NEW YORK, July 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ —  Grapes for Humanity Global Foundation (GFH GLOBAL) is thrilled to announce that their fifth NYC “Legends” wine dinner will be chaired by Chef José Andrés at The Bazaar by José Andrés on October 16, 2024 at 6pm in support of Hôpital Albert Schweitzer (HAS) in Haiti.

“The most legendary men and women in wine are coming together to support the incredible work of HAS in Haiti! I have seen firsthand how critical they are in the community, going where no others go, to bring life saving care to those in urgent need,” shared José Andrés.

The dinner comes at a critical time for HAS’ work in Haiti. The hospital is supporting the country during a time of incredible turmoil as one of the few 24/7 hospitals able to remain open. HAS has served the people of Haiti for over 65 years.  The recent turmoil in Haiti has dramatically increased the need for HAS’ work.   “I am very proud of the generosity of our friends in the international wine community who have stepped forward, without hesitation, to support this dinner and the vital and urgent work of our long-time friends at HAS,” said Arlene Willis, GFH Founder and Chair.

Aptly named, the “Legends” dinner, the evening will bring together many of the world’s most celebrated wine producers.  In attendance will be the event’s honorary chairs: Piero Antinori (Marchesi Antinori), Xavier Barlier (Champagne Louis Roederer), David Pearson (Joseph Phelps Vineyards), along with several of GFH Global’s honorary directors: Prince Robert de Luxembourg, (Château Haut-Brion), Christopher Barefoot (Opus One), Stefano Benini Frescobaldi (Marchesi de’ Frescobaldi), Thibault Cagey (Maison Louis Jadot), Mireial Torres Maczassek  (Familia Torres), Pablo Alvarez (Bodegas Vega Sicilia), Frédéric Drouhin (Joseph Drouhin), Jean-Guillaume Prats (Clos du Marquis de Las Cases).

“GFH has been a special and valued partner for HAS, dating back to the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake,” said HAS CEO Jean Marc de Matteis. “Their exceptional generosity, made possible through wine producers and lovers around the globe, has meant everything, particularly for our maternal and child health programs that are so vitally needed.”

Guests will enjoy an eight-course menu designed by Chef José Andrés, and a rare lineup of rare wines donated by each of the producers in attendance.  There will also be an auction of donated wines that will excite all wine collectors since they are directly from the vineyards’ private collections.

GOFO Deploys Automated Narrow-Belt Sorter at Rome Hub, Lifting Southern Italy Capacity by 40%

Published

on

By

ROME, Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — GOFO, a fast-growing, technology-driven last-mile delivery provider, today announced that its Rome sorting center has officially entered full production with a new automated narrow-belt sorting system featuring integrated singulation technology. The system began trial operation in May 2026 and, following more than three months of stable performance, is now fully operational, lifting the hub’s overall efficiency by 40%.

The linear narrow-belt sorter’s integrated singulation technology automatically separates overlapping parcels before they enter the sort loop. Because the system relies on proven mechanical separation rather than AI-based vision recognition, it is designed to deliver consistent throughput day after day, with reliability confirmed during the trial period and now carried into full production ahead of the autumn peak season.

The system has a design capacity of 6,500 parcels per hour and 120 sorting chutes, providing routing coverage across southern Italy, including Bari, Catanzaro, Naples and surrounding areas. It integrates dimensioning and weighing in a single pass, with volume accuracy of ±10 mm and weighing accuracy of ±20 g. Around 80% of the sorting process is now automated, with manual handling limited to loading and exception processing.

“The Rome hub is our primary gateway to southern Italy, and this upgrade ensures we can meet the growing demand from our e-commerce partners without compromising on speed or accuracy,” said Jacqueline Chan, General Manager of GOFO Italy. “As we head into peak season, this investment gives us the reliability and sufficient processing capacity our customers need across the south.”

About GOFO

GOFO, founded in the United States in 2023, is a technology-driven last-mile logistics network serving merchants and consumers across the U.S., Canada, France, the Netherlands, Italy and Spain. Guided by the brand philosophy “Drive Efficiency, Deliver Trust,” GOFO combines advanced technology with localized operations to deliver precise, reliable, and scalable delivery solutions.
