Circus Commences Operations with Ukrainian Ground Forces

MUNICH - Thursday, 16. July 2026

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Circus SE (WKN: A2YN35 / ISIN: DE000A2YN355 / XETRA: CA1), today announces the commencement of live operations of its robotic-based troop supply technology with the 3rd Army Corps of the Ukrainian Ground Forces in the Kyiv area – marking the first ever use of autonomous meal supply systems within an active conflict environment.

Ahead of deployment, Circus received regulatory certification from the State Service of Ukraine for Food Safety and Consumer Protection. This certification confirms compliance with all applicable health, quality, and safety standards required to import the company's technology into Ukraine, and clears the path for operational use at scale.

Soldiers are supplied using Circus's full technology stack, comprising the hardware system, AI-controlled software, and proprietary ingredient infrastructure that underpins autonomous meal production in military environments.

The deployment marks Circus's entry into the Ukrainian market and the operational commencement of the partnership with the 3rd Army Corps of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, first announced in December 2025 under a framework agreement covering up to 25 autonomous robotic systems.

“This technology is improving the entire food supply chain in the armed forces. It doesn’t replace our catering forces; it complements them, closing the gaps where we couldn’t reach soldiers with nutritious food quickly enough. For situations like ours, it’s the best solution possible.” – Major of the 3rd Army Corps Brigade of the Ukrainian Ground Forces commented on the launch.

The Ukraine launch follows the recent CA-1 robotic launch with the German Armed Forces and the successful award of a public procurement tender for autonomous meal supply with the Lithuanian Armed Forces on NATO's Eastern Flank.

ABOUT CIRCUS SE

Circus SE (XETRA: CA1) is a German dual-use technology company developing proprietary AI models, autonomous robotic sustainment systems, and a central operating platform for civilian and defence applications. With a globally active portfolio of autonomous meal supply robotics and high-volume serial production live, Circus is building the infrastructure for autonomous food supply – on a mission to fuel humanity.

K-Beauty Goes Global: Sales Surge 53% as Korean Innovation Reshapes Beauty Growth

New NIQ data shows K-Beauty value sales rose 53% year-over-year and 131% over two years, underscoring how regional beauty trends, social commerce and ingredient-led innovation are reshaping global beauty growth.


(BUSINESS WIRE) -- NIQ (NYSE: NIQ), a global leader in consumer intelligence, today released new findings showing K-Beauty has become a rapidly growing global beauty segment, with value sales up 53% year-over-year and 131% over the past two years. The data points to a broader shift in beauty growth, as regional innovation, social commerce and digitally driven consumer demand increasingly shape what scales globally.

In its latest report, K-Beauty Goes Global, NIQ shows how Korean beauty is reshaping consumer expectations, accelerating innovation cycles and redefining competitive dynamics across the global beauty market. What began as a culturally driven trend now offers a broader signal about the future of beauty: regional trends are increasingly driving global opportunity, and brands need timely intelligence to know which signals will scale next.


Key findings

  • Global growth: K-Beauty value sales rose 53% year-over-year and 131% over two years, underscoring rapid international expansion.
  • Social commerce acceleration: According to data published by TikTok Shop, searches for K-Beauty on the platform increased by 125% in the UK in 2025. Across the UK, US, Spain, and Germany, value sales for K-Beauty brands on TikTok Shop rose by 430% year-over-year, highlighting the role of discovery-to-purchase platforms.
  • Latin America: Brazil and Mexico delivered 135% value growth, signaling emerging momentum in the region.
  • North America: E-commerce represents 76% of K-Beauty sales, with Canada reaching $164 million in 2025, up 57% year-over-year.
  • Western Europe: Value growth reached 58% year-over-year. Korean brands now account for around 10% of European online skincare sales, rising to 15–20% in leading markets including Italy, Spain and France.

K-Beauty’s rise reflects a broader change in how beauty growth is created and scaled. Formats such as sheet masks, acne patches, essences, serums and ampoules have moved from niche routines into everyday habits, while ingredient-led innovation including snail mucin, centella asiatica and PDRN illustrates how some Korean beauty concepts have expanded beyond specialist audiences. At the same time, K-Beauty is raising the bar for affordable, high-performance products, faster innovation cycles and commerce models that connect discovery to purchase more seamlessly.

“K-Beauty has moved beyond trend status to become one of the clearest examples of how regional beauty innovation can translate into global growth,” said Tara James Taylor, SVP, Global Beauty Personal Care Vertical, NIQ. “Its success is built on speed, cultural relevance and the ability to turn innovation into everyday habits. More importantly, it shows how beauty brands now need to read emerging regional signals earlier, understand how consumer demand is shifting, and act faster across markets. The next phase of growth will come from expansion into adjacent categories such as wellness and haircare, and from scaling across high-growth regions like Latin America and the Middle East.”

NIQ’s analysis also points to continued momentum across APAC outside Korea and China, where K-Beauty grew 27%. In the Middle East, K-Beauty e-commerce growth reached 76%, reinforcing the role of digitally engaged consumers and high-interest markets in shaping the category’s next phase of expansion.

For brands, the takeaway goes beyond K-Beauty itself. The category offers one example of how global beauty trends are evolving: innovation is becoming more regionally driven, commerce is becoming more content-led, and the brands best positioned to win will be those that can turn early market signals into commercial action.

VIVERE Group Selects Rimini Street to Strengthen SAP Support and Accelerate Business Transformation

  LAS VEGAS - Tuesday, 14. July 2026 AETOSWire Print 



Indonesia-based integrated interior and furnishing solutions provider gains expert SAP support, freedom and capacity to advance transformation on its own terms


(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rimini Street, Inc. (Nasdaq: RMNI), the Software Support and Agentic AI ERP Company™ and the leading third-party support provider for Oracle, SAP and VMware software, today announced VIVERE Group, a leading Indonesian one-stop solution provider for interior contracting, furniture manufacturing and furnishing, has selected Rimini Support™ for SAP to help maintain business continuity, strengthen support for its critical SAP ECC environment and free internal IT resources to focus on digital transformation initiatives.


This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260714644251/en/


Strengthening SAP support while advancing transformation


Founded in 1984 and listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange since 2002, PT Gema Graham Sarana Tbk (IDX: GEMA) has grown into the core company of VIVERE Group, running SAP ECC 6 on IBM Db2 as a critical platform supporting operations across project-based work, manufacturing and distribution.


Faced with the end of support for its ECC system and a push to migrate to S/4HANA, VIVERE sought the advice of Gartner on roadmap options. Based on the conversations and peer recommendations, VIVERE determined that its investments would be best allocated to innovation rather than a costly, time-consuming upgrade to S/4HANA.


“Our core philosophy is to keep people, quality and business continuity at the center of our technology decisions,” said Sutrisno Yao, head of IT at VIVERE Group. “Technology should be a practical enabler that supports reliable operations, improves processes and strengthens the business without creating unnecessary disruption.”


VIVERE selected Rimini Street as its strategic partner, benefitting from immediate cost savings, expert SAP support and the ability to modernize on top of its existing systems.


“Rimini Street gives us confidence that our SAP environment is well supported, while giving our internal team more room to focus on improvements that help the business move forward,” said Yao.


Unlocking capacity for process improvement and future growth


As the company continues to grow and modernize, its IT team is focused on strengthening integration, improving process consistency and supporting broader digital transformation across the business.


“Our initial goal was clear: protect business continuity, strengthen SAP support and free up our internal team to focus on higher-value priorities,” Yao noted. “Rimini Street helps my team spend less time firefighting SAP and more time supporting process improvements and higher-value business needs.”


“In today’s highly competitive, volatile market, lowering the cost to operate and freeing up capital and talent is no longer a choice,” said Nancy Lyskawa, EVP and chief client officer, Rimini Street. “Forward-thinking companies such as VIVERE Group are choosing Rimini Street to create capacity for innovation and deliver it too.”
