SHERIDAN, WYOMING -- June 25, 2026 -- Dentsply Sirona and HeyGears have announced the successful validation of Lucitone Digital Print Denture resins for one-piece denture production on HeyGears' new UltraCraft Multi-Material Fusion DLP 3D printer. The validation extends an existing collaboration between the two companies and establishes a production pathway that eliminates the bonding step previously required to attach Lucitone Digital IPN 3D denture teeth to the denture base. Dental laboratories using the combined workflow can now produce complete monolithic dentures in a single print run while maintaining the mechanical strength, esthetics, and durability associated with the Lucitone material platform. The announcement covers full-arch and partial denture applications.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING -- June 18, 2026 -- Epta has introduced MyEpta, a multi-function digital platform designed to serve as a single access point for all technical data, asset management, and service resources across its refrigeration equipment. Debuted at EuroShop 2026, the platform sits at the centre of Epta's broader shift toward a 360-degree service model — one that combines hardware, software, qualified personnel, and consulting across the full lifecycle of a retail store. The move marks a deliberate repositioning: Epta is no longer presenting itself as a cabinet manufacturer, but as a Fully Integrated Solutions Provider. For retailers managing large installed bases of refrigeration equipment, the implications run from maintenance scheduling to in-store media monetisation.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING -- June 18, 2026 -- Epta has launched the Zenith line of positive vertical display cabinets, a refrigeration range built around four stated pillars: merchandising performance, sustainability, reliability, and digital services. First presented at EuroShop 2026 in Düsseldorf, the line is now commercially available across remote CO2 and integral propane configurations. Alongside the product launch, Epta introduced "Good Never Stops" as its updated value proposition — framing the company's commercial direction around long-term integrity, reliability, and continuous improvement. For grocery retailers, the Zenith lineup targets the fresh department as a direct driver of store identity and customer loyalty.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING — June 17, 2026 — Tokyo-based developer White Owls Inc. has confirmed that Hotel Barcelona, its action-horror roguelike from Hidetaka Suehiro and Goichi Suda, moved from a "Mixed" to a "Positive" user-review rating on Steam. The shift follows a multi-month "Under New Management" relaunch built around a full gameplay rebalance, an interface rebuild, and sustained community and media outreach. Publisher Dark Product directed the repositioning and platform strategy, while agency Goldpact Goblins ran the global campaign across creators, streaming, and editorial coverage. For marketing and communications teams, the case offers a concrete look at how coordinated execution across development, publishing, and outreach can repair a damaged product reputation without a ground-up relaunch.
