User Evaluation Conducted at Two Supermarkets in Shinjuku Following Design Upgrade

TOKYO, Sept. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — WACO Corp., a specialized manufacturer of water purifiers and water treatment systems, announced the successful completion of a Proof of Concept (PoC) in Tokyo, Japan, for its redesigned smart public water refill station, ATLAS.

The company has completely transformed the exterior of ATLAS, introducing a futuristic design tailored to harmonize with public spaces. The redesigned exterior enhances the product’s visual quality while conveying the reliability and stability expected of equipment installed in public spaces. The redesign shifts ATLAS from a purely functional water dispenser toward a user-centered smart public water solution.

The newly designed ATLAS units were installed at two supermarkets in Shinjuku, Tokyo, in November 2025 for the PoC. Rather than a simple exhibition, the stations were deployed in actual commercial facilities, allowing local consumers to interact with the product directly and provide feedback based on real-world usage.

Through on-site interviews and surveys, ATLAS received exceptional ratings across key metrics, including product design, water taste, temperature, and reliability of purification performance. The high level of consumer trust in its purification capabilities, combined with positive feedback on the actual drinking experience, confirmed the strong market applicability of ATLAS as a public water system.

ATLAS Core Features:

Advanced Purification: Delivers safe drinking water at various temperatures, including ambient and cold, utilizing a multi-stage purification system.Hygiene Management: Equipped with UV LED technology for comprehensive hygiene control, along with dedicated tumbler washing and sterilization functions.Eco-Friendly Refilling: Enables seamless water refilling using personal tumblers and reusable containers.Smart Management: Supports IoT-based product status monitoring, digital signage for information delivery, and smart maintenance features optimized for public facility operators.

Moving beyond the traditional role of a simple water fountain, ATLAS is positioned as a next-generation public water solution that integrates purification, hygiene, eco-friendly refilling, and smart management into a single, cohesive system.

Building on more than 20 years of manufacturing expertise in the water purification industry, WACO exports its internationally certified products to over 70 countries. Building on its robust technological capabilities in residential and commercial water purifiers, the company is actively expanding its business portfolio into public drinking water and smart water infrastructure.

Encouraged by the positive consumer response from the Japanese PoC, WACO plans to accelerate the commercialization of ATLAS in the Japanese market. Building on the results of the Tokyo PoC, WACO plans to accelerate the commercialization of ATLAS in Japan while pursuing broader opportunities for deployment in global markets.

CFD Broker Mitrade EU Introduces Excess-of-Loss Insurance Protection for Its Clients

Published

on

By

LIMASSOL, Cyprus, Sept. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — CFD broker Mitrade has arranged additional insolvency insurance for eligible clients onboarded under its CySEC licence. The initiative reflects a broader focus on strengthening client confidence and investor protection.

This excess-of-loss policy supplements protections CySEC already mandates. CySEC-authorised investment firms are required to segregate client funds and contribute to the Investor Compensation Fund. Beyond those statutory safeguards, Mitrade EU Limited’s discretionary insurance coverage has been arranged through Lloyd’s of London and funded by Mitrade. It is automatically available to eligible clients without an opt-in requirement or additional client charge.

Should Mitrade EU Limited become insolvent, the policy may cover eligible claims, subject to its terms, conditions and exclusions, up to a maximum aggregate amount of €1 million across all claims combined. It does not cover trading losses or losses caused by market movements.

“Regulation sets the baseline; we decide how much further to go for clients,” said Timur Konsky, CEO of Mitrade EU. “That is why we put additional insurance in place with Lloyd’s of London. Our approach is to identify where clients can be protected and take steps to reduce those risks. Transparency and safety should not be marketing language; they should be demonstrated through the safeguards a broker chooses to put in place. We want our clients to judge us by our actions, and this policy is another concrete example of that commitment.”

Mitrade EU’s excess-of-loss insurance cover takes effect from 1 September 2026.
