leaders often remain closely involved in the businesses that generated their wealth, philanthropy is frequently connected to broader questions of stewardship, business ownership, succession, and community engagement. The research finds that these differences are shaped by factors including the relative newness of wealth, continued business ownership, and the close connection between family, business, and philanthropy. Bridgespan’s research on corporate giving highlights this dynamic: founder- or family-linked companies account for 11 of Asia’s 20 largest corporate funders, compared with four among the world’s 20 largest corporate funders.
“Beyond the scale of their giving, many families bring a long-term perspective, deep personal commitment, and relationships across sectors built over decades,” said Brian San, secretary-general of the Institute of Philanthropy. “These qualities are particularly relevant in Asia, where family-owned businesses remain a powerful force and philanthropy is often closely connected to family stewardship, business leadership, and community engagement. The report highlights how these characteristics can help families catalyse collaboration, support innovation, and contribute to meaningful impact over time.”
“This research confirms what we have seen firsthand: family philanthropy has driven some of today’s boldest solutions and most pioneering research. These funders are uniquely positioned to take risks and build coalitions that can solve big, complex problems at their root,” said Deepali Khanna, senior vice president and head of Asia (division) at The Rockefeller Foundation. “Some of the work we are proudest of, like the Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet, started because family philanthropies were willing to commit early and jointly at a time when no single institution could have carried it alone.”
While the report finds that wealthy families around the world share many common philanthropic behaviours, it also identifies several characteristics that distinguish family philanthropy in Asia.
Asia’s wealth is newer: Approximately 94 percent of wealth held by Asia’s wealthiest families sits with first- or second-generation wealth holders, compared with roughly 85 percent in high-income economies outside Asia. The relative newness of wealth influences how wealth is held, the degree of family involvement in operating businesses, the availability of liquid assets, and the form philanthropy takes.
Asian families retain tighter control of their businesses: Approximately 95 percent of Asian families maintain control of the businesses that generated their wealth, compared with roughly 68 percent outside Asia. Where wealth remains closely tied to an operating business, philanthropic decisions often sit alongside broader considerations such as government relationships, succession planning, and reputation.
Families fund remarkably similar issues across regions: Education, health, and support for marginalised and vulnerable populations are among the top issues supported by wealthy families. In Asia, families are more likely to support elderly care, religion, and sports, while families from other regions more frequently fund science and technology initiatives, including those related to artificial intelligence.
Few families publicly report outcomes from their giving: More than 80 percent of families in Asia publicly report outputs from their giving, such as schools built or teachers trained, compared with just 45 percent of high-income families outside Asia. However, outcome reporting, such as learning gains or graduation rates, remains uncommon across all groups.
Beyond examining how families give, the companion report How the World’s Wealthiest Families Give explores approaches that help families translate their resources and influence into meaningful and sustained impact:
Taking risks others cannot or will not: Families often have the autonomy to move from decision to deployment more readily than institutional or corporate funders. In Singapore, for example, the Lien Foundation made a decade-long push into early childhood development, a sector that few had championed when it began. Its sustained work alongside government and other stakeholders contributed to broader sector development over time.
Facilitating collective action: Families with trusted relationships across sectors can bring together stakeholders who might not otherwise gather, helping fragmented efforts to evolve into coordinated action. In 2024, the Jollibee Group Foundation, led by Tony and Grace Tan Caktiong, partnered with the Provincial Government of Basilan, the Zuellig Family Foundation, and the League of Corporate Foundations to expand its school feeding programme. Together, the partnership supports the delivery of nutritious meals to nearly 25,000 children in 250 schools.
Mobilising multiple types of capital: A family with authority across philanthropic and investment decisions may be able to move capital across different instruments with fewer external negotiations, board approvals, or fiduciary obligations to outside investors.

Student Flag-guard Team debuts new signature uniforms, embodying vigour and a sense of mission
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 7 September 2026 – The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) today (7 September) commenced the 2026/27 academic year with a solemn Flag-raising Ceremony this morning, with the CUHK Flag-guard Team, clad in student-designed new uniforms, conducting the ceremony – demonstrating vigour and a sense of mission. The national flag, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region flag and the CUHK flag were solemnly raised to the national anthem, marking the start of the new academic year.
It was followed by the Inauguration Ceremony for Undergraduates 2026. The events come at a landmark moment for the University, following its recent rise to 18th place in the QS World University Rankings and the official launch of its new strategic plan, CUHK 2026–2030: Leaping to Greatness.
The Flag-raising and Flag-guard Team Recognition Ceremonies
The Flag-raising Ceremony was attended by more than 130 guests, including the Hon Alice Mak Mei-kuen, Secretary for Home and Youth Affairs of the HKSAR Government, Ms Wan Ning, Deputy Director-General of the Department of Education and Youth Affairs of the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in the HKSAR, Professor Hon Jasper Tsang Yok-sing, Honorary Professor in CUHK’s Faculty of Social Science, Dr Norman Chan Tak-lam, Vice-Chairman of the CUHK Council, Professor Dennis Lo Yuk-ming, CUHK Vice-Chancellor and President, alongside Legislative Council members, members of the University Council, senior management, representatives of Colleges and Faculties, staff, students and alumni.

Following the Flag-raising Ceremony, the University held the Recognition Ceremony for the CUHK Flag-guard Team. Miss Mak, Dr Chan and Professor Lo presented 18 Appointment Certificates and 5 Certificates of Appreciation respectively. In addition, a student received the “Best CUHK Flag-guard Team Member Award 2025-2026” in recognition of her outstanding performance and dedication to the team.
Three awards for the Flag-guard Team Uniform Design Competition were also presented. The final design of the new uniforms was developed from the winning concepts of the champion students and further refined with valuable input from Professor Lo. Featuring CUHK’s signature purple and gold – representing devotion and loyalty, and perseverance and resolution, respectively. The new uniforms reflect the team’s professionalism and vibrant spirit, while embodying the youth’s loyalty and commitment to the nation, Hong Kong and the University, as well as their steadfast dedication to promoting patriotic values.
Navigating the AI era through virtue and ethics
CUHK holds the Inauguration Ceremony for Undergraduates 2026
At the Inauguration Ceremony for Undergraduates 2026 held at Sir Run Run Shaw Hall, Professor Lo welcomed the incoming cohort, encouraging them to regard CUHK as their second home for intellectual and personal growth.
Addressing how students could navigate the artificial intelligence (AI) era, Professor Lo emphasised the importance of developing both technical capabilities and sound moral judgement. He encouraged students to use AI responsibly, with honesty, independent judgement and respect for others. He noted that, as routine tasks became increasingly automated, human strengths such as empathy, critical reasoning and moral judgement would become even more important, highlighting why the University motto, “Through Learning and Temperance to Virtue”, was more relevant today than ever.
Professor Lo added that a journey at CUHK would open up opportunities for students to become responsible global citizens, “Social responsibility begins with an awareness that our actions and attitudes can make a difference. As an ancient Chinese saying goes, ‘A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step’ (「千里之行，始於足下」). The idea of changing the world may seem daunting. Yet social responsibility often starts with small, everyday actions on campus and in the local community: volunteering, supporting community initiatives, embracing sustainability or extending kindness to those around us. Meaningful change is built one step at a time: start locally while thinking globally, using knowledge and talent to contribute to the common good.”
Professor Lo invited students to actively participate in the journey of shaping CUHK’s future trajectory, adding that their curiosity, integrity, fresh ideas and willingness to contribute would play a vital role in the University’s development.
The 268-room hotel – Dusit’s third branded property in Malaysia – will provide a convenient, centrally located base for exploring Ipoh’s heritage streets, food traditions, and dramatic limestone landscapes
BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 7 September 2026 – Dusit Hotels and Resorts, the hotel arm of Dusit International, one of Thailand’s leading hotel and property development companies, will open Dusit Princess Ipoh on 1 October 2026, bringing its distinctive Thai-inspired gracious hospitality to Ipoh, the capital of Malaysia’s Perak state.
A Deluxe Queen Room at Dusit Princess Ipoh, featuring contemporary comforts and locally inspired artwork that reflects the distinctive character of the city.
Located approximately 200 km north of Kuala Lumpur and shaped by the late-19th-century tin-mining boom that transformed the city into an important commercial hub, Ipoh is home to a historic centre where colonial-era shophouses, traditional kopitiams, and small local businesses preserve the character of the city’s past.
Its multicultural culinary traditions – from longstanding dim sum restaurants to celebrated Ipoh white coffee, whose distinctive flavour comes from beans traditionally roasted with margarine – have also made the city a draw for food-focused travellers. Meanwhile, the dramatic limestone formations and cave temples of the surrounding Kinta Valley invite visitors to combine cultural discovery with nature excursions and outdoor exploration.
Under its new identity as Dusit Princess Ipoh, the established 268-room property – owned by Plenitude Berhad, a Bursa Malaysia-listed group with interests in property development, property investment, and hospitality – is ideally positioned to help travellers discover the city’s heritage, culinary scene, and natural attractions, while offering the comfort and flexibility required for city breaks, extended stays, business travel, and events.
Set beside the Perak Turf Club, a long-established centre for thoroughbred racing, the hotel is less than five minutes by car from Ipoh city centre. Sultan Azlan Shah Airport is approximately 10 minutes away and offers direct flights from Singapore.
Reflecting the practical, welcoming character of Dusit’s upper-midscale Dusit Princess brand, accommodation spans five room categories, ranging from 25 sq m Superior Rooms to 58 sq m Family Suites.
Rooms offer views across the Perak Turf Club or city skyline and include high-speed Wi-Fi, smart TVs, quality bedding, in-room safes, and dedicated workspaces. To support longer stays and give families greater flexibility, Family Rooms and Family Suites also include kitchenettes.
Facilities include an outdoor swimming pool, Kids Club, self-service laundry, accessible rooms, a prayer room, and complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the hotel. Guests also have access to a 6,580 sq ft fitness centre offering extensive workout facilities and extended opening hours.
The Atrium, the hotel’s naturally lit all-day dining restaurant, offers sweeping views of Ipoh’s limestone hills and cityscape. It serves a buffet breakfast featuring local and regional favourites such as nasi lemak, roti canai, kway teow goreng, and dim sum, alongside continental options. Local and international dishes are available throughout the day. The lobby coffee shop, meanwhile, serves speciality teas, coffees, and juices alongside a selection of pastries and desserts.
For meetings, conferences, weddings, and social occasions, the hotel offers three flexible venues providing approximately 964 sq m of event space.
The principal venue is the 496.8 sq m Kinta Ballroom, which can host up to 400 guests theatre-style or 300 guests for round-table events. Equipped with an LED screen, dynamic sound system, and adjustable lighting, it is supported by the 383 sq m Kampar Hall and 84 sq m Gopeng Room, which provide additional options for smaller gatherings.
“With accommodation and facilities designed to meet the needs of leisure travellers, families, business guests, government delegations, and event groups, Dusit Princess Ipoh represents a compelling opportunity to introduce the welcoming character of the Dusit Princess brand to a city with such a strong identity and well-established appeal,” said Mr Chanin Donavanik, Group Chief Executive Officer, Dusit International. “Perak welcomed 23.6 million domestic visitors in 2025, making it one of Malaysia’s three most visited states. This strong demand, together with Ipoh’s convenient access from Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, gives the city considerable potential to attract more international visitors. Working with Plenitude Berhad, we are building on the strengths of an established property to support that growth while helping guests connect more deeply with the destination.”
Madam Elsie Chua, Non-Independent Non-Executive Chairman, Plenitude Berhad, said, “Dusit Princess Ipoh marks a new chapter for this established property and for Plenitude’s hospitality portfolio. Building on the property’s longstanding presence in Ipoh, we are delighted to bring the distinctive warmth of Thai-inspired gracious hospitality to the city through a recognised international brand, while embracing the character, culture, and local flavours that make Ipoh unique. We look forward to creating a welcoming gateway for guests to experience Ipoh – combining the qualities and standards associated with the Dusit Princess brand with the authentic spirit of the destination.”
From the hotel, guests can easily reach Ipoh Old Town, including Concubine Lane, a lively historic alley lined with small shops and stalls, and Kong Heng Square, a restored heritage enclave housing independent businesses. Local dining districts and commercial areas are also within easy reach.
To help guests explore further, the hotel’s Discover the Soul of Ipoh programme brings together locally led activities spanning heritage, food, nature, well-being, and family experiences.
Highlights include photographic walks through Ipoh’s heritage streets, visits to Tambun pomelo orchards and limestone cave temples, food trails featuring Ipoh white coffee and traditional desserts, and workshops in Labu Sayong pottery, a traditional Perak craft. Family cooking classes and evening wildlife adventures are also available.
To celebrate its opening, Dusit Princess Ipoh is offering stays from RM 230 (approximately USD 57) per room per night, including RM 50 (approximately USD 12) in daily food and beverage credit. The offer is valid for stays from 1 October through 31 December 2026. Terms and conditions apply.

HUAFULI today officially announced its full-scale entry into the Hong Kong market, establishing its presence in the heart of Lockhart Road, Wan Chai—renowned as “Hong Kong’s Building Materials Street.” A grand opening ceremony was held for its brand-new 2,800 sq. ft. flagship exhibition hall, the “HUAFULI Hong Kong Home Art Gallery”. The brand offers an Integrated Door-Wall-Cabinet solution and localized services, using Hong Kong as a strategic pivot to expand into the global market!

30 Years of Dedication: From Single-Product Champion to System Service Provider; Executive President Xie Zhikun Reveals Deep “Hong Kong Ties”
Founded in 1995, Huali Shares was listed on the SSE main board in 2017. In its early years, the brand took the lead in breaking foreign technological monopolies, spearheading the formulation of China’s furniture edge banding industry standards, and achieving the highest national sales for ten consecutive years. Over 30 years of development, the brand has successfully upgraded from an edge banding sales champion to a whole-house system service provider encompassing decorative panels, edge banding, and home hardware. Amid the transformative challenges faced by the home building materials industry in recent years, HUAFULI has defied market trends with a robust growth of over 50%, demonstrating remarkable business resilience and market leadership.
During his opening speech, Mr. Xie Zhikun, CEO and Co-founder of Dongguan Huali Industries Co., Ltd., shared emotionally: “Thirty years ago, we started with a single edge banding strip, proactively formulating the industry standards for furniture edge banding in China and maintaining the number one sales position nationwide for thirty consecutive years. With this dedication, we successfully upgraded from a ‘single-product champion’ to a complete system covering decorative panels, edge banding, and home hardware. Even when the industry faced challenges recently, HUAFULI still achieved a 50% growth against the trend. In fact, our connection with Hong Kong began back in 2008 when we established a subsidiary here. Hong Kong people are extremely particular about home quality, placing special emphasis on eco-friendliness, moisture resistance, and health, which are precisely HUAFULI’s strengths. The ‘HUAFULI Hong Kong Home Art Gallery’ unveiled today is not just an ordinary showroom, but a home art gallery that offers peace of mind and lifestyle aesthetics. In the future, we will collaborate with all sectors in Hong Kong using solid products, a professional team, and localized services, opening a new chapter where quality and craftsmanship parallel each other—basing ourselves in Hong Kong, connecting with the Mainland, and radiating globally!”
Mr. Ken So, Sales Manager of the Hong Kong Region, Huafuli, Addresses Three Industry Pain Points, Eliminates Northbound Travel Hassles, and Sets a HK$100 Million Sales Target
In an exclusive media interview, Mr. Ken So, Sales Manager of the Hong Kong Region, Huafuli, deeply analyzed the business logic and localized strategy behind the brand’s entry into Hong Kong:
Eliminating Cross-border Travel Fatigue to Significantly Boost Deal Success Rates: Mr. So pointed out that local interior designers and homeowners were often limited to brochure samples or had to endure tiring trips to Mainland factories to view actual materials. “We established ourselves directly in the core area of Lockhart Road, Wan Chai, building a 2,800 sq. ft. high-spec exhibition hall. Designers can now bring clients at any time to view 1:1 physical large panels and finished door-wall-cabinet displays. The art gallery does not retail directly to homeowners but serves as a shared design base for Hong Kong designers and contractors, addressing eco-concerns on the spot and significantly improving local designers’ deal success rates.”
Insisting on a 100% Direct-Sale Model with Unified National Pricing—”Not a Cent Added”: Differentiating from traditional building material brands that rely on multi-tiered agents, Mr. So emphasized HUAFULI’s commitment to a direct-sale system: “Whether in the Mainland or Hong Kong, HUAFULI is directly operated by the group, ensuring high consistency in product quality, after-sales service, and pricing. Although we have set up a top-tier showroom in the prime location of Wan Chai and hired a star spokesperson, the panel prices remain unified nationally with the Mainland—’not a cent added’—truly yielding benefits to local partners with sincerity.”
Eco-friendly Panels Replacing Traditional Laminates; Setting a HK$100 Million Sales Target: Mr. So analyzed that eco-friendly decorative panels are in a golden growth period in Hong Kong, gradually replacing traditional fireproof laminates and veneers. “We see massive market potential, and HUAFULI has set a target of achieving HK$100 million in sales in Hong Kong within 3 to 5 years! The Hong Kong market is strict and aligned with international standards. We are using Hong Kong as a touchstone and strategic hub for adapting to global standards, and will further expand into more overseas markets in the future.”
Strong Supply Chain Backing to Achieve “Zero Minimum Order, Next-Day Delivery” Express Fulfillment: Relying on six major production bases in the Mainland (totaling 600,000 square meters) and a network of 14 branch warehouses, HUAFULI breaks the traditional months-long waiting period for imported building materials. It provides the local industry with a localized, one-stop delivery service characterized by “zero minimum order, zero inventory requirements, same-day response, and next-day delivery,” greatly alleviating the financial and warehousing pressures on local partners.
Global Debut of German-Japanese Nano-Microcrystalline EBH Technology; Dual Ultimate Eco-certifications Lead New Trends in HK Building Materials
With Hong Kong’s increasingly stringent requirements for green buildings, indoor air quality, and ESG standards, HUAFULI brings a high-specification product system suitable for the Hong Kong environment:
Hong Kong Debut of the German-Japanese EBH Series: Combining German plasma spraying and Japanese precision light-curing technologies, this series boasts top-tier performance across six dimensions: anti-fingerprint (90% reduction), scratch resistance (2H+ hardness), anti-mildew and antibacterial (99.5%+), and yellowing resistance. Its surface presents an advanced, luxurious 5° matte gloss, perfectly adapting to Hong Kong’s humid climate.
Dual Highest Eco-certifications: “ENF Grade + JIS JAS F4-star”: Showcasing top-tier eco-friendly panels (including Particle Board, Multi-layer Plywood, and Oriented Strand Board, etc.) that have comprehensively passed the dual certifications of the national highest environmental standard “ENF Grade” (formaldehyde emission ≤0.025 mg/m³) and Japan’s highest environmental standard “F☆☆☆☆ (F4-Star).”
Recognized by the “Hong Kong ECO Mark”: The products have obtained the Hong Kong Green Label Scheme certification, achieving extremely low TVOC and formaldehyde emissions from the source. This directly addresses the pain points of Hong Kong’s indoor air quality and aligns with the high standards for ESG inspection by developers.
Patented Laser Edge Banding 2.0 and colour matched door-wall-cabinet system: The entire series comes standard with the original factory’s seamless laser edge banding technology, achieving panel edge banding in-one. HUAFULI particularly advocates the “Integrated Door-Wall-Cabinet” concept, where interior doors, wall panels, and custom cabinets are all made from the same original factory batch of substrates with identical colors and textures. This achieves zero color difference and a highly unified whole-house aesthetics with perfectly extended textures, providing unparalleled one-stop quality solutions when paired with original factory moldings and hardware components.
Star Spokesperson Mr. Wayne Lai Yiu Cheung Attends the Event, Heavily Endorses Dual Ultimate Eco-friendliness at Contract Signing
The atmosphere at the grand opening ceremony was vibrant, with traditional auspicious lion eye-dotting and lion dance performances kicking off the splendid prologue for the “HUAFULI Hong Kong Home Art Gallery.” Brand Spokesperson Mr. Wayne Lai Yiu Cheung conducted a grand contract signing ceremony on site and joined management guests for a celebratory group toast and photo.
