Minuteman Press International Inc

Neha Katrodia is the owner of the brand new Minuteman Press design, marketing, and printing franchise located at 9606 Sherrill Estates Rd., Suite A, Huntersville, NC 28078. After opening their doors in March of 2023, Minuteman Press in Huntersville held their official grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday, June 2, 2023. The event was hosted by the Lake Norman Chamber of Commerce and was attended by Huntersville Commissioner Dan Boone. Neha shares, “The Huntersville community has been very welcoming and interested in learning more about our business. I'm so thankful to everyone who came to support us during the grand opening and showed interest in growing together.” She continues, “Owning my own business means taking on my father's path to becoming an entrepreneur. Most importantly, I feel a sense of personal fulfillment and I look forward to seeing this new venture grow and succeed while helping other local businesses with all of their printing and promotional needs.” Joining Neha in the business are two key staff members: Denis Vargas, graphic designer/production; as well as Neha’s husband Mehul Katrodia, marketing agent. While Denis provides clients with custom creative designs and a sharp eye for details, Mehul manages the marketing side including Google and social media accounts.

She explains, “I have a healthcare and medical billing background; however, I grew up in the business environment. My father has been a businessman from my early childhood years and has owned various businesses from then to now. I also helped him run some of them due to the language barrier he had at times.” Neha further shares why she chose to own a Minuteman Press franchise, stating: “The continuous local support that Minuteman Press offers is amazing; The B2B hours of operation allow me to balance my business and personal lives; Minuteman Press allows me to follow my passion for creating something so unique with every project or job.” She adds, “The training program was extremely informative and allowed me to feel confident in front of clients. Now, the local support to lean on here in my region has been so helpful with advice and guidance on unique projects.

Fine Hygienic Holding Sets World Record Speed on Tissue Machine at Abu Dhabi Mill

Fine Hygienic Holding

Fine Hygienic Holding, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of high-quality hygiene products and the MENA region’s largest paper producer, has made history after setting a new record-breaking pace of productivity at its Al Nakheel Paper Mill in Abu Dhabi. The mill set a world record related to production speed on its tissue machine manufacturing 13.2 grams per square-meter (gsm) at 2,222 meter per minute for 24 hours – running with an efficiency rate of 96.5 per cent. The achievement was made possible due a combination of factors, including the exceptional capabilities of the team, a steadfast ‘run-to-target’ culture, and the Valmet Advantage DCT Tissue Technology. FHH has always been committed to delivering consistent and superior quality and quantity, and the new world speed record showcases the company’s dedication to pushing boundaries to the limit in combination with achieving excellence. The Advantage DCT technology seamlessly integrates the specific needs of tissue makers with extensive technical expertise and application know-how, culminating in a state-of-the-art tissue-making process. The advanced technology ensures efficient production of high-quality tissue products, using virgin pulp with exceptional efficiency. Wolfgang Lied, Chief of Operations, Product Development, and Engineering at Fine Hygienic Holding, expressed immense pride in the achievement: “I am very proud of this extraordinary performance – simply fabulous. To achieve a world record demands two major things: A world class team and world class equipment. The team showed that a dream can come true when you are focused, engaged, passionate, and skilled.” Samir Masoud, UAE Supply Chain Director at Fine Hygienic Holding, highlighted the instrumental role played by the machine: “The Advantage DCT machine has performed in a very stable and reliable manner during the journey to gear up the machine speed from normal 2,000 meter per minute to where we are today. The fact this great achievement was reached with 96.5 per cent efficiency is just amazing.” The record-breaking achievement was made possible due to the leadership of Khalil Shorbaji, Al Nakheel’s Operation Manager, and Abdelhadi Alhader, Al Nakheel’s Technical Manager. It took place on an Advantage DCT 200 machine, a tissue production line with a design speed of 2,200 m/min. The machine measures 5.6m in width and incorporates stock preparation systems and auxiliary equipment. The Al Nakheel mill in Abu Dhabi has now established a new benchmark for high-speed production and efficiency. Known for its ability to produce conventional tissues in cost- and energy-efficient ways, the Advantage DCT concept has become a world standard to produce conventional tissue paper. It offers sustainable production of high tissue quality with low energy and water consumption, as well as high efficiency and reliability at low operational costs. The concept is available in various models and sizes to meet specific production demands. The world record follows FHH’s recent achievement of receiving the Excellence in Sustainability Environmental Certificate from CHEP, a global provider of supply chain solutions. This recognition is testament to the company’s significant efforts towards sustainable practices and minimising its environmental impact. 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.

Once leases have been negotiated, all parties will agree upon closing date, final cost of accusation and exact terms of payment and closing.

JAMES PAUL CHEUNG LIGHTWEIGHT CASHMERE SCARVES NOW FEATURE WORKS OF ART

James Paul Cheung

Following a successful career, James Paul Cheung made the audacious decision to leave finance for fashion in 2017. For nearly a decade, he has continued the legacy begun by his mother who ran a small cashmere shop in La Jolla, California. A driving force in the industry, Cheung has created a strong following in the Hamptons, where the business is based, as well as throughout the country and the world. He is a creative thinker who is always searching for ways to elevate simple luxuries and take them to the next level. Forever a fan of the arts, Cheung got the idea to collaborate with a capsule of artists and create their work as luxurious wearable art. The idea is to celebrate art in a unique way. "Perhaps a client is an art lover who wishes to share their passion with those they meet, now they can by owning a piece of art as a wearable, inspiring lightweight, luxury cashmere scarf," says Cheung. For the 2023 spring/summer season Cheung has collaborated with two talented female artists, Carolyn Marks Blackwood and Angela Maritz. Marks Blackwood is a photographer who has spent her life looking at paintings. Her work is part of a movement known as Pictorialists, a group of photographers who created a style of photography based on painting rather than on documentation. Inspired by Color Field painters, and artists like Rothko and Newman, Blackwood focuses on images that have strong verticals or horizontals and which tend to fill the whole optical field. For Angela Maritz, her paintings are about the moments when she felt free to unleash her raw emotions through paint. These moments silenced her mind and from this state, a deeper connection to herself and her inner joy was born. Angela's intention is that her art does the same for you. Quietens your thoughts, conjures up your memories, emboldens you, inspiring purpose-filled living. Thus creating positive change in the world through art. James Paul Cheung Cashmere began as a pop-up in the Southampton salon of Kevin Maple. The demand for his light-weight cashmere was overwhelming and in 2018 he opened his own shop in Bridgehampton. Following the pandemic, Cheung joined Curated by Thuyen in East Hampton, where his designs are currently available. The luxury brand stands by ethical, sourcing and partners with suppliers that share those beliefs. Cheung embraces design, and sustainability principles that result in high-quality products that use traceable, renewable, and recycled materials, and are resilient and long-lasting. All of his scarves are 100% pure cashmere – seasonless, lightweight like a summer breeze and easy to wear.
