New warehouse and distribution center in Avon seeks LEED Silver: US prestige beauty retailer partners with VanTrust to build a facility for its Midwest distribution

COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 10, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — VanTrust Real Estate, LLC is set to begin construction on a build-to-suit facility for Sephora, the leading prestige beauty omni-retailer in the US. The 746,672 square-foot structure will be located on 61 acres at Avon Landings Commerce Park in Avon, IN, and will serve as Sephora’s Midwest distribution center. The targeted completion date is summer 2025. This is VanTrust’s second project with Sephora, with the first facility completed in Las Vegas.

“Avon Landings is a 119-acre master-planned Park with a prime location, near Indianapolis, a dynamic market we continue to invest in. We are pleased that Sephora, one of the best-known retail brands in the world, has chosen to locate its distribution center here.”

“This is a significant project for VanTrust, and we appreciate the relationship we have built with the Sephora team,” said Phil Rasey, vice president of development at VanTrust. “We are thrilled that Sephora has once again chosen to partner with VanTrust, and we appreciate their confidence in our ability to successfully deliver the project in a timely manner. Avon Landings is a 119-acre master-planned Park with a prime location, near Indianapolis, a dynamic market we continue to invest in. We are pleased that Sephora, one of the best-known retail brands in the world, has chosen to locate its distribution center here.”

Avon Landings Commerce Park is located on Ronald Reagan Parkway in the Town of Avon, IN. Development of the Park was planned in two phases. Two years ago, VanTrust acquired 58 acres on a former regional airport, and broke ground on the first of three speculative buildings scheduled for Phase I. Building 1, totaling 332,000 square feet, has been completed. Development of sites for Buildings 2 and 3 will offer approximately 400,000 square feet when completed. VanTrust subsequently acquired an additional 61 acres for Phase 2 of the project. The Sephora building is taking all of the Phase 2 site.

“Sephora is proud to be able to grow our network of distribution centers to continue to elevate our consumer experience. A multi-state search culminated in selection of Avon Landings Commerce Park as the ideal site for our Midwest distribution center,” said Joe Zarzycki, VP of Planning & Engineering for Sephora. “Its proximity to a large metropolitan area and transportation hubs will provide direct access to our customers throughout the country. We look forward to the completion of the project and appreciate our continued relationship with VanTrust.”

Ryan Cannon, town manager for the Town of Avon, noted, “We were very pleased to partner with VanTrust in the creation of Avon Landings Commerce Park, and are thrilled to welcome a nationally recognized company like Sephora to the area. This project aligns with our focus of attracting companies to our region that will not only provide jobs but will also help to stimulate the local economy.”

The general contractor for the project is Pepper Construction. MacGregor Architects is the architect, with American Structurepoint designated as the civil engineer. Brokers representing Sephora were Toby Mink and Andrew Morris of CBRE.

Evermos Partners with the International Labour Organisation (ILO) to Deliver Entrepreneurship Training for Indonesia’s Vulnerable Groups

Published

on

By

BANDUNG, Indonesia, June 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Evermos, a Bandung-based reseller platform focused on MSME empowerment, sees significant potential for vulnerable groups to achieve economic empowerment through digital business. According to Statistics Indonesia (BPS), the labour force participation rate among persons with disabilities stood at only around 20% in early 2025, far behind the roughly 70% recorded among people without disabilities.

“We see digital business as a bridge to lower the barriers to economic access for persons with disabilities and returning migrant workers. No significant capital, no need for a physical location, a mobile phone is enough. This business model opens up the opportunity for them to build an independent and sustainable source of income.”
Iqbal Muslimin, Chief of Sustainability, Evermos

The collaboration runs under the ILO project Promise II Impact, which aims to improve MSMEs’ access to financial services and has been running since 2023. It aligns with Evermos’ vision of advancing MSME empowerment across Indonesia. Evermos provides the digital business ecosystem, from its reseller platform and curated halal products to business training and mentoring, while the ILO brings a decent work framework and financial literacy modules that help participants start digital businesses on sound financial footing.

Since 2023, more than 230 beneficiaries have felt the project’s impact across various cities. In March 2026, Evermos and the ILO, together with the Migrant Worker Resource Centre (MRC), delivered digital entrepreneurship training for migrant workers in Cirebon, West Java. A similar programme was also held in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, involving persons with disabilities from various groups, including those supported by the BPKK of the Indonesian Ministry of Manpower, the Indonesian Association of Women with Disabilities (HWDI) Sleman, and the Mitra Sejahtera Disability Empowerment Centre (PPDMS) Gunungkidul.

During the training, participants were guided to try selecting products to sell directly through the Evermos app, to apply digital marketing techniques, and to strengthen their entrepreneurial mindset so that earnings from their working years can grow into long-term productive assets. They were also introduced to and practised using WhatsApp Business as one tool to start a digital business. Meanwhile, the ILO team complemented the training with basic financial literacy so participants could manage their new businesses soundly.

“For us, digital transformation also becomes meaningful when it reaches vulnerable groups, those furthest from the information they need to empower themselves economically. Through Evermos, a person with a disability or a migrant worker returning to their hometown can start a business with nothing more than a smartphone, without significant capital — and that is what truly inclusive empowerment looks like.”
Arip Tirta, President, Evermos

“The conclusion of this series of activities is not the end of the participants’ journey, but the beginning of their path as digital entrepreneurs. Three years of experience have shown that when vulnerable groups gain access to the right skills, technology, and mentoring, they are able to create economic opportunities for themselves. The partnership between the ILO and Evermos is an example of how collaboration can help bring about more inclusive economic growth that leaves no one behind.”
Djauhari Sitorus, Project Manager, Promise II Impact

Closing out three years of the Promise II Impact project, Evermos and the ILO hope this contribution can encourage vulnerable groups to take part in driving Indonesia’s economic growth as digital entrepreneurs. By opening access to doing business digitally, vulnerable groups can become economically empowered and self-reliant. Beyond that, the collaboration is intended to serve as a model of inclusive empowerment that can be replicated across more regions — so that an economy open to all is not merely an aspiration, but something that can be realised.

About Evermos

Evermos is a reseller platform that integrates a distribution network, commerce services, and a curated range of halal products with business communities focused on serving underserved communities. Evermos supports the success of its resellers regardless of gender, educational background, or geographic location by providing regular business training and mentoring.

Evermos has also received various prestigious accolades, including the Top CSR Award – Star 4 2026, the Seal Business Sustainability Award 2025, the Nikkei Asia Award 2023, and the UN Women 2024 Indonesian Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs), and is a member of the global Endeavor Entrepreneur network. Evermos is also part of the World Economic Forum’s Global Innovators Community.

Innovid by Mediaocean Positioned as a Leader in the SPARK Matrix™: AdTech Platform, 2026 by QKS Group

Published

By

PUNE, India, June 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — QKS Group announced today that it has named Innovid by Mediaocean as a leader in the SPARK Matrix™: AdTech Platform, 2026. This comprehensive evaluation provides a detailed competitive analysis, market ranking, and strategic insights to help users evaluate global vendor capabilities and market positions.

This recognition also reflects Innovid’s continued investment in AI-powered execution and the value it is delivering to customers and the industry at large. Earlier this month, the company introduced NIVO, its AI core for agents and orchestration, helping marketers turn intelligence into action across the advertising lifecycle. Early adopters have already reported workflow efficiency gains of up to 90%. 

“Innovid by Mediaocean’s leadership position in the advertising technology market is supported by its breadth across creative management, ad serving, campaign execution, measurement, optimization, and workflow automation,” said Richa Choubey, Senior Analyst, QKS Group. “The platform is particularly strong in helping advertisers manage campaigns across connected TV, digital, social, and linear media while providing greater consistency in execution and measurement across channels. Through cross-channel delivery capabilities, independent measurement, AI-enabled optimization, and interoperability across the advertising ecosystem, Innovid by Mediaocean enables brands and agencies to improve operational efficiency, strengthen performance visibility, and better manage increasingly fragmented media environments. Its integrated approach supports organizations seeking greater control over campaign operations, measurement consistency, and linkage between advertising investments and business outcomes.”

Analyst Assessment: Aligning with Market Dynamics

Innovid operates at the intersection of several of the most significant trends shaping the advertising technology landscape, including the rise of CTV, the growing demand for independent measurement, increasing media fragmentation, and the application of AI to campaign execution and optimization. Rather than competing solely on individual point capabilities, the platform’s value proposition lies in its ability to connect creative management, ad serving, measurement, and optimization workflows across channels that have traditionally been managed in silos.

As advertisers navigate an increasingly complex ecosystem characterized by evolving privacy requirements, proliferating media environments, and heightened expectations for accountability, platforms that can provide consistency, interoperability, and operational efficiency become increasingly important. Innovid’s continued investments in cross-channel measurement, CTV innovation, and AI-enabled workflow automation reflect a clear understanding of these market dynamics. While the AdTech market remains highly competitive and rapidly evolving, Innovid has established itself as a significant independent player with a differentiated position in helping brands, agencies, and media organizations execute, measure, and optimize campaigns across fragmented digital and television environments. Its ability to balance scale, openness, and innovation positions it well as organizations seek greater transparency and control over advertising performance in an omnichannel world.

“Innovid demonstrates differentiated capabilities in creative management and optimization, leveraging AI and automation to improve campaign efficiency and effectiveness,” said Umang Thakur, Vice President and Principal Analyst, QKS Group. “Its support for omnichannel activation, unified measurement, and cross-platform creative governance makes it well suited for organizations seeking to centralize advertising operations and maximize the impact of creative assets at scale.”

Building on a Foundation of AI Innovation

In 2025, QKS Group named Innovid the ‘Most Valuable Pioneer‘ in its AI Maturity Matrix for AdTech, highlighting the company’s ability to embed intelligence across the campaign lifecycle. With the launch of NIVO AI, Innovid has evolved that embedded intelligence into live, scalable execution, addressing the multi-channel complexities and fragmentation challenges highlighted in the QKS report.

“What stands out in this report is the growing need for greater connectivity across the advertising ecosystem,” said Grant Parker, President, Innovid. “Marketers aren’t struggling with a lack of tools; they’re struggling with disconnected workflows, fragmented data, and operational complexity. With NIVO, we’re helping brands and agencies bring those workflows together, turning signals into coordinated action across creative, delivery, measurement, and optimization.”

Innoscience’s current products are not affected by both rulings of the Munich Regional Court

Published

on

By

MUNICH, June 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Innoscience today announced that the Munich Regional Court has just issued a pair of rulings, from which it could be confirmed that Innoscience’s currently marketed gallium nitride (“GaN”) power device products fall outside the scope of Infineon’s asserted German patents and may be commercialized in Germany without restriction.

These rulings are fully consistent with the final determination issued last month by the U.S. International Trade Commission (“ITC”), which found that Innoscience’s current products do not infringe Infineon’s asserted U.S. patent relating to packaging design (U.S. Patent No. 9,899,481). The Munich case concerns the German counterparts of that same patent family. In line with the ITC’s findings, the Munich Court found infringement only with respect to a limited set of legacy products—certain packaged 650–700V transistors—that had already been discontinued. Therefore, any injunction granted would not apply to Innoscience’s current product portfolio. As a result, there is no impact on Innoscience’s ongoing operations or its customers’ use of its products in Germany.

The decisions mark another significant milestone in Innoscience’s string of favorable outcomes across major jurisdictions. They follow the company’s recent success in China, where it secured an injunction and damages award against Infineon, as well as its decisive victory at the ITC in the United States last month. Together, these rulings reaffirm the legality of Innoscience’s current product portfolio and its ability to operate freely in key global markets.

While proceedings in Germany remain ongoing, including Innoscience’s invalidity challenges to the asserted German patent, the growing body of decisions across China, the United States, and Germany underscores that the global litigation campaign initiated by Infineon has not altered the competitive position of Innoscience’s core products. To the contrary, independent judicial findings across multiple jurisdictions have consistently validated the robustness of Innoscience’s technology and reinforced market confidence in the company’s product compliance and innovation capabilities.

Innoscience remains committed to advancing its technology leadership and expanding its global footprint, delivering cutting-edge GaN solutions to customers worldwide in a fair and competitive marketplace.
