YYFORCE SUBSIDIARY WINS SG$15.96 MLN FACILITY SERVICES CONTRACTS IN SINGAPORE

 

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 30 (Bernama) -- YYForce Inc (YYForce) announced that its Singapore subsidiary, Hong Ye Group Pte Ltd (Hong Ye Group), has been awarded multiple new commercial cleaning and related facility services contracts in Singapore with an aggregate contract value of approximately SG$15.96 million, or around US$12.5 million. (US$1 = RM4.07)

YYForce Chief Executive Officer, Mike Fu said the new multi-year contract awards expand the company’s commercial services business in Singapore and strengthen Hong Ye Group’s contracted business visibility ahead of the October commencement.

The company in a statement said the newly awarded contracts cover multiple properties in Singapore and are scheduled to commence across October 2026, with varying service periods and principal contracts extending for approximately three years.

Based on current contractual schedules, aggregate contract values are expected to be approximately SG$5.57 million in the first year, SG$5.55 million in the second year and SG$4.84 million in the third year.

In the first half of 2026, YYForce’s integrated facility management (IFM) revenue increased 11.1 per cent year over year to approximately US$16.06 million, supported by new contract wins, renewals of existing projects and full-period contributions from subsidiaries acquired in 2025.

The new awards expand Hong Ye Group’s portfolio of contracted commercial cleaning and facility services work in Singapore and provide YYForce with additional multi-year contracted business visibility, following its recently reported first-half 2026 results.

Hong Ye Group is an important component of YYForce’s IFM operations in Singapore, with the company’s strategy focused on combining established frontline facility services with technology-enabled workforce management and, over time, increasing levels of artificial intelligence (AI), automation and robotics.

YYForce said it believes this model can support improved workforce deployment, service consistency, operating efficiency and scalability.

The newly awarded contracts provide an expanded operating base through which the company can continue developing and deploying technology-enabled solutions within its facility services operations.

AM BEST ASSIGNS B++ FINANCIAL STRENGTH RATING TO BEIBU GULF INSURANCE

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 30 (Bernama) -- Global credit rating agency, AM Best has assigned a financial strength rating of B++ (Good) and a long-term issuer credit rating of “bbb+” (Good) to Beibu Gulf Property & Casualty Insurance Company Ltd (Beibu Gulf Insurance).

The outlook assigned to these credit ratings (ratings) is stable, reflecting the company’s balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as strong, as well as its adequate operating performance, neutral business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management.

Headquartered in Guangxi province, China, Beibu Gulf Insurance was established in 2013 through a joint partnership comprising 10 state-owned enterprise shareholders and three private sector investors, according to AM Best in a statement.

Its ultimate controlling shareholder, Guangxi Investment Group Co Ltd, a provincial-level state-owned capital investment company in Guangxi, holds a 29.73 per cent equity stake through its subsidiaries.

Despite being a small-to-medium-sized non-life insurer in China, Beibu Gulf Insurance holds a prominent position in Guangxi province, capturing nine per cent of the local market share by premium income in 2025. It maintains a diversified product mix, with motor insurance making up nearly half of its gross written premiums.

Leveraging strong relationships between its shareholders and local governments, Beibu Gulf Insurance gains access to business opportunities in policy-driven agricultural insurance and has continued to expand its liability lines in recent years.

Beibu Gulf Insurance’s strong balance sheet strength assessment is underpinned by its strongest level of risk-adjusted capitalisation as at year-end 2025, as measured by Best’s Capital Adequacy Ratio, supported by organic capital accumulation and controlled expansion in underwriting and investment risks.

After posting two years of net losses, Beibu Gulf Insurance returned to profitability in 2023 and sustained momentum to deliver mid-single-digit return on equity in both 2024 and 2025.

AM Best said the company maintains a well-diversified and liquid investment book, dominated by bonds, fixed-income wealth management instruments and cash. The investment portfolio generated a low single-digit investment return, which was above the average level of the domestic non-life industry in 2025.

Once licensed, Alpaca Singapore plans to provide brokerage and custodial services and serve as a local counterparty to prospective partners.

An in-principle approval (IPA) reflects MAS' view that a licence may be issued to the applicant upon the fulfilment of specified conditions and provided there are no material adverse developments affecting the applicant. An IPA does not constitute a licence for Alpaca Securities Pte. Ltd. to provide brokerage and custodial services at this juncture. MAS reserves the right to rescind the IPA in circumstances where it considers appropriate.

This is not an offer, solicitation of an offer, or advice to buy or sell securities or open a brokerage account in any jurisdiction where Alpaca is not registered or licensed, as applicable.

AGC Biologics, Flen Health Partner On Wound Treatment Development

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 24 (Bernama) -- AGC Biologics, a global biopharmaceutical contract development and manufacturing organisation (CDMO), has been selected by Belgian biopharmaceutical company Flen Health as its CDMO partner to provide process development, scale-up and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) manufacturing services for a new and improved wound and skin healing product.


AGC Biologics' Heidelberg, Germany, facility will provide the next stage of development and clinical-scale manufacturing for two recombinant proteins, lactoperoxidase and glucose oxidase, the enzymatic components at the core of the wound treatment's novel mechanism of action, after cell line development was completed by myBIOS.


Following the technology transfer, AGC Biologics will conduct microbial manufacturing at 100-litre and 1,000-litre scales using the Pichia pastoris expression system in support of Flen Health’s planned Investigational New Drug submission and Phase II clinical trials, according to a statement.


AGC Biologics Heidelberg Managing Director, Dieter Kramer said the company was advancing into full GMP development and manufacturing after building on a feasibility programme initiated with Flen Health in July 2025.


Meanwhile, Flen Health Chief Executive Officer, Georges Sollie said the companies' combination of Flen Health's novel recombinant enzyme platform and AGC Biologics' manufacturing expertise would accelerate development of the new therapeutic approach.


Flaminal has been used clinically for 25 years in European markets as a topical enzyme-alginate gel for difficult-to-heal wounds. Flen Health is now advancing an improved recombinant version of the product as part of its strategic entry into the United States (US) market.


While Flen Health's Phase 0 human study will use current food-grade enzyme formulations, the strategic transition to AGC Biologics' pharma-grade recombinant enzymes will occur ahead of Phase II clinical trials, in preparation for US regulatory submissions.


In addition to Heidelberg, AGC Biologics' global microbial manufacturing network includes facilities in Copenhagen, Denmark; Seattle, USA; and Chiba, Japan.
