SEOUL, South Korea, May 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Global leading tire company Hankook Tire & Technology (Hankook Tire) has signed a title sponsorship agreement with Saudi Arabian professional football club Al-Ittihad. Under the agreement, Hankook will serve as the club’s official title sponsor for three seasons, beginning with the 2024/2025 season.

Founded in 1927, Al-Ittihad is one of Saudi Arabia’s most prestigious football clubs. The team recently secured its 10th Saudi Pro League title with two matches remaining in the 2024/2025 season. Al-Ittihad has also demonstrated its strong presence on the international stage by claiming back-to-back AFC Champions League titles.

Through this sponsorship, Hankook Tire aims to strengthen its global sports marketing efforts by establishing a strategic alliance with Al-Ittihad. By leveraging the club’s high profile—bolstered by world-renowned players such as Karim Benzema and Moussa Diaby—the company seeks to further elevate its position as a top-tier premium brand in the global market.

During the sponsorship period, the global Hankook brand logo will be prominently featured on in-stadium LED signage, media interview backdrops, and the club’s official team apparel. Hankook Tire also plans to run engagement-driven marketing campaigns—such as integrated online and offline ticket giveaway events—to boost brand awareness and drive sales in the Middle Eastern market, including Saudi Arabia.

Building on its momentum in the Middle East, Hankook Tire continues to expand its presence as a global premium brand, especially in emerging markets such as Saudi Arabia. In August 2023, the company partnered with its official Saudi distributor, Bin Shihon Group, to launch its iON product line—the world’s first full line of tires dedicated to electric vehicles. Following the debut of its high-performance models iON evo and iON evo SUV, Hankook has gained strong market recognition for its technological innovation and is rapidly strengthening its position in the region’s EV tire market.

Hankook Tire continues to enhance its global brand presence and reinforce its premium brand image among sports fans through a wide range of high-profile sponsorships. The company is an official partner of prestigious international football properties, including the UEFA Europa League, UEFA Europa Conference League, German football club Borussia Dortmund, and the prestigious Ballon d’Or™ awards.

Published

By

ANAHEIM, Calif., June 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — RefrigiWear®, the leading manufacturer of insulated PPE and workwear for the global cold chain, announced the new ThermaSync™ Jacket and ThermaSync™ Glove, an integrated heated workwear system designed to keep workers warm, productive and protected even in temperatures down to -15°F.

ThermaSync™ combines heating technology with a completely unique connection to deliver warmth from core to fingertips.

The new products will debut at the ASSP Safety26 Conference & Expo, June 15–17, in Anaheim, California.

Connected Warmth from Core to Fingertips

ThermaSync™ combines battery-powered heating technology with industrial-grade durability and a completely unique connection between the products to deliver synchronized warmth from core to fingertips.

“Cold environments create real challenges for workers, affecting comfort, dexterity, productivity and job performance. Worn together, ThermaSync™ products create a connected system that maintains consistent warmth across the body and hands,” says RefrigiWear CEO Ryan Silberman.

The result is an innovative solution for insulated PPE that helps workers stay safe, comfortable and focused on the job.

ThermaSync™ Jacket

Even before powering up, the ThermaSync™ Jacket is insulated for protection in temperatures down to -15°F. Heating elements across the chest and back, plus high- and low-heat settings, let workers adjust warmth as activity levels or conditions change.

The jacket features durable abrasion-resistant, water-resistant materials, multiple pockets and an adjustable hem to block cold drafts, along with one rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack that provides up to 8 hours of heat per charge.

ThermaSync™ Glove

Also insulated for -15°F temperatures, the ThermaSync™ Glove uses magnetic connectors to draw power from the ThermaSync™ Jacket, delivering extra warmth across the back of the hand and fingers. This unique connector amplifies cold protection to your hands because if your hands are cold, it is hard to focus on anything else.

A waterproof design and grip-enhancing synthetic leather palm support secure material handling. Touchscreen-capable thumb, index and middle fingers let workers use screens without exposing hands to cold temperatures.

Experience ThermaSync™ at Safety26

ASSP Safety26 attendees are invited to visit RefrigiWear Booth #4415 for demonstrations of the ThermaSync™ Jacket and ThermaSync™ Glove.

GateKeeper to Showcase Proximity-Based Identity Access for Shared Workstations at Identiverse 2026

Published

on

By

GateKeeper will showcase its proximity-based passwordless MFA and identity access platform at Identiverse 2026 at Booth #113, highlighting how it helps mission-critical industries secure shared workstations without slowing down frontline workflows. The press release positions GateKeeper as a solution for improving identity assurance, user accountability, audit visibility, and frictionless access across manufacturing, healthcare, law enforcement, and other high-security environments.

LAS VEGAS, June 15, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Untethered Labs, Inc., creator of GateKeeper Proximity, today announces that it will showcase GateKeeper Proximity and GateKeeper IDP at Identiverse 2026, taking place June 15–17 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. Attendees can visit GateKeeper at Booth #113 for live demonstrations focused on passwordless workstation access, shared workstation accountability, and stronger identity assurance for mission-critical environments.

” At Identiverse, we are showing how GateKeeper extends passwordless MFA and identity assurance to the frontline environments where speed, accountability, and security all have to work together.” Siddharth Pothbare.

GateKeeper is addressing a persistent identity challenge for organizations where shared workstations, fast user switching, operational uptime, and auditability all matter. While many organizations have invested in cloud SSO, MFA, and identity governance, shared endpoint environments remain difficult to secure without adding friction to daily workflows.

Manufacturing floors, healthcare clinics, law enforcement facilities, and other high-throughput operations often require multiple users to access the same endpoint throughout the day. In these environments, long passwords, shared credentials, frequent password resets, and incomplete user traceability can create both security risk and productivity drag. GateKeeper helps organizations reduce reliance on passwords while tying workstation access events back to the individual user.

GateKeeper combines proximity-based authentication with centralized access management and identity provider capabilities. Users can authenticate with a GateKeeper token, supported NFC/RFID badge, or mobile credential, helping organizations enforce consistent MFA while maintaining a fast and familiar user experience. The result is stronger identity assurance from the workstation to applications, without forcing frontline teams into slower or more disruptive login processes.

“Identity programs have made major progress in the cloud, but shared workstations remain one of the hardest environments to secure without disrupting operations,” said Siddharth Pothbare, CEO at Untethered Labs. “At Identiverse, we are showing how GateKeeper extends passwordless MFA and identity assurance to the frontline environments where speed, accountability, and security all have to work together.”

At Booth #113, GateKeeper will demonstrate how organizations can:

Replace shared passwords with token, badge, or mobile-based passwordless authentication.Tie workstation access events to individual users, even in shared workstation environments.Enforce phone-free MFA consistently across mission-critical endpoints and applications.Improve workflow speed for operators, clinicians, officers, and frontline staff.Generate clean audit logs that support compliance, investigations, and access reviews.Extend identity assurance from workstation login to downstream application access through GateKeeper IDP capabilities.

GateKeeper’s approach has already helped mission-critical organizations reduce login friction while improving security and accountability. In one customer deployment, Major Tool & Machine reported significant time savings compared to conventional authentication methods.

“While conventional two-factor authentication methods could have cost the company over 240 hours of login time for 14,000 logins in one month, GateKeeper took only 20 hours of time to log in. GateKeeper made the computers secure, and cost 90% less in time as compared to any other authentication method.” — Tom Riddle, Network Administrator, Major Tool & Machine
