SINGAPORE, Dec. 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Geberit, a leading provider of sanitary products and systems, unveiled a guarantee for 50 years of spare parts availability for all replaceable mechanical components of their concealed cisterns, including the actuator plate, earlier this year.

This significant extension doubles the previous 25-year guarantee, further exemplifying Geberit’s commitment to exceptional quality and customer satisfaction over the long term.

Durability – A Plus for the Environment and Customers 

With over five decades of in-house production experience, Geberit has ensured the availability of spare parts for their concealed cisterns for over 50 years, making upgrading seamless and individual parts easily repairable or replaceable. The company takes pride in combining quality manufacturing with durability and tradition, as its concealed cisterns have adorned modern bathrooms for years. 

"At Geberit, we firmly believe in creating products that stand the test of time," said Michael Allenspach, Managing Director at Geberit North and Southeast Asia. "Our 50-year spare parts availability demonstrates our dedication to reliable, long-lasting products that offer stability and peace of mind."

Engineered for heavy usage, the concealed cistern frame integrated into the wall and toilet can bear loads of up to 400 kg. In addition, each cistern undergoes stringent quality checks and is blow-moulded in one piece to prevent leaks and defects over decades of use.

Effortless Maintenance and Upgradeability 

The extended 50-year guarantee enables easy maintenance and upgradability. With the backwards compatibility of continuously improved components, customers can constantly update their cistern technology.

By installing concealed cisterns behind the wall, Geberit also ensures that technical components stay out of sight and mind when cleaning. This hidden design reduces water usage and enhances water efficiency as well.

An Eco-Friendly, Customer-Focused Approach

Geberit’s durable concealed cisterns exemplify the company’s eco-friendly, customer-first strategy. The long lifespan avoids premature replacement, saving customers unnecessary work and expenses and reducing environmental impact. 

"As a sustainability-focused company, Geberit aims to manufacture products that contribute to our shared goals around resource conversation," said Michael Allenspach.

Service is the first global W3C-compliant Verifiable Credential implementation and will be initially used by China domestic users travelling abroad

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Dec. 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Zetrix, a layer 1 public blockchain platform, today announced the launch of its groundbreaking Digital Credentials platform, ushering in a new era of secure, convenient, and interoperable credentials verification. This innovative solution addresses the challenges of traditional paper-based credentials, offering a range of benefits that will transform the way individuals, organisations, and governments interact in the digital realm.

[From the left] Mr. Wong Thean Soon, Group Managing Director of MY E.G. Services Berhad and Zetrix Co-founder; Mr. Huang Xuejun, Vice Chairman of the Board and General Manager of Guangxi Beibu Gulf Investment Group Co., Ltd; YAB Dato’ Seri Dr. Ahmad Zahid Bin Hamidi, Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia; and Datuk Mohd Jimmy Wong Bin Abdullah, Non-independent Non-Executive Director of MY E.G. Services Berhad at the launching of ZCert.

The launch marks the commercialisation of the collaboration announced on 18th September 2023 between Malaysia’s MY E.G. Services Berhad and China’s state-owned Guangxi Beitou IT Innovation Technology Investment Group Co Ltd ("Beitou"), the IT arm of Guangxi Beibu Gulf Investment Group listed as one of China’s Top 500 enterprises.

The launch was held on 9th December 2023 at Ritz-Carlton Hotel Kuala Lumpur and officiated by Malaysia’s Deputy Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

The service initially will be offered to domestic China nationals who can choose to digitise their National ID or driving licence as a Verifiable Credential ("VC") on Xinghuo International, the international gateway for China’s national Public Blockchain. Through Zetrix, which is integrated with Xinghuo, the National ID or driving licence VC can then be presented abroad to be authenticated by any verifier wishing to verify the relevant identity or driving licence data according to their needs.

Beitou IT’s integration to China’s nationwide police and transport department databases ensures seamless authentication and digitisation of the documents into VCs.

Furthermore, in view of the immutability of blockchain, verifiers will have the assurance of knowing that the VCs and all data contained in the document are true and genuine.

It is foreseen that besides IDs and driving licences, other important credential documents held by individuals or businesses would also be digitised as VCs in the near future. 

Enhancing Security and Combating Breach of Data

The use of digital credentials, with the initial pilot of driving licences based on blockchain technology will significantly enhance security and combat counterfeiting of electronic licences. By leveraging on the Self Sovereign Identity ("SSI") framework, Zetrix’s Digital Credentials platform enables the real time verification of documents digitised as Verifiable Credentials, providing a robust defence against fraud and forgery.

"In addition to ensuring authenticity, documents digitised as Verifiable Credentials offer the ability for selective disclosure or confirmation of data. For instance, document holders can have their age or their home location verified without actually having to provide their date of birth or full address. This is extremely useful as it protects raw user data from being shared unless absolutely necessary, thus reducing the possibilities of cyber attacks," explained TS Wong, founder of Zetrix.

Lai Shuiping, Chairman of the Board of Guangxi Beitou IT Innovation Investment Group Co.,Ltd, Lai Shuiping, said: "The China-ASEAN digital driving license cross-border verification platform is jointly developed by Beitou IT and MYEG. The platform will continue to expand into providing more convenient services for communication between citizens of China and ASEAN countries, and promote economic development across the entire region."

"In future, Beitou IT will further strengthen cooperation with Malaysian enterprises in the field of transportation digitalisation, and promote continuous improvement of intelligent transportation in ASEAN countries," Lai added.

Multi-Chain e-Wallet for International Travelers

Zetrix’s Digital Credentials platform also leverages a multi-chain e-wallet that is able to store Zetrix’s native tokens as well as VCs from Xinghuo International and Ethereum. This feature facilitates seamless cross chain transactions and simplifies identity and document verification across multiple scenarios, enhancing the experience for travelling individuals.

The digital credentials service exemplifies the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) standards of Verifiable Credentials and Decentralised Identifiers as Self-Sovereign Identity. This will be a key catalyst to enable a greater interoperability across blockchains and decentralised applications.

About Zetrix

Zetrix is a layer-1 public blockchain that facilitates smart contracts and delivers privacy, security and scalability. Zetrix’s cryptographic infrastructure can be introduced to multiple industries to connect governments, businesses and their citizens to a global blockchain-based economy. Developed by MY E.G. Services Bhd, the cross-border and cross-chain integration with China enables Zetrix to serve as a blockchain gateway that facilitates global trade by deploying critical building blocks for Web3 services such as Blockchain-based Identifiers (BID) and Verifiable Credentials (VC).

SAO PAULO, Dec. 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — MGI Tech Co. Ltd., a company committed to building core tools and technology to lead life science, today announced partnerships with Genos Médica, a Mexico-based specialized center in genomics, and TCL Group, a company dedicated to the import and sales of laboratory equipment and supplies in Chile, respectively. The two partnerships will see MGI providing its state-of-the-art sequencing and lab automation platforms to local partners in Latin America, underscoring its commitment to expand genomics and transform human health in the region.

Sequencer from MGI using in TCL GROUP’s lab

"Over the last four years, we have witnessed rapid growth in the high-throughput sequencing market in Latin America and are confident in its upward trajectory. As one of our focus markets, we have carried out a series of partnerships within the region and achieved significant outcomes," said Carlos Carpio, Senior Commercial Director of MGI LATAM and General Manager of MGI Brazil, "We are thrilled to partner with Genos Médica and TCL Group to increase our presence further within the vibrant biotech ecosystem in LATAM and look forward to unlocking new opportunities for advancing local healthcare."

The healthcare landscape in Latin America has been changing swiftly, with demand for high-throughput sequencing technologies and testing growing as our population ages, the number of cancer patients rises, and chronic diseases become more prevalent. Through genetic testing, scientific researchers are able to identify the sequence of DNA or RNA to study genetic variation associated with diseases and respond with tailored treatment. However, limited access to relevant technologies and training programs due to high instrument and maintenance costs has notably hindered the development of the space and widespread adoption of high-throughput sequencing. In this regard, MGI is determined to facilitate genomics for all by empowering local laboratories and institutes with innovative life science tools and enhancing their genetic testing capabilities.

Founded in 2011 in Mexico City, Genos Médica provides comprehensive management to patients and their family members with hereditary diseases with its consultation services and specialized laboratory. Facing enormous genetic testing needs from all over Mexico, Genos Médica has partnered with MGI to establish a complete and efficient workflow with faster turnaround times consisting of MGI’s DNBSEQ-T7* Ultra-high-throughput Genetic Sequencer, DNBSEQ-G50* Benchtop Genetic Sequencer, MGISP-960 High-Throughput Automated Sample Preparation System, and data platform appliance ZTRON.

"Due to the genetic richness of people in Latin America and rising demands for genetic testing, we have been in search of advanced yet affordable technologies to develop a deeper understanding of our genetic variations and improve patient outcomes," said Dr. Ocelotl Azotla Vilchis, Genetic Scientist at Genos Médica. "Sharing the same belief and goal, we are pleased to collaborate with MGI and leverage their accessible and innovative sequencing solutions to address demands and challenges in LATAM’s growing genomics market."

Meanwhile in Chile, TCL Group, a renowned company with 28 years of experience providing diagnostics and biotech solutions locally, has joined hands with MGI to import five units of the versatile DNBSEQ-G400* benchtop sequencer and three of the ultra-high speed DNBSEQ-G99* sequencer, providing their customers with accurate, efficient and cost-effective sequencing options. Additionally, TCL Group has also purchased MGISP-960 and MGISP-100 automated sample preparation systems to accommodate emerging market needs.  

"Having built a great reputation in Chile for our excellent service to clients with high-quality life sciences equipment and supplies, we have seen the genomics market evolve and demands for more comprehensive, flexible and efficient instruments increase," said Dr Carlos Meyer-Regueiro, Scientific Advisor of TCL Group. "We are thrilled to work with MGI and are confident in the comprehensive capabilities of their technologies and instruments in satisfying a variety of genomics needs, with an outstanding technical support team."

With LATAM as one of its focus markets, MGI has consistently demonstrated its commitment to expediting the adoption of cutting-edge sequencing technologies and advancing patient care within the region. Earlier this year, MGI announced partnerships with Gencell in Colombia to realize this goal. Integrating Gencell’s expertise and local market presence with MGI’s advanced DNBSEQ™ technology, the collaboration aims to enhance Gencell’s sequencing capacity and data analysis capabilities with a complete workflow that includes some of MGI’s extensive products, such as DNBSEQ-T7*, DNBSEQ-G400*, MGISP-960, MGISP-100 and ZTRON.

Lastly, to increase the level of support for customers and partners in Latin America, MGI is set to open a new Customer Experience Center (CEC) in São Paulo, Brazil by Q1 2024. As a service hub, the future CEC will provide the growing number of local MGI customers and partners with expertise in high-throughput sequencing technology and specialized automation workflows to further upgrade local technical expertise across Latin America.

Looking ahead, MGI will continue to work closely with customers and partners in Latin America to lower barriers to genomics access, empower scientific breakthroughs and improve human health through its highly advanced and accessible life sciences technologies.
