Innomotics wins several orders to provide motor and drive technology for eLNG projects, totaling a volume in the higher double-digit million EUR range
Innomotics advances electrification of LNG production with eLNG solutions based on electric drive systems
Significant operational, environmental, and financial benefits compared to conventional turbine-based LNG plants
Enables decarbonization and supports global transition to sustainable energy systems
NUREMBERG, GERMANY – Newsaktuell – 11 May 2026 – Innomotics, a globally leading supplier of electric motor and large drive systems, has won several major orders for electrified LNG projects in Europe, Canada, Middle East and Australia. The total volume for all orders is in the higher double-digit million EUR range.
Innomotics powers the world’s first all-electric eLNG plant in Hammerfest, Norway, for 19 years / Innomotics
Innomotics is driving the transformation of LNG production with its innovative eLNG solutions. By replacing conventional gas turbine-based liquefaction processes with electrified drive systems, LNG operators can significantly increase efficiency, reduce emissions, and lower operating costs.
As global demand for cleaner energy continues to grow, LNG remains a key component of the energy mix. However, traditional LNG production is energy-intensive and associated with high greenhouse gas emissions. eLNG addresses these challenges by using electricity – including renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and hydropower – to liquefy natural gas, enabling a more sustainable and efficient production process.
The electrification of LNG plants is a key step in reducing reliance on fossil fuels and achieving decarbonization targets. Electric drive systems from Innomotics offer system efficiencies of up to 95%, significantly exceeding the performance of conventional gas turbines. At the same time, operators benefit from reduced maintenance requirements, with systems capable of running up to five years without scheduled shutdowns, and increased plant availability of up to 99.9%.
By integrating high-voltage motors and variable speed drives across the entire LNG value chain – from compression and refrigeration to storage and gas treatment – Innomotics enables a fully electrified production process. When powered by renewable energy, eLNG solutions can eliminate direct CO₂ emissions and reduce annual emissions by up to 500,000 tons, supporting operators in meeting regulatory requirements and sustainability goals.
“Electrification is the foundation for a sustainable future of LNG production. With our eLNG solutions, we enable operators to significantly improve efficiency, reduce emissions, and enhance reliability across the entire process. This not only strengthens competitiveness but also accelerates the transition towards net-zero operations,” says Michael Reichle, CEO of Innomotics.
He adds, “Operators are under increasing pressure to balance sustainability with profitability. Our electric drive systems deliver a compelling business case by lowering lifecycle costs, minimizing downtime, and ensuring maximum operational performance in demanding LNG environments.”
Recently awarded eLNG Projects
Pioneering eLNG success for Hammerfest in Norway:
Hammerfest is home to the world’s first all-electric LNG plant, operational since 2007. Equipped with two 65 MW refrigeration compressor drives, the facility has achieved over 15 years of successful operation with minimal maintenance and an exceptional availability rate of 99.88%. This project set a new standard for reliability and efficiency in the LNG sector, proving the long-term value of electric drive systems in demanding environments
Innovative floating LNG project in Canada:
This project represents the world’s first floating all-electric LNG facility. With four complete drive train systems of 35 MW each powering the main refrigeration compressors, the plant is designed to export three million tons of eLNG per year. The project demonstrates the scalability and flexibility of Innomotics technology, delivering high performance and low emissions in a unique offshore setting
Setting the global benchmark for an LNG plant in Qatar:
This LNG plant features multiple 60 MW and 45 MW trains, each with three refrigeration compressors. As the world’s LNG market leader, Qatar relies on Innomotics systems to deliver maximum availability and operational excellence. This large-scale deployment showcases our ability to support complex, high-capacity facilities with proven reliability and efficiency.
Lowest emissions through renewables at an LNG project in Canada:
The LNG plant is powered by renewable hydropower and features 50 MW LCI eLNG trains. The facility is designed to produce 2.1 million tons of LNG per year with the lowest emissions in the global LNG export industry. This reference highlights the environmental benefits of integrating electric drive technology with renewable energy sources.
Driving sustainability with carbon capture at a CCUS LNG project in Australia:
This project utilizes multiple medium voltage motors and drive systems totalling 297 MW for LNG production, combined with a carbon capture project. This installation demonstrates the compatibility of Innomotics solutions with advanced sustainability initiatives, enabling operators to reduce their carbon footprint while maintaining process efficiency

The new warehouse enhances the company’s footprint in providing companies support in specialized goods logistics
The addition is in line with the company’s plans in Asia Pacific to better support present and future storage needs for general commodities and specialized goods
BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 11 May 2026 – Rhenus Group, a leading global logistics provider, has opened a new dangerous goods warehouse in Bangkok, Thailand. Strategically located near key ports, and next to its current KM19 warehouse in Bangna Trad, the new warehouse aims to strengthen its capabilities in Thailand, as well as the region, in specialized warehousing services.
Thailand’s warehousing market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7% from 2023 to 2028.

The 5,817 sqm purpose-built Dangerous Goods compliant facility connects conveniently to key logistics infrastructure and its existing KM19 warehouse, optimizing operational efficiency for its customers. The warehouse will open in phases from now onwards, to support companies with a mix of dangerous and non-dangerous goods cargo, enabling integrated storage and handling within one site while maintaining clear segregation and compliance requirements. Key features of the warehouse include 90-minute fire-rated walls and doors, explosion-proof electrical components, fire pumps and sprinklers rated for dangerous goods and explosion-proof ventilation.
Marcus Fornell, Regional Head of Rhenus APAC Warehousing Solutions, said, “As more manufacturing businesses incorporate the China+1 strategy and increase capabilities in Southeast Asia, Rhenus is scaling up its presence in this region to support the varied storage needs – from general to specialized manufacturing industries’ needs. As one of our regional hubs, we will continue to invest in Thailand with more flexible resource allocation solutions.”

SHANGHAI, CHINA – EQS Newswire – 11 May 2026 – For Mother’s Day 2026, SAINT BELLA, the luxury maternity and infant care brand, chose a more intimate approach. Through an artistic collaboration with American contemporary artist Katie Rodgers, the brand transformed the 28-day postpartum journey into five artful keepsakes — physical expressions of its enduring belief: to love the baby, you must first love the mother. In doing so, SAINT BELLA moved beyond conventional celebration and offered something deeper: recognition, understanding, and quiet reverence for the postpartum period.
Mother’s Day has long been framed as a season of gratitude — a moment to thank mothers for their devotion and to celebrate the grandeur of maternal love. Yet this perspective often remains incomplete, viewing motherhood primarily from the outside, and too rarely from within. The postpartum experience — those fragile, transformative weeks after childbirth — is too often glossed over in the rush to celebrate the arrival of a new life.
At the heart of the campaign is SAINT BELLA Lullaby, a co-created artwork with Rodgers. Known for her nature-inspired, impressionistic style, Rodgers renders swans, fledglings, and flowering branches in soft, dreamlike strokes — evoking the gentle, protective atmosphere that a new mother needs during her postpartum recovery. The work becomes the visual and emotional nucleus of the project — a quiet, luminous world shaped by tenderness rather than commerce.
In SAINT BELLA’s philosophy, motherhood is not a single triumphant moment, but a gradual, vulnerable, and deeply human passage — and the postpartum phase is its most intimate chapter. Through this collaboration, the brand reframes that passage as something worthy of ritual, beauty, and lasting memory.
Beyond Praise: The Desire to Be Understood
Over the past eight years, SAINT BELLA has consistently asked a more nuanced question: what, precisely, should be remembered about becoming a mother? The answer centers on the postpartum experience — a period that is often medically managed but rarely emotionally honored.
The answer begins with a feeling many new mothers know intimately — the sense of becoming a “tool” in the intensity of newborn care, valued for function rather than presence. During the postpartum weeks, women are often praised for their sacrifice but rarely asked how they are truly feeling. SAINT BELLA’s campaign gently resists this reduction. It proposes that becoming a mother is not an event to be staged, but an experience to be honored over time — especially in the vulnerable postpartum days. Today’s women do not only wish to be celebrated; they long to be truly seen and understood.
A World Rendered in Softness: Katie Rodgers’ Vision for the Postpartum Mother
To translate this philosophy into visual language, SAINT BELLA partnered with Katie Rodgers. Her signature imagery — swans, chicks, deer, and delicate blossoms — creates an atmosphere of renewal, quiet abundance, and gentle protection — exactly the emotional landscape a mother needs during her postpartum journey.
The resulting piece, SAINT BELLA Lullaby, serves as more than an artwork; it is an atmosphere — a sanctuary where the postpartum mother is restored to the center, where her recovery is honored, and where the baby’s earliest days are enveloped in beauty.
From Service to Keepsake: Honoring the 28-Day Postpartum Journey
The 28 days of the postpartum journey consist of fleeting, often invisible moments — tender, repetitive, and profoundly personal. These are the moments that define early motherhood — a middle-of-the-night feeding, a quiet tear, the first time a mother looks in the mirror and barely recognizes herself. SAINT BELLA transforms these moments into tangible keepsakes that can be touched, held, and cherished for years to come.
The 100% Cotton Nursing Dress — Reimagined in premium natural cotton with thoughtful side openings for nursing and delicate embroidery at the hem, this dress combines ease with quiet elegance — honoring the postpartum mother’s body with both comfort and dignity.
The Custom Walnut Chopsticks Gift Set — A quietly powerful gesture that acknowledges a subtle truth: during the postpartum period, mothers are so often expected to nourish others while neglecting themselves. By elevating the mother’s own dining utensils into refined walnut art chopsticks, SAINT BELLA affirms that her nourishment matters too.
The Artistic Umbilical Cord Bottle — The severing of the umbilical cord marks the first tender separation in the postpartum journey. Preserved in a translucent, jewel-like vessel, this fleeting fragment becomes a ceremonial keepsake — a symbol of origin, connection, and the beginning of two separate journeys.
The Newborn Handmade Soap Gift Box — With the guidance of a dedicated concierge, mothers may choose from 12 custom molds and 6 natural fragrance notes to create a soap that is uniquely theirs. In the midst of the postpartum transition, the process offers a moment of tactile authorship and calm reflection.
Art Coloring — Mothers are invited to bring their personal vision of the “Garden of Time” to life, blending colors and lines in a gentle, therapeutic journey co-created with artist Katie Rodgers. Each brushstroke becomes a moment of self-reflection; every splash of color, an emotional release that blooms freely on the page.
“We are not simply offering a room and a care service — we are offering a stretch of time that deserves to be remembered,” said Minee Lin , co-founder of SAINT BELLA. “The postpartum period is not a problem to be solved, but a passage to be honored.”
With this Mother’s Day initiative, SAINT BELLA further establishes itself not merely as a postpartum care provider, but as a curator of a more elevated, intentional way of living. In its Garden of Time, there is no urgency, no excess, only softness, ceremony, and the unmistakable feeling of being deeply held — as a mother, and as oneself — through every stage of the postpartum journey.

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 11 May 2026 – Morinaga Milk Industry Co., Ltd. (Morinaga), a Japan-based nutrition company and Japan’s leading dairy producer, today launched its maternal milk, Mori-Mama, an advanced maternal product developed to support women from preconception through pregnancy and lactation.
With over a century of expertise in nutritional science, Morinaga has long focused on providing essential nutrition across different life stages. The introduction of Mori-Mama reflects a broader shift in maternal and early life nutrition — one that is increasingly centred not only on nutrient intake, but on how effectively nutrients are absorbed and utilised by the body.
This shift comes amid ongoing nutritional challenges. In Malaysia, anaemia during pregnancy remains a notable concern, with approximately 28.8% of pregnant women affected as of 2023, according to World Bank data. Studies have also shown that prevalence can range widely from around 19% to over 50%, underscoring the variability in maternal nutritional status.
This shift is particularly relevant during pregnancy, where nutritional demands are heightened and tolerance to certain supplements can vary. Iron deficiency remains one of the most common contributing factors, while increasing attention is being placed on how well nutrients are tolerated — particularly as some women experience discomfort with conventional supplementation. As a result, there is growing emphasis on approaches that support both efficacy and overall maternal experience.
Mori-Mama was developed in response to these evolving needs, bringing together key nutrients with functional ingredients such as lactoferrin — an iron-binding protein naturally found in high amount in breast milk alongside a synbiotic blend of Bifidobacterium longum BB536 and FOS (prebiotic fibre), supporting both iron absorption and gut health.
“Maternal nutrition today is being viewed through a more holistic lens, with greater awareness of how the body responds to what is consumed,” said Ms. Brenda Liew, Managing Director, OZ Marketing. “This is shaping the way nutritional solutions are developed, with a stronger focus on absorption, tolerance and overall well-being.”
Rather than segmenting support across different stages, Mori-Mama is positioned as a single, continuous formulation, aligning with the needs of women seeking more streamlined and practical approaches to nutrition from preparing for pregnancy through to motherhood.
As expectations around maternal health continue to shift, there is increasing recognition that nutritional support must begin earlier and extend further — from pre-conception through to pregnancy and beyond. The introduction of Mori-Mama reflects a more deliberate move towards solutions that address this continuum, supporting women in a way that is both relevant and responsive to their real experiences.

Present in most exocrine secretions such as breast milk and saliva of humans and other mammals, lactoferrin is a component with a wide range of physiological functions. The high amount of lactoferrin found in human breast milk, especially in colostrum, is considered to offer
important and protective benefits to newborns.
Paying high attention to the fact that lactoferrin is highly abundant in colostrum, Morinaga has been focusing its research efforts on lactoferrin over the long term to develop infant formula that closely resembles breast milk. Since its initial publication of a research paper on lactoferrin in 1963, Morinaga has been reporting its benefits through academic forums, conferences and publications.

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 11 May 2026 – Invest Hong Kong (InvestHK) is set to broaden its strategic engagement with the African continent as Associate Director-General of Investment Promotion Ms Loretta Lee today (May 10) embarks on an eight-day visit to Johannesburg, South Africa, and Kigali, Rwanda. The mission aims to strengthen economic ties with African economies and promote Hong Kong as the premier springboard for African enterprises to tap into the Chinese Mainland and Asia-Pacific markets.
Ms Lee said, “Africa holds a strategic position in the Global South, representing a vital engine of growth in an era of global economic uncertainty. Interconnectivity is the key to unlocking this potential, and Hong Kong plays a strategic role in linking capital, talent, and innovation and technology between Africa, the Chinese Mainland, and international markets to drive high-quality, multilateral growth. As the Government’s arm for both inward investment and Chinese Mainland enterprises aiming to go global, InvestHK facilitates two-way investment through strategic market insights, extensive global access, targeted promotion and policy facilitation. ”
Ms Lee will visit Johannesburg from May 10 to 13 to meet with representatives from the local chambers, financial institutions, banks, fintech interests, and business and professional services sectors. Extending her mission to Kigali, Rwanda, from May 13, Ms Lee will represent InvestHK at the Africa CEO Forum to drive high-level exchanges with C-suite executives from the continent’s leading multinationals.
African enterprises establishing a presence in Hong Kong can benefit from a globally recognised common law system and Asia’s most competitive tax regime. Most recently, Hong Kong has further sharpened its competitive edge by announcing a halve in the profits tax to 8.25 per cent from the standard 16.5 per cent for qualifying physical commodity traders. By combining this fiscal incentive with the city’s status as the world’s pre-eminent offshore Renminbi hub, Hong Kong offers African commodities exporters a high-liquidity, efficient gateway to Asian markets.
In line with the advancement of the National 15th Five-Year Plan, Hong Kong is leveraging its status as a “super connector” and “super value-adder” to support national development. As China-Africa economic relations pivot towards high-value trade and investment, Hong Kong is uniquely positioned to accelerate two-way capital flows – spurring growth across finance, shipping, and innovation and technology.
Citing the South African national rugby team’s recent first-ever title at the Hong Kong Sevens, Ms Lee emphasised that such vibrant people-to-people connections are not merely symbolic, but serve as a meaningful foundation for driving bilateral economic connection. Hashtag: #InvestHK

Together, SNP and Structify aim to bring AI-enabled data processing into the core of SAP transformation projects. According to industry analysts, unstructured data accounts for around 80% of enterprise information. This includes critical data such as contracts, sensitive HR records, IT-related documents, or customer complaints, which are often not readily accessible or processable. In the context of M&A transactions, insufficient handling of this data can create significant costs as well as operational and compliance risks for both buyers and sellers. In a first step, SNP integrates these capabilities into its Kyano platform particularly for M&A scenarios.
“Improper processing of unstructured data greatly increases the risks in M&A and can erode as much as 10% of the deal value. Customers have chosen SNP over the last 30 years to accelerate and de-risk their most critical transactions. We are excited to deliver this new AI-enabled capability based on our decades of experience to further streamline and safeguard our customers’ M&A,” says Steele Arbeeny, CTO of SNP North America.
“Unstructured data represents a significant share of the information required to run a business. Our goal is to make this data usable in M&A transactions while ensuring that sensitive information such as trade secrets and personal data is protected,” comments Structify CEO Alex Reichenbach. “This collaboration provides a framework to apply these capabilities in large-scale transformation projects.”

Combined with the extensive distribution strengths of both sides, this partnership is expected to significantly boost Indian tourist arrivals to Vietnam in the coming years.”
India is currently the world’s most populous country, with 1.47 billion people. The country’s rapidly expanding middle class is driving a strong surge in demand for international travel.
Recognizing the strategic importance of the Indian market, Vinpearl has not only leveraged its scale and integrated “all-in-one” ecosystem but has also continuously developed specialized offerings for Indian travelers, including luxury wedding tourism, MICE travel, multi-generational family holidays, group trips, and couple getaways. In 2025, the number of Indian guests staying within the Vinpearl system surged by a record 402% year-on-year, followed by a further 335% increase during the first four months of this year compared to the same period last year.
The signing of MoUs with these three major market access partners marks the next step in Vinpearl’s strategy to sustainably grow its visitor base from the 1.47 billion-population Indian market, while also helping position Vietnam as a “preferred destination” for Indian travelers.
