China's EVE Energy launches Shenyang battery base targeting cold climates
The Shenyang facility, backed by a 10-billion-yuan (about 1.4 billion U.S. dollars) investment from the Huizhou-based company in south China's Guangdong Province, will mainly produce low-temperature resistant, high-density and highly reliable energy storage and power batteries, aiming at addressing the critical industry challenge of poor battery performance in frigid regions.
EVE Energy's research center on the application of lithium batteries in cold climates was concurrently unveiled. According to its director Li Wei, the center will leverage the company's technology and regional partnerships to develop new materials and technologies, significantly boosting battery performance in low temperatures including charge-discharge efficiency.
The center is also committed to becoming a national-level energy innovation platform, providing strong support for the green energy transformation of northeast China's old industrial base, Li noted.
Tiexi District, where the base is located, is home to Shenyang's new energy vehicle industrial cluster and is pursuing high-end, smart, and green manufacturing. The district has amassed 450 key projects worth 181.6 billion yuan this year, including 185 new and 265 ongoing constructions.

CCIB acquires Alpadis
PETALING JAYA: Indah Secretarial (Penang) Sdn Bhd (ISPG) – an indirect, full subsidiary of CC International Bhd (CCIB) – has entered into a share purchase agreement with Switzerland-based Alpadis Group Holding AG to acquire all issued shares of Alpadis Trust (Labuan) Ltd (Alpadis) for US$750,000 in cash. The acquisition, free of encumbrances, aims to enhance CCIB's portfolio in the trust and fiduciary services sector. Incorporated in Malaysia on March 28, 2011, Alpadis is a licensed trust company based in Labuan. With a share capital of US$100,000 (100,000 ordinary shares), Alpadis provides comprehensive trust and fiduciary services, including asset protection, estate planning, tax planning, and wealth management for global clients. The company was profitable for the financial year ended Dec 31, 2023 (FY23) and FY24, though FY24 saw lower profits due to reduced revenue from management fees. Post-acquisition, Alpadis will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of ISPG, and thus indirectly owned by CCIB. In a filing with Bursa Malaysia yesterday, CCIB said the acquisition will be funded through unutilised proceeds from CCIB's private placement completed on July 26, 2023. The acquisition, expected to be finalised in the final quarter of this year, will not significantly impact CCIB's net assets, gearing, share capital, or major shareholdings for FY25. However, it aligns with CCIB's strategy to expand its professional business services, leveraging Alpadis' established client base to enhance market presence. The transaction represents a 3.5% ratio under Bursa Malaysia's Labuan Market Listing Requirements and does not require shareholder or additional regulatory approvals beyond Labuan Financial Services Authority's consent. No liabilities will be assumed by CCIB.

Tariff: Positive response from US to Malaysia's approach
KUALA LUMPUR: The United States (US) has responded positively to Malaysia's approach and engagements on tariff issues and proposals, said Finance Minister II Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan. He said Malaysia's proactive engagement and approach with the US is to understand the issues involved and to work together to navigate a path to find a win-win situation. The US responded positively to Malaysia's approach. Trade teams from both sides discussed how to navigate forward, he said. "The two teams held (productive) discussions and negotiations; progress is being made along those lines," he said during a fireside chat at the Invest ASEAN-Malaysia Conference 2025 moderated by Bursa Malaysia chief executive officer Datuk Fad'l Mohamed today. According to Amir Hamzah, Malaysia has always been non-retaliatory. It wants to work with the US to seek ways to improve trade for both sides. He noted that the trade deficit between Malaysia and the US comprised key components such as the electronics and semiconductor industries. He said many US-based multinationals are exporting to the US, and Malaysia was pleased when the US suspended tariffs for the semiconductor sector. It recognised that this was a critical asset that they wanted to protect. "But for Malaysia, it was important because it shows there is a lot of cross dependency between Malaysia and the US," he said. The minister also noted that Malaysia highlighted to the US in the negotiations that global supply chains are integrally linked and are difficult to decouple without significant consequences. - Bernama
