The camper-voted awards provided a fitting conclusion to a milestone season celebrated under the theme "Sixty Years of SMILES." More than 3,200 people participated and over 10,000 votes were cast in this year's awards, recognizing outstanding campgrounds and outdoor hospitality experiences across New York State.

Reservations are now being accepted for the park's 2027 camping season, beginning another chapter in a family tradition dating to 1966.

Six Decades of Innovation and Family Hospitality

Founded by Victor and Jessica King in 1966, Lake George RV Park was among the pioneers of what has become the modern camping resort experience.

At a time when many campgrounds offered little more than a place to park a travel trailer or motorhome, the Kings envisioned something different: a destination combining the freedom and natural beauty of camping with exceptional hospitality, recreation and resort-quality amenities.

Over the following six decades, recreational vehicles became larger and more sophisticated, technology transformed the travel experience, and outdoor hospitality developed into a major segment of American tourism. Lake George RV Park evolved along with it, continually investing in its facilities, amenities and guest experience while remaining under the leadership of the King family.

For 60 years, three generations of the King family have welcomed guests from across North America, helping create millions of unforgettable vacation memories. Many longtime guests who first visited Lake George RV Park as children now return with children and grandchildren of their own.

"Reaching our 60th anniversary has given us an opportunity to reflect on just how much has changed since my parents opened the park in 1966—and also on the things that haven't changed," said David King, President and CEO of Lake George RV Park. "RVs are different, technology is different and our park has grown tremendously, but families still come here for many of the same reasons they did 60 years ago: to spend time together, enjoy the outdoors and create memories."

Award-Winning Amenities and Pet-Friendly Hospitality

Today, the 130-acre resort features 370 full-hookup RV sites accommodating RVs of all sizes, including the largest luxury motorcoaches and Big Rigs, along with 26 luxury cabins and four fully equipped rental trailers.

The Lake George RV Park experience extends well beyond accommodations. Resort amenities include heated indoor and outdoor swimming pools, Cascade Cove aquatic playground, a 38-person hot tub, two indoor movie theaters, live family entertainment, complimentary paddle boats, lighted pickleball and tennis courts, extensive recreational facilities and on-site trolley transportation.

The Best Campground Amenities award recognizes the resort's extensive collection of recreational facilities and services, developed through decades of continuous reinvestment.

The Best Pet-Friendly Campground award highlights another important part of the guest experience. Among the park's signature facilities is Charlie's Bark Park, a two-acre off-leash recreation area featuring separate areas for large and small dogs, walking trails, agility equipment, a spray fountain and dog wash facilities.

"These awards are particularly meaningful because they come from the campers themselves," King said. "Our family and staff have always believed that providing an exceptional camping experience means continually listening to our guests, reinvesting in the park and finding new ways to make their vacations more enjoyable. Receiving these honors during our 60th anniversary year makes them especially gratifying."

The new statewide recognition adds to Lake George RV Park's longstanding reputation as one of the nation's premier camping resorts, including recognition among RV LIFE's 2026 Best of the Best.

From "Sixty Years of SMILES" to Season 61

While the 2026 season provided an opportunity to celebrate the park's history and honor the generations who helped shape it, the King family is already focused on the future.

Reservations are now being accepted for Lake George RV Park's 2027 camping season, continuing a tradition in which families plan their Lake George vacations months in advance and return year after year.

"Sixty years is certainly a milestone worth celebrating, but we have never been a business that spends much time looking backward," King said. "My parents were always thinking about what could be improved or what we could offer our guests next. As we prepare for season 61, that same philosophy continues to guide us."

For King, one of the most rewarding aspects of the anniversary has been seeing generations of guests return to the park.

"We've watched children become parents, parents become grandparents, and now grandparents introduce another generation to Lake George RV Park," King said. "That's really what 'Sixty Years of SMILES' has represented. We're tremendously grateful to the guests and employees who have been part of our first 60 years, and we're excited to see what the next chapter brings."

With its 60th anniversary season now complete, Lake George RV Park looks forward to welcoming returning and first-time guests in 2027.

Reservations for the 2027 season are now open. For additional information or reservations, visit LakeGeorgeRVPark.com or call (518) 792-3775.

- The publicly traded company expects to generate EBITDA of $252 million and net income of $162 million and plans to begin paying dividends in 2027, allocating 25% of its profits to dividend payments.

- Larimar City & Resort, the Group's main growth driver, has reached $400 million in sales and is consolidating the Group's transformation toward an integrated real estate business model.

PUNTA CANA, Dominican Republic, Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- CLERHP, a Spanish group specializing in engineering, architecture, construction, and real estate development and listed on BME Growth, has announced its 2026–28 Business Plan, which projects revenue of $784 million, EBITDA of $252 million, and net income of $162 million over the three-year period.

Approved by the Board of Directors on September 30, the Plan marks a new phase for CLERHP, which has evolved from an engineering-focused company into a vertically integrated group spanning the entire real estate value chain.

This transformation establishes the Dominican Republic as the company's primary strategic market and Larimar City & Resort as the cornerstone of its business development.

Larimar City Reaches $400 Million in Sales

The real estate development led by CLERHP in Punta Cana has reached $400 million in sales. This figure represents approximately 50% of projected revenue for 2026–28 and reflects the commercial progress of a project conceived as a destination city integrating housing, infrastructure, commercial spaces, leisure, and services.

The company has also announced that it has secured $56 million in financing for the project, comprising $22 million in bonds and $33 million in private debt, and reports a cash position of $13 million.

Five Strategic Areas to Drive Growth

The Business Plan outlines five major lines of business: engineering, structural construction, project management, real estate development, and integrated services. CLERHP aims to strengthen its technical capabilities, expand its services—including integrated project management—to third parties, and develop new real estate opportunities through partnerships and joint ventures.

The gradual introduction of services related to the operation of Larimar City—such as maintenance, supplies, equipment, and rental management—will allow the company to expand its activities beyond construction and move toward a diversified business model. This strategy also includes the development of other in-house and third-party projects, such as Marelago, leveraging the experience and capabilities acquired by the Group.

Value Creation and International Expansion

The Plan projects EBITDA of $252 million, of which $224 million would come from real estate development activities. It also provides for the introduction of a dividend policy in 2027, allocating 25% of profits to shareholder distributions—a policy that would be maintained in subsequent fiscal years. At the same time, CLERHP will continue to strengthen its presence in the capital markets.

Following its progress with Latinex in Panama, the company's future objectives include gaining access to BME's main market. Five years after entering the Dominican Republic, the Group is entering a decisive phase to consolidate its transformation, expand its capabilities, and develop new sources of revenue.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Affordable housing industry leaders will gather in Las Vegas to reflect on the developments that shaped 2026 and prepare for the opportunities and challenges ahead in 2027 at the Novogradac 2026 Housing Tax Credit Finance Conference, Dec. 3-4 at the Four Seasons Las Vegas.

Whether you develop, finance, invest in or manage affordable housing, the conference will offer practical insights into today's market conditions and how to prepare for what lies ahead.

"As we round out another eventful year for the affordable housing sector, this conference represents an important opportunity to connect with peers and look back on 2026," said Jeff Nishita, a partner in Novogradac's San Francisco office and chair of the conference. "What were the most important federal policy updates in 2026? What will states be on the lookout for when allocating low-income housing tax credits (LIHTCs) next year? What will lending markets look like? These are the questions that will shape affordable housing finance and development in 2027 and beyond."

The Novogradac 2026 Housing Tax Credit Finance Conference is co-hosted by Hunt Companies. CSG Advisors, Enterprise Community Partners/BWE, Polsinelli, PNC Bank and R4 Capital are sponsoring the conference.

ArbNet—the only global accreditation program specific to tree-focused botanical gardens—welcomed its first accredited arboretum from Poland

LISLE, Ill., Oct. 14, 2026/PRNewswire/ -- Now in its 15th year, The Morton Arboretum's ArbNet program celebrated its 1,000th accredited arboretum this week with the addition of Kórnik Arboretum in Kórnik, Poland. As the only international accreditation program in the world specific to arboreta, or outdoor living museums of trees that serve the public, ArbNet doubled its network in the last five years alone.

ArbNet recognized Kórnik Arboretum's achievement of level IV accreditation standards—the highest granted—at the Oct. 12 "Trees and Forests in a Changing Environment" conference hosted in Poland by the Institute of Dendrology of the Polish Academy of Sciences, which oversees the arboretum. The announcement marks the first accreditation of an arboretum in Poland and comes on the heels of Kórnik Arboretum's 200th anniversary.

"It is rewarding to reflect on how ArbNet has grown to be a community of 1,000 diverse and impactful arboreta across the globe over the last 15 years," said ArbNet Manager Andrea Brennan, Ph.D. "We are thrilled that Kórnik Arboretum is helping ArbNet mark this occasion by becoming not only our 1,000th accredited arboretum, but the first ArbNet-accredited arboretum in Poland, all while celebrating its own 200th anniversary this year."

Kórnik Arboretum holds the oldest collection of woody plants with documented origins in Poland, with some specimens among the oldest representatives of their species in greater Central and Eastern Europe. It is also home to Poland's largest collection of lilacs, with more than 250 different types comprising a national collection.

Given the number of research plots now more than 50 years old in its Zwierzyniec Experimental Forest, Kórnik Arboretum contributes high scientific value through its long-term observation of native and introduced plants. It provides a unique living resource for scientific exploration, conservation and environmental education.

"We are deeply proud and genuinely moved that Kórnik Arboretum has become the first ArbNet-accredited arboretum in Poland and, at the same time, the 1,000th member of this global community," said Professor Andrzej M. Jagodziński, director of the Institute of Dendrology of the Polish Academy of Sciences. "For the Institute of Dendrology, this recognition has exceptional meaning. For 200 years, generations of people have created, developed and cared for these collections with the belief that an arboretum should be much more than a collection of remarkable trees—it should be a living place for science, conservation, education and the exchange of knowledge. Today, by joining ArbNet at its highest level of accreditation, we are giving that vision a new, international dimension. I see this achievement also as a tribute to all those who built the Kórnik collections before us. In many ways, it is the fulfillment of their idea: that the trees planted and studied here would serve not only one institution or one generation, but science, nature and society far into the future."

Poland is now one of 44 countries with at least one formally established arboretum through the ArbNet Arboretum Accreditation Program, joining the recently accredited Cayo Levantado Arboretum in Samaná Bay, Dominican Republic, among others accredited this year in newly welcomed countries Bermuda, Denmark, Ecuador, Indonesia and Madagascar.

Administered by The Morton Arboretum, near Chicago, Ill., USA, ArbNet honors accreditations earned by institutions beyond arboreta and botanical gardens, like parks, historical sites, college campuses and nature preserves that commit to tending to their tree collections. Through its newly accredited Perkins Arboretum in Watertown, Mass., USA, Perkins School for the Blind intentionally curated a selection of trees with varying bark textures, leaf shapes, sounds and smells to allow its students to connect their classwork with the outdoors and nature.

Locally in Chicago, ArbNet is gaining rapid momentum, recently forging a partnership with the Chicago Park District that resulted in the accreditation of The Bloomingdale Trail, a nearly 3-mile path turned arboretum; Palmer Square Park Arboretum, which had just 27 individual trees in the 1980s and now has 28 different species of trees thanks to community-led efforts; Richard Clark Park, a 22-acre stretch of greenspace once the site of an amusement park along the bank of the Chicago River; and Wicker Park Gardens and Arboretum, maintained by the neighborhood's volunteer garden club.

ArbNet's collaborative model helped inform the foundation for The Morton Arboretum's "Green City Rising" co-winning submission in World Business Chicago's urban design vision competition, "Horizon Lines: Visions for Chicago 250." Green City Rising reimagines Chicago as a connected network of arboreta in which people and trees thrive together.

At the global scale, ArbNet facilitates cooperation through initiatives like the Botanic Gardens Conservation International / ArbNet Partnership Programme, a funding opportunity to support collaborations between botanic gardens and arboreta for the purpose of exchanging skills, resources and expertise to advance tree conservation efforts. Through ArbNet's Research Partner Directory launched this year, accredited arboreta of all types and capacities around the world can also express interest in hosting or joining scientific and conservation projects at various scales.

ArbNet prioritizes community and offers a free resource library providing practical guidance and real-world examples to help strengthen arboreta and support global efforts to plant, study, celebrate and conserve trees.

About ArbNet

The Morton Arboretum is an internationally recognized tree-focused botanical garden and research center located in Lisle, IL, USA. ArbNet, a flagship program of The Morton Arboretum, unites arboreta, botanic gardens with woody plant collections, and tree advocates around the world in a collaborative community dedicated to advancing the planting, study, and conservation of trees. Through its programs, shared resources, opportunities, and professional connections, ArbNet empowers institutions of all sizes to strengthen their collections, expand their impact, and contribute to global tree research and conservation efforts.

Campaign gives families free tools to appeal denials now, as an Association review finds nearly all of 19 commercial insurers add hurdles the FDA never required for the first gene-targeted ALS treatment

ARLINGTON, Va., Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The ALS Association today launched We Are Undeniable, a national campaign to help people living with ALS fight insurance denials of the medications, equipment and care their doctors prescribe, and to push for lasting changes that stop those denials from happening. At the center of the campaign is the Undeniable Kit, a free, guided appeal letter builder modeled on appeals the ALS Association's pro bono legal team has won, available now at ALS.org/Undeniable.

"Insurance companies are weaponizing time against people living with ALS," said Calaneet Balas, president and CEO of The ALS Association. "When someone is facing a fatal illness, a delay is a denial. Every week spent fighting an insurer is time families will never get back. We Are Undeniable gives people living with ALS the tools to fight back today, and our goal is simple: when a doctor prescribes a treatment, people with ALS should get it."

Kayla Gonzalez, a young mother of two in Utah, lives with SOD1-ALS, a rare genetic form of the disease. Her doctor prescribed Qalsody®, the first FDA-approved treatment for her form of ALS, and it was helping her. But when her husband Treven's employer changed health insurance providers, the new insurer denied her treatment in a single sentence: "not medically necessary." Treven contacted the ALS Association, whose advocacy team worked with a pro bono attorney to build Kayla's appeal. The denial was overturned, but not before the family lost time they could not afford to lose.

"When Kayla's treatment was denied, I felt lost and overwhelmed," said Treven Gonzalez. "The ALS Association was our lifeline during the appeals process. They stepped in, connected us with the right people, and never stopped fighting for us. Their support helped restore access to a treatment that means hope for Kayla and our entire family."

Kayla's experience is far from unique. In The ALS Association's ALS Focus survey on insurance and payment for ALS care, about one in three respondents had a claim or prior authorization denied, most often for medications, power wheelchairs and other equipment, or in-home care. Appeals took up to three rounds and up to six months, and about a third of requests were still denied or only partly approved, leaving people to pay out of pocket or go without. For a disease with an average life expectancy of two to five years after diagnosis, those are months no one can get back.

One family is a story. Nineteen insurers is a pattern.

The ALS Association reviewed the published coverage policies of 19 commercial insurers for Qalsody. Nearly everyone imposes clinical requirements the FDA never did, and about a third refuse to cover it at all, labeling an FDA-approved drug "investigational." The treatment does not cure ALS, but starting early can slow it, which makes every month lost to an appeal a month of function that may not come back.

"People living with ALS should not have to fight for care their physicians have already prescribed," said Melanie Lendnal, chief advocate of The ALS Association. "If a doctor prescribes it, you should get it, no excuses. We have won these fights one family at a time, and we will keep winning them. But no family should have to fight the same fight over and over again, which is why we are taking on the system itself."

Help for families facing a denial now

Through We Are Undeniable, people living with ALS and their caregivers can access:

- The Undeniable Kit, a free, guided appeal letter builder that walks families step by step through the information an appeal requires.

- Guidance on the appeals process, so families know what to expect and what is required at each stage.

- Pro bono legal help through The ALS Association's network of attorneys for complex appeals.

- A way to share their denial, helping the Association document the scope of the problem.

Building toward systemic change

Beyond individual appeals, We Are Undeniable is built around a simple principle: Approved Means Approved. When the FDA has approved a treatment and an ALS specialist has prescribed it, an insurer should not be able to deny it. The ALS Association will use the denials families share, along with its own research, to make the case for safeguards that protect timely access to prescribed ALS care.

People living with ALS, caregivers, and health care professionals can learn more, access appeal resources, and use the Undeniable Tool at ALS.org/Undeniable.

Interviews are available with the ALS Association's policy team, treating ALS clinicians, and families who were denied coverage.

About The ALS Association

Since 1985, The ALS Association has been the only national nonprofit fighting ALS on every front — research, care, and public policy. The ALS Association serves families in every state through more than 100 Certified Treatment Centers of Excellence and a network of 220+ clinics. The ALS Association is the largest ALS organization in the world, funding global research collaborations while advocating for better public policy for people with ALS. Learn more at als.org.

TUCSON, Ariz., Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Canyon Ranch, the legendary wellness experience and hospitality company, is tapping celebrity facialist and wellness expert Iván Pol, founder of The Beauty Sandwich®, for a year-long partnership to bring exclusive treatment experiences to its destination wellness properties.

As beauty becomes more considered, the ideal is shifting from transformation toward refinement — looking like yourself, only more restored. This is the foundation of Iván's practice: a highly personalized, non-invasive approach to facial sculpting that enhances and defines what is already there, with results that honor rather than alter the individuality of each person.

That philosophy finds a natural home at Canyon Ranch, where beauty has long been understood as part of a larger sense of vitality and well-being. How we look is inseparable from how we feel and how we live, shaped by the interconnected role of sleep, stress, nutrition, movement, emotional well-being and longevity. It is this shared understanding of beauty — considered, restorative and grounded in well-being — that brings Iván and Canyon Ranch together for the first time.

As part of the collaboration, Iván will personally train over 40+ Canyon Ranch estheticians; sharing the technique, intention and philosophy behind a method long defined by his own hands. Training will begin at Canyon Ranch's Tucson, Lenox, Austin followed by Las Vegas and Fort Worth, marking the first expansion of Iván's practice into a destination wellness environment and bringing his distinctive approach to beauty to the Canyon Ranch experience.

"I've always believed that how you look and how you feel are connected. Beauty is an energy. It's about how you feel when you leave the treatment room and how that carries into the rest of your life," says Iván Pol, celebrity facialist, wellness expert and founder of The Beauty Sandwich. "The Beauty Sandwich has always been tied to my own hands, so I needed a partner I could truly trust. Canyon Ranch has understood the link between beauty and well-being for decades, and that makes it the natural home for this work outside my studio."

Booking availability for all locations on October 14, 2026, at www.canyonranch.com/beauty-sandwich, for treatments rolling out through the end of the year:

- Canyon Ranch Tucson Resort: Treatments begin October 15, 2026

- Canyon Ranch Lenox Resort: Treatments begin November 15, 2026

- Canyon Ranch Spa + Fitness at The Venetian Resort, Las Vegas: Treatments begin November 15, 2026

- Canyon Ranch Austin Resort: Treatments begin December 15, 2026

- Canyon Ranch Wellness Club & Spa, Fort Worth: Treatments begin December 28, 2026

Three treatment options will be offered exclusively for Canyon Ranch across the five locations:

The Beauty Sandwich® Snatching Sculpt + Lift Facial | 50 Minutes

$450 in Tucson and Fort Worth | $495 in Austin | $350 in Las Vegas

Iván's proprietary "snatching" method is sandwiched with four layers of technology (RF, oxfoliation, ultrasound and micro-massage) to calm visible inflammation and support collagen and elastin. The result is an instantly debloated, snatched and sculpted complexion without downtime. *At resort locations, includes Amuse Bouche Mist as a Gift with Facial. Not included in Las Vegas.

The Beauty Sandwich® Snatch Sculpt + Glow Facial | 50 Minutes

$430 in Lenox

Iván's red-carpet "snatching" method combines signature facial sculpting with three layers of technology (ultrasound, micro-massage and CO₂ oxfoliation) to smooth, refresh and visibly contour. The result is fresh, luminous skin with Iván's signature Snatched Glow™. *Includes Amuse Bouche Mist as a Gift with Facial.

The Beauty Sandwich® Snatching Touch | 50 Minutes

$325 in Tucson, Lenox and Fort Worth | $350 in Austin | $260 in Las Vegas

A hands-on expression of the "snatching" method, using expert sculpting and massage with Iván's award-winning skincare to visibly depuff, lift, and release tension across the face, neck, and jawline. The result is a refreshed, beautifully sculpted complexion with Iván's signature Snatched Glow™.

"Guests come to Canyon Ranch to feel more connected to themselves and better equipped to live well, and beauty has always been part of that," says Katie Mulligan, SVP of Spa and Retail at Canyon Ranch. "Partnering with Iván marks the next chapter of beauty at Canyon Ranch, at the intersection of high-performance skincare, sophisticated technology and longevity. Like us, he believes the best results don't change who you are. They help you look and feel your best."

Beyond the treatment room, Iván will connect with Canyon Ranch guests through special programming throughout the year. This includes a signature masterclass at Enchant at The Ranch, Canyon Ranch Lenox's beauty and wellness festival (November 1–4, 2026), and SNATCHED: Iván Pol in Residence, a special experience at Canyon Ranch Austin (December 4–6, 2026). The partnership will also extend to the table with a limited-edition Beauty Sandwich Menu, featuring a wellness shot, smoothie, and snack inspired by Iván's philosophy and reimagined with a local twist at all Canyon Ranch resort locations.

Folura Delivers Serevelle™ Saw Palmetto at the Exact 160 mg Dose Used in Randomized Trials — Now Available on Amazon for Men and Women

AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Triquetra Health, a supplement company built on single-active formulation and full-label transparency, today announced the launch of Folura™, a once-daily hair softgel built on one studied active. Folura is designed to work at the root, not just the strand — supporting the hair follicle, where thinning starts, rather than supplying nutrients to the hair already on the head. Formulated for men and women experiencing hair thinning, Folura is available now on Amazon and at triquetrahealth.com.

Most hair supplements just feed the hair you already have — biotin, collagen, and long vitamin lists aimed at the visible strand. For most adults who are thinning, that is the wrong layer. Thinning begins deeper, at the follicle, where a shift in hormonal activity gradually shortens the growth cycle and, over time, produces finer hair that sheds sooner. The result is a category that nourishes existing hair while leaving the root of thinning largely unaddressed.

Folura takes the opposite approach with one studied active at the exact researched dose. It is built on Serevelle™, a concentrated saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) extract standardized to its bioactive free fatty acids and dosed at 160 mg per softgel — delivering 105 mg of the ActiLipid4Hair™ complex, the exact amount used in the published trials. Serevelle supports the follicle at the root: it supports healthy DHT balance at the follicle while also supporting the active growth phase of the hair cycle. Both ingredients are disclosed on the label — no proprietary blend. The product is available at amazon.com/dp/B0HGNWDQM6.

Serevelle is clinically studied for hair — in men and women. In a six-month randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, participants taking the active gained roughly 25 more hairs in total hair density over six months, while the placebo group's counts declined by about 12 — 306% greater total hair density versus placebo (p0.001; Ablon 2026, Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology). The trial enrolled men and women equally, benefits continued to build through month six (roughly 40% larger at day 180 than at day 90), and no treatment-related adverse events were reported. Many people notice less in the brush within the first weeks, with fuller-looking hair building over three to six months. Folura contains Serevelle at that same 160 mg dose.

"For years, the hair-supplement aisle has asked people to feed the hair they already have and hope," said Sean Gill, Founder of Triquetra Health.

"We built Folura the opposite way — one studied active at the exact researched dose, working at the root, not just the strand. Serevelle was studied for hair in men and women, and we put it in the bottle at the amount the researchers actually used. This is what supporting fuller, thicker-looking hair at the source should look like — and the Supplement Facts panel is the pitch."

Each Folura softgel provides 160 mg Serevelle™ saw palmetto extract alongside 232 mg of cold-pressed pumpkin seed oil, which serves as a companion botanical and the softgel's natural oil base, plus a mixed-tocopherol and rosemary antioxidant system that keeps the oils stable across shelf life. Folura is manufactured in a GMP-certified facility on a USP-verified Serevelle extract platform, with third-party testing for purity, potency, and heavy metals. Full product details are available at triquetrahealth.com/products/folura.

Folura™ is available now on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/dp/ B0HGNWDQM6 and at triquetrahealth.com. Taken as one softgel a day with a meal, it offers a focused, fully disclosed approach for men and women who want to support fuller, thicker-looking hair at the root.

About Triquetra Health

Triquetra Health develops evidence-based nutritional supplements for consumers who demand clinical validation and full-label transparency. The company specializes in focused, single-active formulations built on studied ingredients at their researched doses — rather than multi-ingredient blends at undisclosed amounts. All Triquetra products are manufactured in GMP-certified facilities with third-party testing for purity, potency, and heavy metals. For more information, visit triquetrahealth.com.

Scope of evidence: Based on one six-month randomized, placebo-controlled trial of the Serevelle™ extract (N=60; Ablon 2025 & 2026, Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology), supplier-sponsored, single principal investigator, published in two stages. Folura™ was not itself trialed; figures reflect the Serevelle™ ingredient at the 160 mg dose contained in the product. Individual results may vary.

Leading food service operators rated TOPPAN Packaging highest among major suppliers for product quality and value for money

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- TOPPAN Packaging today announced that it ranked #1 in both product quality and value for money in an independent foodservice packaging survey conducted by Technomic, a leading research and consulting firm serving the foodservice industry.

The results come from a custom Technomic study of foodservice operators who were asked to evaluate packaging suppliers from which they currently purchase products. Among eight major suppliers included in the analysis, TOPPAN Packaging received the highest ratings for both product quality and value.

"This recognition is especially meaningful because it comes directly from customers who purchase and use our products every day," said TOPPAN Packaging President & CEO Ron Milz. "Delivering quality packaging solutions is essential, but equally important is helping customers achieve reliability, operational performance and long-term value. We're honored that the operators we serve recognize TOPPAN Packaging for both."

The study was conducted by Technomic, one of the foodservice industry's most respected market intelligence firms. Respondents evaluated suppliers they actively purchased from rather than ranking an unaided list of competitors, creating a direct measure of customer satisfaction among existing buyers.

TOPPAN Packaging solutions support a wide range of foodservice applications, from quick-service restaurants and convenience retail to healthcare dining, higher education, hospitality and entertainment venues. The company combines manufacturing expertise, product innovation and domestic production capabilities to help customers optimize packaging performance while managing costs.

"As foodservice operators continue facing pressures related to labor, sustainability and operating costs, packaging must deliver more than product containment," said Laura Buen Abad, TOPPAN Packaging's Chief Technology Officer. "It must simplify operations, protect product quality, enhance the consumer experience and create value across the supply chain. These results validate our commitment to helping customers achieve those objectives."

While TOPPAN Packaging is one of the newer names in the foodservice packaging market, the research revealed exceptionally strong satisfaction among customers familiar with the company's capabilities and performance.

"Being recognized as the industry's top-rated supplier for quality and value demonstrates the trust our customers place in us," said Jay Patel, Chief Operating Officer for Thermoformed Packaging at TOPPAN Packaging. "We look forward to building new relationships across the foodservice industry and continuing to earn that trust every day."

About TOPPAN Packaging

TOPPAN Packaging is a leading provider of packaging solutions serving foodservice, food, beverage, healthcare, pet food and consumer goods markets. The company offers a comprehensive portfolio of packaging products and technologies designed to enhance product protection, operational efficiency and sustainability. As part of TOPPAN Group, TOPPAN Packaging combines global innovation capabilities with local manufacturing expertise to help customers solve complex packaging challenges.

About the Survey

Results are based on a commissioned Technomic custom research study (Study #20371, April 2026). Respondents were foodservice operators currently purchasing from participating suppliers. Among eight suppliers evaluated, TOPPAN Packaging ranked first in product quality and value for money. TOPPAN Packaging achieved a two-percentage-point lead over the second-highest supplier in quality ratings and a five-percentage-point lead in value ratings. Base: Current TOPPAN Packaging customers (n=66)
