Hangzhou – September 11, 2026 -- HEVI Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Greenland Technologies Holding Corporation (NASDAQ: GTEC), has secured approval from the New York Vehicle Inspection Program (NYVIP) for two of its heavy electric industrial vehicles, opening access to state purchase incentives.

New York adds two HEVI loaders to its eligible equipment list

The H55L, a 5-ton electric loader, and the H65L, a 6.5-ton electric loader, are now listed under NYVIP's incentive-eligible equipment. Buyers who replace old equipment with these units can claim 35% of the base equipment cost, plus up to a $100,000 Disadvantaged Communities (DAC) bonus per unit.

Syracuse, N.Y. and Titusville, Fla. – September 11, 2026 -- C Speed, backed by NewSpring Holdings Federal, has renamed itself Protora, unveiling a new corporate identity alongside three mission-specific radar product lines: RushLight, DomeWatcher and WingWatcher.

Rebrand marks shift from custom builds to scaled product lines

The name change caps 20 years of radar and surveillance development for the Department of War, the Department of Homeland Security and international partners. Protora says the rebrand reflects its evolution from bespoke, mission-specific radar engineering toward delivering proven capabilities at commercial scale for defense, homeland security and allied customers.

Plymouth, Massachusetts – September 11, 2026 -- CDF Corporation has launched the Squiz® System in North America, an automated liner evacuation technology that cut residual product waste by up to 96 percent in manufacturer trials on thick cosmetic creams. The system targets a persistent cost center in liquid manufacturing: product left behind inside intermediate bulk container (IBC) liners after conventional pumping.

System reduces residual product to 0.1-0.2 percent after dispense

Manufacturers handling thick, slow-moving liquids that cling to liner walls typically lose measurable product volume across every container cycle, a loss that compounds over multiple cycles per year. CDF states the Squiz System brings average residual product levels down to between 0.1 and 0.2 percent, a sharp reduction from standard pumping outcomes.

Beverly, Mass. – September 11, 2026 -- Axcelis Technologies (Nasdaq: ACLS) will invest $35 million to build a new ion implantation equipment manufacturing facility in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province, Korea, with production slated to begin in the second half of 2028.

Axcelis expands Korean manufacturing footprint with 200,000-square-foot plant

The Pyeongtaek site will span approximately 200,000 square feet of gross floor area, integrating warehousing, Class 1,000 and Class 10,000 cleanrooms, and a dedicated training center. The company said the design draws on nearly 50 years of semiconductor capital equipment manufacturing experience to create a lean production environment aimed at faster, more flexible customer response.

Newark, N.J. – September 11, 2026 -- Agilis, a digital and AI platform provider for the chemical industry, has formed an Advisory Board staffed with former senior executives from Dow, BASF, Brenntag, allnex and Boston Consulting Group to guide its enterprise scaling and international expansion.

The company says it has run AI features in production with customers since 2024, a stage many chemical industry peers have yet to reach as they remain in pilot testing. The new board is tasked with advising on strategy, product direction, enterprise adoption, commercial execution and international growth.

New York – September 11, 2026 -- Copper Intelligence Inc.
