More than 140,000 home batteries dispatched power to California’s statewide energy grid during extreme heat on September 9, 2026, equaling the capacity of a large power plant

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sunrun (Nasdaq: RUN) and Tesla (Nasdaq: TSLA) announced today that the companies’ fleets of home batteries dispatched more than 580 megawatts of peak power to California’s grid on the evening of September 9, 2026. The combined output marks the largest distributed power plant dispatch event on record—with enough capacity to power all households in Sacramento County during peak hours.

The dispatch event occurred amid scorching temperatures, elevated demand for electricity, and the resulting increase in wholesale energy rates. At the request of the California Energy Commission and utilities, Sunrun and Tesla discharged their customers’ home batteries to the grid for a three-hour evening period to increase the grid’s operating margin and put downward pressure on real-time energy prices.

Sunrun and Tesla coordinated 580 megawatts of residential battery capacity during the event—combining 517 megawatts from Tesla Powerwalls with 63 megawatts from additional batteries. 110,000 Powerwalls participated in the event; more than half of those (55%) are owned and operated by Sunrun. In addition, Sunrun dispatched more than 30,000 of its customers’ batteries from other manufacturers.

“Sunrun’s distributed home batteries are operating at a scale larger than many peaker power plants combined,” said Sunrun CEO Mary Powell. “Families depend on their Sunrun energy systems for outage protection and energy independence. This historic dispatch shows that the benefits of distributed energy go well beyond individual households as we help control the cost of electricity for all Californians and reduce the need for new costly poles and wires.”

The dispatch event was coordinated through two statewide grid service programs: the California Energy Commission’s Demand Side Grid Support (DSGS) program and the California Public Utilities Commission’s Emergency Load Reduction Program (ELRP). The participating batteries were located statewide, with customers participating in all three investor-owned utilities’ service territories.

The DSGS dispatch event was triggered by the California Independent System Operator’s day-ahead locational marginal price exceeding $200 per megawatt-hour. The ELRP dispatch was an event called to coincide with the heat wave by Pacific Gas and Electric Company for batteries located within its territory.

An even larger distributed power plant event in California is possible from Sunrun’s and Tesla’s battery fleets. The Sept. 9 event did not dispatch the companies’ additional batteries participating in the ELRP program in Southern California Edison’s territory.

However, the following evening, Sept. 10, Southern California Edison requested a three-hour dispatch during peak hours. Together, Sunrun and Tesla delivered more than 140 megawatts of battery capacity to the grid. Had the dispatch events from Sept. 9 and 10 occurred on the same night, Sunrun and Tesla would have had the ability to deliver over 720 megawatts in a single dispatch.

A report by The Brattle Group, commissioned by Sunrun and Tesla, found that these kinds of programs could provide up to $206 million in net cost savings to Californians by 2028. These savings would benefit all grid-connected customers, the report said. Additionally, participants benefit from direct compensation for the power they share with the grid.

The historic dispatch event provides a strong proof point for Sunrun, Tesla, and Renew Home’s existing initiative to unlock more than 16.8 gigawatts of flexible capacity for hyperscalers and utilities from home batteries, solar, smart thermostats, and EVs. The three companies announced earlier this month that they will enroll nearly 21,000 existing flexible energy devices into a new, Google-funded distributed power plant with PG&E. The resource is expected to begin supporting the grid as early as this fall.

Ahead of an extensive completions program at the Lawson Complex, aimed at confirming the world’s first large-scale commercial discovery of an emerging new primary energy source, the 30-km step-out at Lawson 5 sets the stage for a robust new phase of exploration targeting the basin-scale potential of Natural Hydrogen in Saskatchewan.

REGINA, Saskatchewan, Sept. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — MAX Power Mining Corp. (CSE: MAXX; OTC: MAXXF; FSE: 89N) (“MAX Power” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide the following exploration and operations update as crews prepare to mobilize for ramped-up drilling aimed at adding even greater scale to both the Lawson Complex Natural Hydrogen Discovery and the geological potential of the entire 475-km-long (~300-mile) Genesis Trend that stretches from south-central Saskatchewan to the North Dakota border.

Highlights

  • Savanna Drill Rig #629 and crew are preparing to mobilize for the largest step-out yet (Lawson 5) as part of the Lawson Discovery, targeting an area approximately 27 to 31 km northeast of the current discovery represented by the first four wells – Lawson 1 to Lawson 4. Savanna Rig #629 is a top drive tele-scopic double;
  • Lawson 5 has two key objectives, each testing the scale potential of the broader Genesis Trend – west to east across a 30-km mobile belt, and north-to-south along the “Salt Wall” flanking the Prairie Evaporite that extends 475 km (~300 miles) down the Genesis Trend to the North Dakota border;
  • Lawson 4 has been successfully cased and cemented after drilling encountered the highest Natural Hydrogen readings to date at Lawson, a thick basal Cambrian reservoir with high permeability and porosity, exotic terrane source rocks, and a sub-vertical crustal fault (conduit) with an unknown depth extent in the Precambrian basement complex.

Mr. Steve Halabura, MAX Power Chief Geoscientist, commented: “Lawson 5 will give us the information we need with respect to an additional important trap and seal mechanism on the Genesis Trend, beyond the ones we have already identified, and other data, to launch an aggressive exploration program along the broader Salt Wall Corridor continuing north-south for at least 475 km. In addition, Lawson 5 will test the west-to-east up-dip potential, across a mobile belt, of the current discovery. What this is quickly building up to, given our confidence in the science, is an even more robust program of exploratory drilling at Genesis and elsewhere, concurrent with an extensive completions program covering the Lawson discovery wells slated to begin soon. All of this will provide a massive input of new data into MAXX LEMI, our AI-assisted proprietary platform that Kyndryl is developing a commercialization strategy for (refer to Sept. 18, 2026 news release).”

Bracken Well Update

While Lawson 5 represents the biggest step-out to date associated with the current discovery area, the Bracken well along the Saskatchewan-Montana border completed earlier this year stepped out 325 km from the Lawson Complex to the Grasslands Projects in the southwest and underscored the basin-scale potential of Natural Hydrogen deposits in Saskatchewan (refer to June 30, 2026 news release).

Independent petrophysical evaluation by GLJ Ltd. (“GLJ”), one of the world’s leading energy consultants, identified multiple prospective Natural Hydrogen and helium zones at Bracken. The well was successfully cased and cemented, and a near-term completions program is planned at Bracken to coincide with Lawson completions.

Why This Matters to Investors

Lawson 5 marks a pivotal shift in the MAX Power story. The first four Lawson wells have progressively defined Canada’s first confirmed subsurface Natural Hydrogen system. Now MAX Power is stepping out approximately 30 km northeast to begin testing something potentially much larger, including whether the geological architecture being identified at Lawson extends to the Salt Wall and across the broader 475 km Genesis Trend. With Bracken also showing multiple prospective Natural Hydrogen and helium zones approximately 325 km southwest, on a different trend, the opportunity is increasingly moving beyond the boundaries of a single discovery area. 

The bigger thesis is basin scale. Completions testing at Lawson and Bracken will begin addressing flow, composition and deliverability, while Lawson 5 also takes the first major step toward testing scale across a vastly larger geological corridor potentially extending across the entire Salt Wall flanking the full eastern border of Genesis. Every new well also expands the proprietary geological, geophysical and reservoir dataset feeding MAXX LEMI, creating a growing intelligence layer alongside MAX Power’s exploration assets.

Lawson established the first subsurface discovery of Natural Hydrogen in Canada. The next phase is about proving deliverability and testing just how big this basin scale Natural Hydrogen opportunity could become.

First Half of Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Results

Revenues

Revenues were US$33.74 million for the first half of 2026, an increase of 36.60% from US$24.70 million for the same period of 2025. This increase was mainly due to an increase of 35.29% in the average sales unit price for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period of 2025.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues was US$19.45 million for the first half of 2026, an increase of 57.08% from US$12.38 million for the same period of 2025. The increase was driven by higher material procurement prices coupled with increased material consumption from the expanded production scale of new products, and increased labor costs as more personnel were required and more complex manufacturing procedures were involved in the production of new products.

Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin

Gross profit was US$14.29 million for the first half of 2026, an increase of 16.01% from US$12.32 million for the same period of 2025. This increase was mainly due to the increased average sales unit price of ZJK’s hardware products, partially offset by the decreased sales volume.

The gross profit margin was 42.35% for the first half of 2026, compared with 49.87% for the same period of 2025, mainly attributable to the increase in average unit cost of products. Despite an increase in average sales unit price of products, to remain competitive, such price growth was insufficient to fully offset the incremental manufacturing costs.

Total Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses were US$8.64 million for the first half of 2026, compared with US$6.46 million for the same period of 2025.

  • General and administrative expenses were US$4.11 million for the first half of 2026, an increase of 52.86% from US$2.69 million for the same period of 2025. This increase was primarily attributable to (i) an increase of US$0.63 million in share-based compensation expenses, (ii) an increase of US$0.16 million in salaries and benefits for administrative personnel due to an increase of employee headcounts resulting from ZJK’s business growth, (iii) an increase of US$0.12 million in depreciation and amortization expenses, and (iv) an increase of US$0.40 million in other miscellaneous expenses due to business expansion.
  • Selling and marketing expenses were US$4.24 million for the first half of 2026, an increase of 19.33% from US$3.56 million for the same period of 2025. This increase was primarily due to (i) an increase of US$0.31 million in sales commissions resulting from business expansion into markets such as North America, Singapore, and Taiwan, China, (ii) an increase of US$0.10 million in salaries and benefits for sales and marketing personnel due to higher headcounts to support ZJK’s business expansion, and (iii) an increase of US$0.18 million in freight costs for sale of products, reflecting expanded overseas shipping demands.
  • Research and development expenses were US$0.28 million for the first half of 2026, an increase of 32.28% from US$0.21 million for the same period of 2025. This increase was primarily attributable to salaries and benefits for an increased number of research and development personnel resulting from business growth.

Income from Operations

Income from operations was US$5.66 million for the first half of 2026, compared with US$5.86 million for the same period of 2025.

Other Income, Net

Other income, net was US$1.37 million for the first half of 2026, compared with US$1.91 million for the same period of 2025, primarily due to a decrease in foreign exchange gains.

Net Income

Net income was US$5.24 million for the first half of 2026, compared with US$5.84 million for the same period of 2025.

Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share

Basic and diluted earnings per share were both US$0.08 for the first half of 2026, compared with US$0.10 for the same period of 2025.

Financial Condition

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments of US$23.16 million, an increase of 24.37% from US$18.62 million as of December 31, 2025.

  • Research finds AI in buildings can cut whole-building energy use by up to 22% against traditional controls
  • Annual utility savings of $13,600 to $49,300 per building at current commercial rates, with savings recurring year after year
  • Carbon avoided is more than 100 times the AI system’s own footprint

NEW YORK, Sept. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Schneider Electric, a global energy technology leader, today published new research at Climate Week NYC 2026 finding that AI-enabled buildings can cut whole-building energy use by up to 22% against traditional controls. The research highlights annual utility savings as $13,600 to $49,300 per building at current commercial rates, helping organizations reduce operating costs every year with the potential to scale across larger portfolios. The research also finds the carbon avoided is more than 100 times greater than the AI system’s footprint.

As concerns grow over AI’s environmental impact, buildings remain one of the world’s largest sources of emissions, accounting for approximately 37% of global energy-related carbon emissions. Schneider Electric’s new research, AI for Climate: Quantifying the Energy and Carbon Impact of Building Optimization, found that AI-driven HVAC optimization deployed through a smart building management system can contribute 7.2-12.7% of additional building energy savings. This shows how AI manages energy more intelligently, easing pressure on building systems and the wider electric grid.

Other key findings include:

  • Up to 60 metric tons of carbon emissions avoided annually per building (59,869kg CO₂e), comparable to the environmental benefit of planting 2,700 mature trees1
  • More than 200 MWh of annual energy savings in some building scenarios, enough electricity to power dozens of average homes for a year
  • AI can more than double the energy savings achieved by smart building controls alone
  • Both cloud and edge AI deployments can deliver significant energy and carbon benefits

“The future of building management will be defined by how effectively organizations connect and contextualize data that was previously trapped in silos. An AI layer on top of existing business systems can turn complexity into intelligence and intelligence into action, reducing emissions, lowering costs and improving performance simultaneously,” said Pankaj Sharma, EVP, Software & Services at Schneider Electric. “As energy demand continues to rise, the ability to deliver these outcomes together, rather than forcing organizations to choose between them, will be critical to achieving both business and sustainability goals.”

The research uses building energy modeling validated against real-world pilot deployments to assess how AI-enabled HVAC control impacts energy consumption, carbon emissions and operating costs across Australia, India and the U.S in differing building scenarios.

The study examined how an AI layer deployed on top of digital building management systems can connect previously siloed data sources, continuously analyze building conditions, and automate HVAC optimization in real time. By incorporating data from occupancy patterns, weather forecasts, equipment performance, and other operational inputs, AI can enable buildings to operate more efficiently while reducing the burden on facility management teams.

The research also found that small and mid-sized buildings (less than 100,000 sqft) stand to benefit significantly from AI-enabled optimization. Historically, energy management systems have been considered too complex or costly for smaller facilities, where dedicated facilities expertise is often limited. By helping automate and simplify optimization, AI can make sophisticated building management more accessible, enabling smaller buildings to reduce energy consumption, lower operating costs and cut emissions.

“AI is putting the power of energy intelligence into the hands of smaller building owners and operators. What once required significant expertise and investment can now be achieved more simply and at greater scale, helping organizations reduce energy waste, lower costs, improve performance, and make smarter decisions with confidence,” added Sharma.

NAPLES, Fla., Sept. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via IBN — HealthLynked Corp. (OTCQB:HLYK), a healthcare technology company focused on AI-powered patient engagement and care coordination, today announced a strategic enterprise pilot with Palm Beach Accountable Care Organization (PBACO), one of the nation’s leading physician-owned Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) Accountable Care Organizations.

The pilot will evaluate HealthLynked’s AI-powered patient engagement, intelligent scheduling, digital onboarding, care coordination, and virtual healthcare technologies across participating PBACO physician practices. The initiative is designed to determine how artificial intelligence can improve patient access and experience while reducing administrative burden, streamlining physician workflow, and supporting value-based care.

PBACO supports approximately 10,000 physicians and healthcare professionals serving more than 325,000 Medicare beneficiaries across 32 states plus the District of Columbia. PBACO has ranked #1 nationally in Medicare Shared Savings performance in five of the past nine years and maintains an average quality performance score of 93.32%.

AI-Powered Patient Engagement

The pilot will deploy HealthLynked’s patient engagement platform, including the HealthLynked AI Care Agent, AI-powered patient call management, intelligent appointment scheduling, digital patient onboarding, QR-code patient check-in, secure patient communications, provider workflow tools, digital care coordination, and population health engagement capabilities.

The HealthLynked AI Care Agent functions as a digital extension of the physician practice, answering patient calls 24 hours a day, onboarding new patients, securely collecting demographic and insurance information, scheduling and managing appointments, helping patients locate appropriate physicians or specialists, answering common administrative questions, and delivering reminders and follow-up communications.

For patients, the platform is designed to make healthcare easier to navigate by providing 24/7 access to assistance, faster and more convenient scheduling, simplified onboarding and check-in, help identifying the appropriate provider, improved communication with physician practices, and better coordination before and after visits. By reducing friction at each step of the healthcare journey, HealthLynked aims to create a more responsive, connected, and patient-centered experience.

For physicians and their staff, automating routine administrative interactions can reduce repetitive work and allow clinical teams to devote more time to patient care.

Throughout the pilot, PBACO will evaluate key performance indicators including patient engagement, scheduling efficiency, digital onboarding, administrative workload reduction, patient and provider satisfaction, care coordination, and operational efficiencies supporting value-based care.

“Healthcare is rapidly evolving toward intelligent, patient-centered care,” said Dr. Michael Dent, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of HealthLynked. “Partnering with one of the nation’s premier physician-led Accountable Care Organizations gives us an opportunity to demonstrate how AI can benefit both sides of the healthcare experience—making it easier for patients to access and navigate care while reducing administrative friction for physicians and their teams. Our goal is to create a more connected healthcare experience that improves access, strengthens engagement, and allows providers to spend more time caring for patients.”

“Quality execution is at the heart of value-based care,” said David Klebonis, Chief Operating Officer of Palm Beach Accountable Care Organization. “Our goal is to eliminate unnecessary work and elevate what has the greatest impact on patients. When thoughtfully applied, AI can reduce clicks and administrative burden, surface the right information at the right time, and enable timely interventions that support better outcomes. Ultimately, we want physicians and their teams spending less time managing workflows and more time focused on the patients who need them most.”

METTAWA, Ill., Sept. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Brunswick Corporation (NYSE: BC), the global leader in marine manufacturing and technology, today announced that Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors & Chief Executive Officer David Foulkes, will retire from Brunswick at the end of the year.  Aine Denari, currently Executive Vice President and President, Navico Group, and Brunswick Chief Technology Officer has been appointed Chief Executive Officer and will join the Brunswick Board of Directors effective January 1, 2027. David Everitt, currently Brunswick Lead Independent Director, will assume the role of Non-Executive Chairman  also effective January 1, 2027.

“It has been the greatest honor and privilege of my professional life to lead Brunswick Corporation as CEO for the last eight years,” said Foulkes. “With the best leadership team in our industry and the hard work and support of our thousands of committed and talented global employees, we have built the world’s largest and most innovative marine technology company and have outperformed the market and delivered strong shareholder returns through a prolonged period of external turbulence.”

Foulkes has had a distinguished two-decade career at Brunswick, including service as the Company’s Chairman since February 2025 and Chief Executive Officer since January 2019, leading Brunswick through one of the most successful and transformational periods in its history.  Prior to his appointment as Chief Executive Officer, Foulkes served as the Company’s first Chief Technology Officer and ran Brunswick’s Boat Group and financial services businesses, which later became the core of Business Acceleration. His first role with Brunswick was as Vice President of Product Development in the Mercury Marine division, leading the development of the range of outboard, sterndrive, and diesel engines, and advanced controls that now form the core of Mercury Marine’s industry-leading product line-up.

“I am very proud of the exceptional organization we have built, the rich culture we have cultivated, and the leadership position we have earned across the recreational marine industry,” said Foulkes. “With the support of my colleagues, I have achieved much of what I set out to do as Brunswick CEO. I am especially grateful to the Senior Management Team, whose individual and collective leadership I consider exceptional and among the strongest in any industry. I also want to thank my family, especially my wife Gillian, whose unwavering support made my professional achievements possible.”

Foulkes continued, “One of the most important duties of the CEO is to work with the Board to prepare a successor. I believe the time is right for a transition, and I am extremely confident that Aine is the right person to lead Brunswick on the next stage of its journey.  Aine’s broad skill set as a business and technology leader, her strong commitment to Brunswick’s employees and partners, her deep understanding of the marine industry and her ability to deliver financial results will position Brunswick for continued success. I look forward to working with Aine to ensure the smoothest possible transition.”

In 2024, as part of Brunswick’s robust talent development and rotation process, Denari moved into a dual role as President of Navico Group and Brunswick Chief Technology Officer, further broadening her marine, technology, and enterprise leadership experience. In these roles, she helped drive Navico Group market share gains, strong financial performance, and new product innovation from brands such as Lowrance and Simrad including AutoCaptain, the market’s first fully integrated autonomous boat docking solution. She joined Brunswick in 2020 as Executive Vice President and President of Brunswick Boat Group, leading the business through dynamic market conditions while launching new and award-winning boat models and brands and delivering strong financial results. Denari also serves as a director of Masco Corporation. Her experience spans multiple industries, geographies, and customer channels, and she is well positioned to build on Brunswick’s legacy of advanced technology, product leadership, and continuous improvement. 

Denari brings deep engineering expertise and business leadership experience, supported by advanced degrees in engineering and business as well as executive education from several globally recognized institutions, including Stanford, Northwestern, Purdue, the University of Detroit Mercy, and University College Dublin.

“I am thrilled to be appointed CEO of Brunswick Corporation, an exceptional company with a proud legacy, and I look forward to building on its strong foundation,” said Denari. “I thank Dave and the Board for their confidence and trust, and I am committed to a seamless transition. As we move forward, we will continue to execute the strategy outlined at our 2026 Investor Day and build on our strong momentum to deliver transformational growth. I deeply believe in our Next Never Rests culture of continuous improvement and am excited to help lead the next generation of innovative, technology-enabled solutions that make boating easier and more enjoyable.

I look forward to working with our Board and leadership team to support and develop our award-winning global workforce of 14,500 employees, while continuing to create long-term value for our shareholders and all stakeholders”

Everitt commented, “This leadership transition is the culmination of the Board’s robust and thoughtful succession planning process leveraging the Company’s talent development work. On behalf of the entire Board, our employees, customers, and shareholders, I thank Dave for his remarkable service and his commitment to ready the next generation of Brunswick leaders and maintain an award-winning culture. We are confident Aine is the ideal next CEO for Brunswick, and we are excited to work with her as she leads the Company forward to deliver its next phase of growth and success.”

It is well positioned to be a leader in two-phase, direct-to-chip liquid cooling, and John Hewitt is the right leader for Accelsius at this important time,” said Bill Grieco, Innventure’s CEO. “Innventure is committed to Accelsius’ success as they execute against their key milestones,” continued Dr. Grieco.

Streamlining Parent-Level Operations

The Company continues to take further actions to reduce its cash requirements and align the structure of the organization with its current priorities. Since the start of Q2 2026, the Company has significantly reduced parent-level headcount and operating expenses. By the end of 2026, the Company expects quarterly parent-level cash expenses to be approximately $3.2 million, compared with $7.5 million at the beginning of 2026, a reduction of approximately 56%. These amounts exclude debt service, severance, litigation, and certain other non-recurring expenses. As appropriate, the Company will continue to keep shareholders updated as further progress is made.

“Innventure remains committed to disciplined stewardship and long-term shareholder value, supported by independent Board oversight,” said Bill Grieco. “We are taking decisive steps at the parent-company level and evaluating funding alternatives with a focus on managing costs while protecting the value of our interests in Accelsius,” Dr. Grieco continued.

Eric Stober to Join as Chief Financial Officer

Innventure has appointed Eric Stober as Chief Financial Officer, effective October 19, 2026. Mr. Stober brings public-company finance experience and a track record helping businesses navigate strategic transformations and periods of change. He served for nine years as Chief Financial Officer of Astrotech Corporation (Nasdaq: ASTC), where he played a key role in restructuring the company, managed the sale of its satellite operations business to Lockheed Martin, and spearheaded capital formation. He most recently served as Chief Financial Officer of Capital Factory, previously held private-equity roles, and holds an MBA from the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas at Austin and a bachelor’s degree in finance from the University of Illinois.

In connection with Mr. Stober’s appointment, Innventure’s current Chief Financial Officer, David Yablunosky, will step down from that role on October 19, 2026. Thereafter, Mr. Yablunosky will serve in an advisory role for a transitional period.

Michael Madon Joins as New Independent Director Following Certain Board Resignations

The Board appointed Michael Madon as a new independent director, effective as of September 28, 2026. He currently serves as Chief Revenue Officer of ABCorp, a secure printing and additive manufacturing company, and has founded and led venture-backed cybersecurity and AI companies, including Ataata, Inc., a cybersecurity training and awareness platform, which was acquired by Mimecast Limited, an information security company. He serves on the board of Cyabra (Nasdaq: CYAB), an AI-driven threat intelligence company, and The Village Bank, and previously served on the boards of TeleCommunication Systems and VerifyMe.

He holds an MBA from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, a Master of International Affairs degree from Columbia University and a bachelor’s degree from Cornell University.

On September 18, 2026, Michael Otworth and John Hewitt resigned from the Innventure Board to further increase the Innventure Board’s independence.

Mr. Hewitt will continue to serve as the Chief Executive Officer of Accelsius; Mr. Otworth will provide transitional advisory services to the Company.

Mr. Brown continued, “We are pleased to welcome Michael Madon, whose significant experience will further strengthen the Board’s ability to provide rigorous oversight and hold management accountable to shareholders.

Building on its AI soldier gear breakthrough earlier this year, the 25-year-old defense innovator solidifies its role at the vanguard of defense tech

ROCHESTER, NEW YORK, Sept. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Syntec Optics Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: OPTX), a leading provider of deep tech for the defense, space, and AI data centers, today announced the most critical order in its 25-year history: a monumental order to enable vital U.S. Space Force infrastructure and advanced reconnaissance operations. 

“This is the most significant milestone in our over the quarter-century history,” said Dean Rudy, CFO. “Working alongside the nation’s greatest minds, we are proud to scale our technology to protect our skies and secure the country’s future.”

Strategic Alignment with National Defense Priorities

This milestone arrives at a pivotal inflection point for national defense, directly aligning with a sweeping prioritization of space as a primary security frontier. Air Force Secretary Troy Meink spoke at the Air & Space Forces Association’s annual conference in Maryland, providing the first-ever public confirmation: “The threat is changing actually faster than thought possible.” 

Syntec’s advanced technology positions the company at the forefront of this vital, rapidly evolving operational landscape.

Meink’s landmark doctrine shift followed an executive order issued by the U.S. President to establish a commission to further advance space as a core defense arm. Further underscoring the urgency of these developments, NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman stressed the vital nature of these defense commitments in a recent interview, stating, “I’d be extremely concerned if we didn’t have the United States Space Force looking out for us.” 

Advanced Optics for Next-Gen Satellite Constellations

To meet this imperative national security need, Syntec will contribute by building optics for government satellite constellations that are intended to protect the country. The U.S. National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) is beginning to build out the constellation, and the U.S. Space Force can use the information sent down to help keep our military safe. NRO states that having hundreds of satellites as part of this constellation shall provide greater reconnaissance revisit rates, increased coverage, and eliminate single points of failure when satellites are attacked by the enemy. The farthest reaches of the planet are within our grasp—to see it, hear it, and sense it.

Syntec’s optics can survive the hot and freezing temperatures of space, and they can very accurately track things on Earth in real time without missing a beat.

Matt Carey, vice president at Syntec and ex-Marine, said, “Because we already know how to make thousands of optics for amazing communication satellites, we are ready to help with reconnaissance. Our military—the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard—all need sharp, clear views of Earth to do their jobs.” He added, “We have talked about convergence of space and defense futures all year; our team is excited to help out.”

Syntec will contribute to gathering critical information that can be beamed safely and very fast straight from space down to military bases on Earth, without needing ground stations that could break down.

Growing Backlog

Dean Rudy, the company’s CFO, added, “The NRO is funding a giant network of low-flying satellites, and the Space Force is going to keep growing that network through the rest of the 2020s. With the dawn of the space age 60 years ago in America, we are now at a tipping point of the limitless potential of space to make our nation even safer and stronger. We are beginning to build a pro forma for space product lines in excess of $100 million in backlog.”

Syntec has already built thousands of special laser connections so satellites can talk to each other in space, and is fully ready to help defend the United States.

SSD Press Release Image_Sept. 21, 2026

MONTREAL, Sept. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bombardier today announced that its highly-influential Safety Standdown safety seminar is returning to Wichita, Kansas on November 10-12, celebrating 30 years of Bombardier-led knowledge-based training in one of America’s most important aviation hubs. Bringing together aviation professionals from across America and around the world, this free-to-attend three-day seminar will be held in person and online and will feature unique learning opportunities, dynamic workshops and cutting-edge presentations by key industry thought leaders. The seminar is open to all aviation professionals from all manufacturers, regardless of the aircraft type they operate.

The theme for the milestone 30th anniversary event focuses on “Evolution Fueled by Legacy,” reminding aviation professionals that progress doesn’t happen by chance. It happens because they choose to learn, adapt, and act. The wisdom gained from past experiences, for example, helps pave the way for our future, providing the foundation for tomorrow. Registration for this year’s milestone event is now open.

“For 30 years, Bombardier’s Safety Standdown has provided aviation professionals with invaluable opportunities to glean new perspectives on safety, helping them evolve and grow in every aspect of flight operations,” said Chris Milligan, Vice President, Pre-owned Aircraft Services and Flight Operations, Bombardier. “This free-to-attend conference is coming back to Wichita, the air capital of the world, again this year to provide aviation professionals with an opportunity to hone their skills by enabling sought-after industry experts to share invaluable information about aviation safety – and we are honoured to be safety stewards, leading the way for a better tomorrow.”

Since its inception, Safety Standdown has offered free safety-based educational opportunities for a wide range of aviation professionals. Bombardier works closely with its advisory council and key sponsors to ensure this seminar remains free of charge and explores safety knowledge-based learning in all sectors of the aviation industry.

First conceived by a group of Learjet demonstration pilots who were determined to make the Bombardier flight demonstration team in Wichita the safest in the industry, Safety Standdown continues to grow in size and scope. Attendees span the industry spectrum from flight crews and maintenance technicians to flight dispatchers and schedulers. They also represent a wide range of corporate, commercial and military organizations. Since its inception, more than 10,000 aviation professionals have attended Safety Standdown seminars worldwide, either at live seminars or through its webcasts.

Headlining this year’s seminar, as in previous years, is the popular Dr. Tony Kern, CEO of Convergent Performance. Dr. Kern will kick off this year’s event with a provocative keynote that traces a direct line from John Boyd’s legendary combat instincts to the algorithms now reshaping how we perceive risk. Other poignant presentations at this year’s milestone event include: Ivan Pupulidy, PhD, University of Alabama at Birmingham and author of “Human & Organization Potential”, exploring “Risk: The Untold Story”; Jermaine Cadogan, a 20-plus year retired U.S. Marine Corps Major who enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps as an Aviation Ordnance Marine presenting, “Building a Culture of Excellence & Proactive Compliance”; and Tim Wade, Corporate Director of Environmental, Health & Safety, Flexjet sharing, “What you lead, you leave”, a look at the importance of sharing your safety legacy. The full program for Bombardier’s 30th Safety Standdown can be found here.
