New York – September 08, 2026 -- Datamaran has overhauled its brand identity, repositioning itself as an AI-driven corporate governance platform after more than 12 years focused primarily on ESG issue management. The company launched a new visual identity, brand positioning and website today to match a product base that now serves risk, legal and executive teams rather than sustainability departments alone.

Legal and risk officers now sit in nearly one-third of Datamaran's deals

Chief Revenue Officer Nick Geurds said legal and risk executives are now active participants in almost a third of ongoing transactions, alongside sustainability leads. He said these buyers require a data-driven governance process rather than a sustainability dashboard, and the rebrand allows the sales team to pitch a message aligned with that audience.

Stuttgart – September 08, 2026 -- HiKOKI, a member of the KOKI Group, unveiled a new generation of cordless framing nailers for the European market that fire up to 5.0 nails per second while eliminating hoses, compressors and gas cartridges entirely.
