PITTSBURGH, May 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — “As a technician, I needed a smoother tool for pushing telecom, AV, electrical, and low voltage cables,” said an inventor, from Clarksboro, N.J., “so I invented the GLOW ROD. My design offers a smoother connection point, which helps prevent issues with the connections breaking off.”

The invention provides an improved tool designed to increase smoothness when pushing cables through conduit, drop ceilings, walls, etc. In doing so, it helps prevent issues associated with breakage at the connection point. It also helps save time. Additionally, the invention features an effective design that is easy to use.

The GLOW ROD is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers. For more information, visit www.glowrod.net. Or contact Ethan Andress at 609-519-0287 or email info@glowrod.net.

WILMINGTON, Del., May 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Synteq Digital (“Synteq”), a global provider of data center hardware services and infrastructure solutions, announced today that it has entered into a binding agreement for the acquisition of Crunchbits LLC, a fast-growing high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure and services provider.

Crunchbits offers affordable and powerful server solutions with a focus on server rentals, including VPS, VDS, Dedicated Servers, and GPU Servers.  As part of its operational scope and scale, Crunchbits has 7 active data center operations in the USA, located strategically across Washington State, Pennsylvania, New York, and Texas.

For current Crunchbits customers, this transaction will be seamless from an operating and support standpoint. The same trusted team will remain in place, led by founder Eric Yingling, who will continue to serve as a direct point of contact for many clients. But at the same time, clients will be receiving an upgrade across the board. Backed by Synteq’s team, capital, engineering scale, and global footprint, customers can expect even greater service reliability, faster turnaround times, and access to newer, more powerful hardware—while still benefiting from the same nimble, execution-focused approach they’ve come to rely on.

This strategic acquisition marks a major step forward in Synteq’s mission to deliver scalable, performance-driven solutions for next-generation computing workloads. As part of the acquisition, Crunchbits founder Eric Yingling joins Synteq as VP of HPC Operations, where he will lead execution and operations across Synteq’s growing HPC portfolio. Crunchbits CTO Yann St. Arnaud also joins the team as Director of HPC Technical Operations, along with all remaining team members covering client, network, and hardware support.

Eric brings over a decade of real-world data center experience, forged through a unique career path spanning military service in the U.S. Marine Corps, digital asset mining, and hands-on infrastructure deployment. Starting in 2012, Eric launched one of the earliest large-scale GPU mining operations engineered for uptime and efficiency—eventually founding Crunchbits in 2021 and scaling it into a respected name in the HPC hosting space.

“Eric’s proven operational track record and experienced team position us to rapidly expand our HPC data center capabilities,” said Taras Kulyk, CEO of Synteq Digital. “His expertise and innovative approach to data center infrastructure have already delivered remarkable growth, and we’re excited to build on that momentum together.”

“I am truly excited to integrate Crunchbits into Synteq Digital,” said Eric Yingling. “Synteq provides a powerful corporate platform for growth, allowing us to deliver enhanced value to our customers through superior hardware, faster support, and deeper technical expertise-all while maintaining the practical, performance-driven approach that has defined our success. The strong alignment in culture and vision between our teams establishes a solid foundation for scalable growth and continued innovation across the organization.”

Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, a Stifel Company, acted as exclusive financial advisor and Cozen O’Connor acted as legal counsel to Synteq on this transaction.

LONDON, May 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As the United Kingdom and India announce a historic Free Trade Agreement (FTA), India Global Forum (IGF) and the UK India Future Forum (UKIFF) commend the sustained efforts of both governments in achieving this landmark economic milestone. We acknowledge the complexities involved in such negotiations and recognise the dedication of all stakeholders in navigating these challenges.

The UK-India FTA signifies more than a trade pact; it embodies a shared vision for a comprehensive strategic partnership. It reflects a mutual commitment to fostering economic growth, innovation, and cultural exchange between our two nations. Over the years, IGF has served as a critical platform facilitating dialogue among policymakers, business leaders, and civil society, consistently bridging contexts, and promoting collaboration across sectors.

Manoj Ladwa, Founder & Chairman, India Global Forum and UK India Future Forum said: “My congratulations to Prime Ministers Narendra Modi and Kier Starmer, as well as the negotiation teams of both countries. FTAs are notoriously complex and this truly is a remarkable achievement that will serve both countries well. This agreement represents a significant milestone in UK–India relations, underscoring the potential of our partnership and the opportunities that lie ahead. It is a testament to what can be achieved when diplomacy, pragmatism, and partnership come together with purpose, and of course, it is proof that democracies work best when democracies work together.”

Looking ahead, IGF remains committed to supporting the implementation of this agreement. We will continue to provide spaces for constructive dialogue, monitor progress, and encourage initiatives that deepen UK–India ties, particularly at our upcoming flagship programme in the UK, IGF London 2025. IGF London (June 16-20) will be the first major international platform to celebrate this achievement and to explore its real-world impact.

The signing of the agreement, a decade since Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s first bilateral visit to Britain, underscores how far the UK–India relationship has progressed, anchored in mutual strategic interest, economic ambition, and shared global outlook.
