The celebrity esthetician will serve as Chief Smooth Officer, bringing her skincare expertise to the waxing journey as EWC ushers in its new “Smooth, Done Right” brand platform

PLANO, Texas, Sept. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — European Wax Center, Inc., the leading franchisor and operator of out-of-home waxing services in the United States, announced today that world-renowned esthetician Joanna Czech will join the brand as its first-ever brand ambassador and Chief Smooth Officer. With more than four decades of experience caring for some of the world’s most discerning clientele, Czech brings her signature skin health expertise to EWC, joining the brand at a pivotal moment as it ushers in a bold new era centered on doing smooth right.

As Chief Smooth Officer, Czech will serve as a skincare expert and educational voice for EWC, helping reinforce the brand’s longstanding commitment to skincare as an essential part of the waxing journey. She will share guidance on caring for skin before, during, and after a wax while spotlighting the expertise and training behind the EWC experience. The partnership pairs Czech’s 40+ years of skincare experience with EWC’s more than 20 years of professional waxing expertise and over 100 million waxing services.

“I have spent my entire career helping people understand and care for their skin, and I’ve always believed that expertise and consistency are what deliver the best results,” said Joanna Czech. “European Wax Center is rooted in that same respect for expertise. Waxing is ultimately skin care, and how you treat the skin before, during, and after a service matters. I’m excited to partner with a brand that has spent more than 20 years perfecting its craft and to help even more people feel confident in their skin.”

Czech’s appointment follows EWC’s recent brand transformation and the introduction of Smooth, Done Right^™, a new brand platform that puts the company’s decades of waxing expertise front and center. The transformation extends across the EWC experience, from a refreshed visual identity and new brand campaign to redesigned centers rolling out across the country—all grounded in what EWC has long delivered to its guests: expertise, care, and confidence.

The evolution is also taking shape across EWC’s physical footprint. The brand is continuing to bring its refreshed experience to guests through new center openings in various markets over the next two quarters, including: Arizona, Florida, Louisiana, New York, Maryland, and Texas. As the franchise network continues to evolve, EWC is also expanding its corporate-owned footprint, intending to own 10-15% of the full network.

“Joanna represents everything we mean when we say, ‘Smooth, Done Right’—deep expertise, an uncompromising commitment to her craft, and the confidence that comes from knowing you are in expert hands,” said Chris Morris, Chief Executive Officer of European Wax Center. “As we bring our brand transformation to life, from how we show up and communicate to the evolution of our centers and continued expansion, Joanna’s appointment is another important step in this next chapter for EWC. She serves as a powerful reinforcement of the expertise that has defined EWC for more than 20 years and deepens the conversation around the connection between waxing and skincare.”

New platform provides companies with multi-tier supply chain visibility, verified risk data and traceable due diligence as global regulatory requirements accelerate

• Addresses a supply chain sustainability software market forecast to exceed $7 billion by 2029, with Verdantix projecting a 29% compound annual growth rate through 2029.
• Panoramic, multi-tier view: the new offering gives clients an end-to-end view of their supply chain across multiple supplier tiers, so they can identify risks, mitigate exposure and remediate issues.
• Value beyond compliance: the new offering is designed to lower operating costs by centralising data, helps reduce litigation risk exposure by a documented, evidence-based due diligence process, and support supplier and worker retention through clear accountability.

LONDON, Sept. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Diginex Limited (NASDAQ: DGNX) (“Diginex” or the “Company”), a provider of ESG, sustainability and compliance solutions to institutional and corporate clients, today announced the launch of an enhanced end-to-end supply chain due diligence platform that gives companies one continuous view of risk, action and outcomes across their supply chains.

The launch comes as companies face growing expectations to understand and manage risks deeper within increasingly complex supply chains. Regulation is also evolving beyond disclosure, with due diligence requirements and forced labour import prohibitions increasing the need for businesses to evaluate risks within their supply chains and demonstrate how they are responding to them.

Verdantix forecasts that the global supply chain sustainability software market will grow at a 29% compound annual rate through 2029, with the market expected to exceed $7 billion by 2029*. Diginex believes that growth is being driven by major regulatory initiatives including the European Union Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive and EU Forced Labour Regulation, which will prohibit products made with forced labour from being placed on or exported from the EU market from December 2027.

The new offering enables customers to replace fragmented, manual supplier data with a single platform providing visibility around four stages:

• Connect: map suppliers across multiple tiers.
• Identify: validate risks by comparing company-reported, worker-reported and third-party data.
• Act: manage corrective action plans together with suppliers.
• Demonstrate: keep a traceable record from first finding to verified resolution.

The Company plans to extend the tool over time, subject to customer research and prioritisation.

By centralizing supply chain information and creating a verified record of risk identification and remediation, the new offering is designed to lower operating costs by centralising data, help reduce litigation risk exposure by a documented, evidence-based due diligence process, and support supplier and worker retention through clear accountability. “Regulation increasingly requires businesses to build a more complete picture of risk across their supply chains. That requires more than visibility, it requires actionable data that helps companies understand where risks sit, determine where to act and measure the outcomes,” said Archana Kotecha, Interim Chief Executive Officer of Diginex. “Our solution is designed to connect those dots, helping businesses move from risk identification to action and measurable outcomes.”

EagleNXT’s newly developed anti-jamming technology performs strongly in contested DDIL environment and advances toward production readiness

ALLEN, Texas, Sept. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. (dba, EagleNXT) (the “Company” or “EagleNXT”) (NYSE: UAVS), a leading provider of full-stack drone, counter-UAS, and specialty sensor system solutions for defense, government, and commercial applications worldwide, today announced its participation in a Denied, Disrupted, Intermittent and Limited (DDIL) testing environment hosted at Camp Grayling Joint Maneuver Training Center, part of Michigan’s National All-Domain Warfighting Center (NADWC), from September 13-18, 2026, where the Company’s newly developed anti-jamming technology performed strongly in realistic contested conditions and continued to demonstrate readiness for a near-term transition toward production.

The event, hosted by the Michigan Department of Military and Veterans Affairs in coordination with Army Test and Evaluation Command and the Threat System Management Office, is aligned with the U.S. Army’s Permissive Range Initiative, which is intended to expand opportunities for industry and military organizations to rapidly test and evaluate emerging technologies in realistic operational environments.

During the testing event, participating organizations evaluated systems in communications, positioning, navigation, timing, and radio-frequency environments designed to replicate contested battlefield conditions. EagleNXT used the event to exercise its eBee VISION UAS equipped with advanced anti-jamming capability in demanding DDIL conditions, and the Company observed strong performance that reinforced confidence in the maturity of the technology and its path toward production availability.

“Testing in DDIL environments is essential to proving that unmanned systems can operate when traditional communications and navigation sources are degraded or denied,” said Bill Irby, Chief Executive Officer of EagleNXT. “The event provided an important opportunity to exercise our eBee VISION featuring newly developed anti-jamming technology in a realistic contested environment, and we were pleased with how well the capability performed. The technology is progressing well through final readiness steps and we expect to begin production later this year. Participating in the NADWC event gave EagleNXT the opportunity to demonstrate and refine capabilities in the types of realistic, multi-domain conditions that defense customers increasingly require. Events like this accelerate innovation, strengthen operational readiness, and support our long-term positioning in the defense and government UAS market.”

Camp Grayling’s expansive training areas, varied terrain, electromagnetic spectrum access, and multi-domain capabilities provide a realistic environment for evaluating emerging technologies before they are fielded. The NADWC includes nearly 148,000 acres of maneuver space at Camp Grayling and more than 17,000 square miles of special-use military airspace at the Alpena Combat Readiness Training Center, supporting training and testing across land, air, maritime, space, and cyber domains.

The Army’s Permissive Range Initiative and related experimentation programs are designed to help industry partners identify capability gaps, validate new technologies, and move emerging systems from development and prototyping toward operational use. EagleNXT’s participation reflects the Company’s ongoing focus on providing resilient unmanned systems, sensors, anti-jamming technology, and software-enabled solutions for defense and government customers operating in complex environments.

Potential repeat engagements with existing customers; if finalized, execution anticipated from mid-2027 through the end of 2028

WUXI, China, Sept. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — HUHUTECH International Group Inc. (Nasdaq: HUHU) (“HUHU” or the “Company”), a system integration provider that designs and implements integrated facility management systems and industrial automation monitoring systems for the optoelectronic, semiconductor, telecom, and logistics industries, today detailed two potential projects in Japan with separate existing customers that the Company anticipates may advance toward contracting in the fourth quarter of 2026. Based on the Company’s current estimates, the two potential projects have an aggregate value of approximately US$12 million.

One project covers power system engineering and the other covers heated piping system integration. If finalized as anticipated, project execution is currently expected to begin in approximately June 2027 and continue through the end of 2028. If finalized, the projects would be performed through HUHUTECH’s existing operations in Japan, including in Kumamoto Prefecture and through its Hiroshima Project Office, launched in December 2025, consistent with the Company’s focus on fewer, larger engagements in Japan.

“When existing customers come back with new projects, it tells us our engineering and delivery in Japan are meeting the standard this market demands,” said Yujun Xiao, Chief Executive Officer of HUHUTECH. “If finalized, these two projects would provide project visibility extending through 2028 and further strengthen our position in one of the world’s most demanding semiconductor markets.”

Mr. Xiao continued, “Beyond our semiconductor customer base, we believe our power system capabilities are well suited to other infrastructure-intensive sectors, including computing infrastructure, where power reliability and system sophistication are increasingly critical. We intend to pursue opportunities in Japan through both repeat engagements with established customers and new customer relationships across these industries.”

The projects described above remain subject to further commercial discussions, definitive agreements and the receipt of purchase orders. The estimated aggregate value described above reflects the Company’s current expectations and is not based on definitive agreements. The final contract value, if any, may differ materially from this estimate, including as a result of changes in project scope or fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. There can be no assurance that either project will be finalized on the anticipated terms, value or timeline, or at all.

Following a “discovery within a discovery” at Lawson 4, MAX Power is advancing its Natural Hydrogen commercial validation program with a 30-km step-out testing the Prairie Evaporite “trap and seal”. 

Detailed planning is also accelerating for an extensive completions program across Lawson targeting flow, volume and Natural Hydrogen concentrations.

New Video: The Next Chapter
https://youtu.be/LUIHqS35rMg

REGINA, Saskatchewan, Sept. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FSE: 89N) (“MAX Power” or the “Company”) is pleased to report that Lawson 5 is proceeding as expected with intermediate casing completed yesterday at approximately 1,100 meters (measured depth). The first major horizon of interest within the next several hundred meters will be the Prairie Evaporite, interpreted to be a key trap and seal feature for the accumulation of Natural Hydrogen. At deeper levels, a faulted fracture system controls the basement complex dissolution process of the evaporite salt and will be of intense interest to the MAX Power technical team as it attempts to significantly expand the scale of the Lawson Discovery.

Lawson 5 is a 30-km step-out northeast of Lawson 4 and is testing the potential west-to-east extension of Canada’s first subsurface Natural Hydrogen system all the way from the first four wells near Central Butte to the “Salt Wall” at the edge of the Prairie Evaporite. The “Salt Wall Corridor” continues north-south for 475 km through the MAX Power-dominated Genesis Trend to the Saskatchewan-North Dakota border, further highlighting the potential scale implications of success at Lawson 5.

Mr. Steve Halabura, MAX Power Chief Geoscientist, commented, “Upon initial review of drill core from key intervals, Lawson 4 is even more exciting to us, so we very much look forward to results from Lawson 5. We know that fluids and gases have migrated up-dip from the southwest toward the Salt Wall. We had no hesitation in stepping out 30 kilometers – we continue to vigorously test a geological model we have had great success with from the start. Detailed planning for our completions round continues and we look forward to sharing more details on that very soon.”

Figure 1 – The Genesis Trend

Why This Matters to Investors

Lawson 5 represents a pivotal test of scale for MAX Power. The first four Lawson wells have progressively defined Canada’s first confirmed subsurface Natural Hydrogen system. Now, approximately 30 km northeast, Lawson 5 is beginning to test whether the geological architecture identified at Lawson extends toward the Salt Wall and into a much larger regional setting. The Salt Wall Corridor continues for approximately 475 km through the Genesis Trend toward North Dakota, while Bracken, approximately 325 km southwest on a different trend, contains multiple prospective Natural Hydrogen and helium zones. Together, these targets are expanding the exploration thesis well beyond the boundaries of a single discovery area.

The bigger opportunity is basin scale. Lawson 5 is testing potential geological scale while upcoming completions at Lawson and Bracken are designed to address the critical commercial questions of composition, flow and deliverability. At the same time, every well expands the proprietary geological, geophysical and reservoir dataset feeding MAXX LEMI. MAX Power is therefore advancing two increasingly connected assets: the Natural Hydrogen opportunity beneath Saskatchewan and the intelligence being built to understand and potentially identify these systems at greater scale.

HONG KONG, Sept. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — 3 E Network Technology Group Limited (Nasdaq: MASK) (the “Company” or “3 E Network”), a business-to-business (“B2B”) information technology (“IT”) business solutions provider, committed to becoming a next-generation artificial intelligence (“AI”) infrastructure solutions provider, today announced the initiation of a global vendor evaluation and Request for Proposal (“RFP”) process targeting high-density server clusters, liquid cooling infrastructure, and core networking equipment for its multi-megawatt AI compute center in Mikkeli, Finland. Following the recent release of the Mikkeli Data Center Blueprint, the finalization of multi-megawatt power parameters, and the establishment of compute distribution channels, this procurement process transitions the facility into the practical phase of physical hardware selection and deployment. To guide the supply chain procurement, the evaluation focuses on four technical requirements set out in the blueprint:

1. Implementing 120kW+ Rack Power Density and Direct-to-Chip Liquid Cooling Standards

To address the escalating Thermal Design Power in Large Language Model (“LLM”) training workloads, and in alignment with previously established thermal management objectives, 3 E Network requires that proposed thermal management solutions support rack power densities of 120kW and above (“120kW+”).

Given the physical constraints of traditional air-cooling architectures when managing next-generation high-power AI accelerators, this evaluation will prioritize advanced Direct-to-Chip liquid cooling technologies. By employing micro-channel cold plates affixed directly to the silicon core, this technology utilizes high specific heat capacity to manage primary component heat. This standard aims to mitigate localized thermal hotspots, maintain thermodynamic stability during extended training cycles, extend hardware operational life, and optimize the facility’s overall Power Usage Effectiveness.

2. Evaluating Next-Gen GPU Architecture Compatibility and Non-Blocking Network Topologies

The RFP process prioritizes “architectural compatibility and stress-test reliability” as key evaluation metrics. The Company’s engineering teams are benchmarking technical requirements against the spatial, power delivery, and data throughput profiles of upcoming flagship AI accelerator architectures, including ecosystems based on Blackwell and Vera Rubin planning.

In line with the high-speed cluster objectives set in the blueprint, the Company has specified high-performance standards for low-latency and non-blocking interconnectivity. Addressing the intensive data interaction demands of LLM training, the evaluation will focus on 800G and above Ethernet and InfiniBand-class leaf-spine topology solutions, aiming to optimize internal data flows and ensure large-scale GPU nodes operate in a highly synchronized environment.

3. Deploying All-Flash NVMe Storage Clusters and Parallel File Systems

In the multimodal model landscape, data transfer efficiency is as vital as underlying computational power. To overcome Data Input/Output (“I/O”) bottlenecks during large-parameter model training and prevent GPU compute idle time, the Company has designated all-flash NVMe over Fabrics storage arrays and high-performance parallel file systems as standard procurement criteria.

This specification requires the storage architecture to deliver high read throughputs at the terabytes-per-second level with microsecond latency. Additionally, the system must support efficient, concurrent model checkpointing capabilities. This allows for the rapid preservation of extensive model state data, thereby effectively facilitating recovery from hardware interruptions, minimizing the loss of training progress, and maintaining the operational efficiency of compute assets.

4. Accommodating 48V DC Power Evolution to Support the Green Energy Architecture

To smoothly integrate with the facility’s green energy architecture and manage the significant transient power spikes associated with new-generation AI chips, 3 E Network requires rack-level power delivery infrastructure to be compatible with and capable of evolving toward a 48V Direct Current busbar architecture. Compared to traditional 12V setups, 48V power delivery lowers line current, which reduces transmission losses and improves end-to-end power conversion efficiency.

Concurrently, the accompanying intelligent Power Distribution Units must provide high conversion efficiency alongside integrated dynamic load balancing and precise energy monitoring. This intelligent power distribution design is intended to offer robust reliability for the underlying electrical grid when high-density clusters manage complex inference tasks or initiate large-scale training runs.

Strategic Outlook and Execution Plan

With the foundational power parameters and commercial distribution channels for the Finnish project established, 3 E Network’s management team views this core hardware evaluation as a crucial phase in translating the theoretical blueprint into physical infrastructure. By outlining technical specifications including the 120kW+ liquid cooling threshold, non-blocking networking, high-throughput I/O, and 48V power compatibility, the Company has communicated clear deployment requirements to the hardware supply chain. 3 E Network is focused on building a robust, industrial-grade technological platform to support the computational demands of large-scale AI models. In the subsequent evaluation period, the Company will engage in detailed technical discussions with selected vendors to finalize the infrastructure matrix selection, accelerating the capital expenditure rollout and the practical commissioning of the Finnish project.
