Evaluating the Coronavirus Impact: Disruptions in Supply Chains and Stockpiling by Consumers Generate Allergen Free Food Shortages – Future Market Insights

Panic buying by consumers and a shortage of raw materials are key challenges that generate inventory issues during the COVID-19 outbreak. Manufacturers are ramping up production capacities to keep up with demand.

DUBAI, UAE / ACCESSWIRE / June 17, 2020 / Increasing levels of food insecurity, and higher costs of food ingredients during the COVID-19 pandemic is having a substantial impact on the global allergen free food market. To address these concerns, governments have increased the flexibility of their food and nutrition service programs, which is aimed particularly towards the low income group.

The worldwide allergen free food market is expected to cross a US$ 75.67 Bn valuation during the assessment period between 2020 and 2030. On the other hand, regional lockdowns, major disruptions of supply chains, and rampant stockpiling behavior by consumers are key factors that will impact market players in the months to come, as the world continues to struggle with the coronavirus crisis.

"Rising levels of health awareness among consumers and medical advances associated with human immune system is increasing the demand for allergen free foods. With the inaccurate perception of food safety, allergen free foods are witnessing unprecedented demand from consumers. This creates undue pressure on manufacturers and retailers in terms of inventories and supply chains. Demand is likely to stay strong even after the outbreak subsides," states the FMI analyst.

COVID-19 Impact on Allergen Free Food Market

With the coronavirus pandemic, consumers have focused their efforts towards stockpiling grocery staples in amounts that are substantially larger than the norm. With inadequate supplies of conventional foods and disruptions in supply chains, allergen free foods have also been impacted by the changes in consumer behavior.

Online distribution channels and delivery services have gained massive importance during the crisis. In addition, manufacturers have substantially increased their production capacities, and have ramped up delivery schedules with the help of government policies, which designate these businesses as essential. Demand for allergen free foods will dip gradually post the outbreak to reach pre-coronavirus levels in 2021.

Viewpoint Creative Launches New Image Campaign For CBS News

Video campaign focuses on shared COVID-19 experience

NEWTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / June 17, 2020 / Viewpoint Creative, a leading boutique production and branding agency, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dolphin Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ:DLPN), has completed a new image campaign for CBS News.

Sifting through hundreds of personal behind-the-scenes images submitted by the news staff, the team at Viewpoint Creative helped tell the story of CBS News reporters and anchors, from emergency rooms to living rooms, delivering critical information when people most needed clarity and understanding.

Dave McCoy, Sr. Vice President of CBS News Marketing, said "The final product was a spot that felt at once compelling and compassionate, while not just showing the people of CBS News were in this together with their viewers, it proved it."

To build on this sense of a shared journey, Viewpoint used a design motif based on angular facets that bring people and moments together. The technique focuses the viewer's eye and re-emphasizes the campaign's message of unity.

David Shilale, Viewpoint General Manager and Executive Producer, states "CBS News has been a great client of ours over the years. Every campaign involves a positive and productive exchange of ideas between our team and theirs, and the result is always the better for it."

CBS News' image campaign, by Viewpoint, can be accessed at the following link: https://vimeo.com/423651262

Tecogen Receives Tecochill Order for Massachusetts Cultivation Facility

WALTHAM, MA / ACCESSWIRE / June 17, 2020 / Tecogen Inc. (NASDAQ:TGEN), a clean energy company providing ultra-efficient and clean on-site power, heating and cooling equipment, is pleased to announce orders for two 400-ton Tecochill chillers for a cannabis cultivation facility in Massachusetts. The chillers will provide cooling for the facility using inexpensive natural gas, with the free waste heat utilized for dehumidification. A maintenance contract is expected to be executed once the units are installed later this year and will be serviced out of Tecogen's Waltham factory service center. The customer also plans to install additional Tecochill systems in the second phase of the facility.

The Tecochill units for this facility reduce its electric capacity requirements by approximately 600 kW, thereby reducing both operating costs and facility infrastructure requirements. The two 400-ton Tecochill chillers are also expected to reduce the facility's GHG footprint by more than 700 tons/year compared to electric cooling.

"Cultivation facility owners understand that reducing energy costs is essential for long term viability in a highly competitive market," noted Stephen Lafaille, Director of Business Development at Tecogen, "Although electric chillers promise low initial capital costs, operating costs for electric chillers can become problematic, particularly given the increasing competitive challenges for cannabis cultivation facilities."

Tecogen has provided Tecochill chillers for 14 Massachusetts cannabis cultivation facilities, providing significant cost savings and greenhouse gas benefits when compared to traditional electric chillers. All of the facilities received energy efficiency incentives from local utilities for achieving efficiency goals, thereby reducing the capital cost to install equipment providing efficient gas cooling.

"This is our 35th Tecochill sold in the North American indoor cannabis cultivation industry, with more projects in our backlog," added Benjamin Locke, Tecogen CEO. "The Tecochill solution provides compelling operational cost savings similar to a traditional cogeneration system, but at a much lower capital cost, and provides long-term operational cost savings as well as resiliency to grid interruptions."

About Tecogen
Tecogen Inc. designs, manufactures, sells, installs and maintains high efficiency, ultra-clean, cogeneration products including combined heat and power, air conditioning systems and high-efficiency water heaters for residential, commercial, recreational and industrial use. The company provides cost efficient, environmentally friendly and reliable products for energy production that, through patented technology, nearly eliminate criteria pollutants and significantly reduce a customer's carbon footprint.

In business for over 35 years, Tecogen has shipped more than 3,000 units, supported by an established network of engineering, sales and service personnel throughout North America. For more information, please visit www.tecogen.com or contact us for a free Site Assessment.

Greenpro Reports on Millennium Fine Art, Inc.

HONG KONG / ACCESSWIRE / June 17, 2020 / Greenpro Capital Corp. (NASDAQ:GRNQ) today updated its shareholders about its wholly owned subsidiary, Millennium Fine Art, Inc.

GRNQ's wholly owned Wyoming subsidiary, Millennium Fine Arts, Inc. ("MFAI"), completed its acquisition of 96% interest of the Millennium Sapphire for $96 million via the issuance of 19.2 million shares of MFAI valued at $5 per share on June 1, 2020.

The Millennium Sapphire was recognized as the largest carved sapphire in the world by Guinness World Records on August 20, 2001. Forbes Magazine featured it as its #3 ranked gemstone in its April 1, 2013 issue. It has been featured in countless magazine articles, major financial press such as Wall Street Journal and newspapers around the world.

MFAI President, Curtis Brooks said, "we are very pleased to have the Millennium Sapphire as the first of hopefully many significant world class art acquisitions. We plan to pursue an aggressive acquisition strategy of fine art masterpieces by world renowned painters starting from now and thru the IPO. We plan to develop the business both online featuring a membership driven augmented reality platform, including live auctions and exhibitions, and in museums once they are open to the public. My goal is to build the largest art business in the world."

On June 8,2020, the Company announced that it will distribute one million shares of common stock of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Millennium Fine Arts, Inc. ("MFAI") to GRNQ's shareholders of record on July 1, 2020.

The dividend will comprise approximately one (1) share of MFAI common stock for every 59 shares of GRNQ common stock issued and outstanding on the record date.

About the Millennium Sapphire

The Millennium Sapphire is widely considered an icon in world of art and gems. It is one of the most documented gemstones of modern times. Since its discovery in Madagascar in 1995, this remarkable blue gem has appeared on CNN, BBC, NBC, FOX and numerous other television networks around the world. It has been written about in virtually every major newspaper and has been the subject of articles published in dozens of magazines, such as Forbes and others.

Independent gemological laboratory reports on the Millennium Sapphire include The Gemological Institute of America (GIA), Gubelin Gemological Laboratory, Switzerland, and the Asian Institute of Gemological Sciences (AIGS), Thailand. Additionally, the Millennium Sapphire was recognized in 2001 in the Guinness Book of records as the largest carved sapphire in the world at 61,500 carats.

World renowned gemologists have commented extensively on the Millennium Sapphire. "This crystal is the largest single piece of gem quality sapphire that I know of. It is very rare to see such a large piece of such good color," said Marcus McCallum, FGA, London. Garry Du Toit, now with the GIA, Bangkok said, "It is definitely gem grade sapphire, a fine gem blue color. Other famous blue sapphires can not compare in terms of size, weight and quite possibly color". And finally, Christian Dunaigre, formerly with the Gubelin Gemological Laboratory, Switzerland said, "This sapphire is everyone's dream".

In their report of 13 November 2000, Gubelin staff members Christopher P. Smith and Nicole Surdez commented: The Millennium Sapphire was an "ornately carved gem" and a "striking art object".

The Millennium Sapphire was a multi-year design and carving project directed by Italian artist and designer Alessio Boschi. Boschi's designs have been widely published and his art displayed in internationally respected venues such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and he has won several international jewelry design competitions in Hong Kong, New York, Beijing, Madrid and London, including awards sponsored by Chopard and Charles Perroud S.A.

Boschi's inspiration for the Millennium Sapphire was to sculpt a tribute to the creative genius of humanity. Starting from a base of human figures supporting the four doors of air, water, earth and fire, the sapphire takes us on an upward winding spiral helix through history depicting over 134 figures representing the high points of man's achievements over the last 5000 years including the Pyramids of Giza, Confucius, Archimedes, the Great Wall of China, Julius Caesar, Mayan hieroglyphic writing, Leonardo da Vinci, Christopher Columbus, Michelangelo, Galileo, Newton, Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Benjamin Franklin, Pasteur, Monet, Edison, Einstein, Charlie Chaplin, Louis Armstrong, Gandhi, Neil Armstrong, Mother Teresa and a host of others.

The Sapphire Sea, by John Robinson, a fictional novel, published in November 2003 was inspired by the discovery of the then unnamed Millennium Sapphire.

About the Millennium Fine Art Business

MFAI plans to take the Millennium Sapphire on a world tour of museums as well as to develop an augmented reality platform including sales and live art auctions. Curtis Brooks, president of MFAI said, "We are negotiating to acquire an art gallery business and we intend to retain leading art and promotions experts globally to acquire some of the top art collections and masterpieces for exhibits, promotional events as well as viewing and sales via our online multi-dimensional auction platform."
