AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Flex (Nasdaq: FLEX) today unveiled Axiom Solutions International, Inc. (Axiom) as the name of its planned independent Cloud and Power Infrastructure company and filed its preliminary Form 10 registration statement (Form 10) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), marking a key milestone in the planned spin-off from Flex (Spin-Off). Following completion of the planned Spin-Off, Axiom is expected to trade on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “AXM.”

The Form 10 provides additional information about Axiom, including its business, strategy, financial profile, leadership team and the anticipated terms of the separation.

“Axiom is built to lead the next generation of critical digital and electrical infrastructure,” said Revathi Advaithi, Flex Chief Executive Officer and expected Chief Executive Officer of Axiom. “By bringing together power, thermal management and compute at the system level, we help customers deploy increasingly complex infrastructure with greater speed and scale, as AI drives new demands on the physical infrastructure behind it.”

The name Axiom reflects a foundational principle: bringing together power, cooling and compute at the system level to support the reliable, scalable infrastructure needed for the future.

The planned separation is expected to be completed in the first quarter of calendar 2027, subject to customary conditions, including, among other things, final approval by the Flex Board of Directors, the effectiveness of the Form 10 and Flex shareholder and Singapore High Court approval.

Upon completion, Flex and Axiom are expected to operate as independent publicly traded companies. Additional details on each company’s strategy will be shared at Innovation Day on November 10, 2026, in Austin, Texas.

FlexXray Releases Third Annual Benchmark Report on Foreign Material Contamination in Food Manufacturing

Published

on

By

ARLINGTON, Texas, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — FlexXray, the leader in foreign material inspection services for the food industry, today announced the release of the 2026 Foreign Material Contamination in Food Benchmark Report. Now in its third year, the report is based on survey responses from more than 170 food safety and manufacturing professionals across North America, offering an ongoing, data-driven look into how the industry identifies, manages, and protects against foreign material contamination in their products.

This year’s findings point to a widening gap between what food manufacturers are most likely to encounter and what their detection equipment is built to catch. Key findings include:

A shift in the contamination profile — Plastic has overtaken metal as the most frequently reported contaminant, cited by 37% of respondentsInternal response remains the default — 63% of producers still rely on in-house resources to manage a foreign material eventInvestment cooling, not closing the gap — The share of producers planning to increase detection investment fell from roughly 70% in 2025 to 57% in 2026, while confidence that in-line equipment catches all foreign material has remained flat

“For three years now, this report has given food safety and manufacturing leaders real industry data to benchmark their own programs against,” said Kurt Westmoreland, Chief Commercial Officer. “This year’s findings cover how often facilities are dealing with foreign material events, how confident they are in their detection equipment, how they’re investing, and how they respond when an event happens — giving teams a clear picture of where they stand relative to the rest of the industry.”

The full Foreign Material Contamination in Food Benchmark Report is available at https://flexxray.com/lp/2026-foreign-material-contamination-in-food-benchmark-report/.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Resideo Technologies (NYSE: REZI), a leading global provider of solutions for home comfort, safety and security, today announced a new lineup of First Alert® smoke, carbon monoxide (CO) and combo alarms. From America’s No. 1 most trusted and reliable* fire safety brand, the new alarms simplify home safety with easy installation, hassle-free battery replacement and the introduction of SoftCue™ Replacement Reminders, gentle maintenance reminders designed to help reduce late-night “chirps” commonly associated with residential smoke alarms.

Experience the full interactive Multichannel News Release here: https://www.multivu.com/resideo/9300653-en-first-alert-new-lineup-of-smoke-and-carbon-monoxide-combo-alarms

“Resideo’s new First Alert smoke alarms redefine how to address everyday maintenance needs, which can help ensure our critical life-safety alarms remain powered, active and ready to alert families to smoke and CO threats,” said Ryan Park, Senior Product Director of Safety and Security at Resideo. “Too often, routine maintenance frustrations can lead homeowners to ignore or disable their alarms, and our simple but meaningful changes make home safety easier to manage while helping families maintain protection.”

The redesigned First Alert alarms comply with the Underwriter Laboratories’ latest industry standards and offer features designed to simplify ongoing maintenance and operation, including:

SoftCue Replacement Reminders. Gentle reminders pre-warn three to five days before the alarm needs attention with a soft sound and clear LED indicator, providing homeowners early notice when a battery is low or an alarm is nearing the end of its life.Easy-read indicators. Dedicated LED lights provide clear visual notifications that help homeowners quickly identify power status, a low battery, when the device needs to be replaced and whether a smoke or CO alarm has been triggered.Simple installation. A standardized ceiling bracket simplifies installation and future replacements, while an optional Easy-Fit Mounting Plate helps avoid repainting ceiling marks.Large, easy-access test/silence button. A centrally located Test/Silence button, nearly three times larger than previous models, provides convenient access for routine testing and temporary alarm silencing.Side-load battery drawer. Designed for easier maintenance, battery-powered and hardwired with battery backup models allow homeowners to replace AA batteries from the side of the alarm.

Advanced and Connected Detection
The new smoke, CO and combo alarms combine advanced detection technology with compatibility across the First Alert portfolio to help create a more connected home safety system. Every alarm features Precision Detection™ advanced sensing technology, designed to provide earlier warning of fires in modern homes, where contemporary building materials and furnishings can burn hotter and spread faster. It helps reduce nuisance alarms from cooking smoke and steam, delivering more reliable detection and greater confidence in everyday use.

Compatible hardwired models are designed for backward compatibility and interconnection with select legacy First Alert installations, enabling easier installation and replacement without additional adapters. The new lineup includes hardwired, battery-powered and 10-year sealed battery smoke, CO and combo alarm models starting at $29.99 (U.S. MSRP). Find a U.S. or Canadian retailer at FirstAlert.com.

Fire Safety Events and Education
Arriving just ahead of Fire Prevention Week, the new First Alert alarms are available now exclusively in the U.S. at Lowe’s stores. Lowe’s stores nationwide will host fire safety events on Saturday, Oct. 17, to educate families about the importance of whole-home safety and celebrate first responders. From 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. local time, stores will welcome local first responders and emergency vehicles, giving families the opportunity to meet local heroes, explore fire trucks and equipment and learn how they help keep communities safe.

As part of the Oct. 17 events, kids can also build their own firefighting plane during a special Lowe’s Kids Workshop at Lowe’s stores across the country, combining hands-on fun with safety education and community connection. Learn more at Lowes.com/KidsClub.

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside sleeping areas and on every level of the home, including the basement. Families are encouraged to take simple steps to strengthen home safety, from maintaining working smoke and CO alarms and keeping fire extinguishers on hand to creating and practicing a family exit plan.
