GREENSBORO, N.C., June 13, 2025 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — ITG Brands, the third-largest company in its sector in the United States, is proudly celebrating its 10-year anniversary with a series of events focused on community giving, employee appreciation, and the company’s continued commitment to economic impact across the United States, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic.

“Ten years ago, ITG Brands was founded with a bold vision – to challenge convention, operate with purpose, and make a lasting impact,” said Kim Reed, President and CEO of ITG Brands. “We’ve come a long way, thanks to the hard work of our people, the strength of our partnerships, and the trust of the communities we serve. As we celebrate this milestone, we’re proud to give back to organizations that share our commitment to service, resilience, and positive change. This anniversary isn’t just a reflection of where we’ve been – it’s a celebration of what is possible in the years ahead.”

As part of its “10 Days of Celebration” campaign, ITG Brands is donating $25,000 to nonprofit organizations chosen by employees across its footprint. In addition to regular corporate giving, employees have collected and donated essential goods to local charities over the past month, demonstrating the company’s values in action.

The selected organizations include:

• Humane Society of the Piedmont – Greensboro, North Carolina
• K9s for Warriors and Goodwill Industries – National support
• Hogar Nueva Mujer – Cayey, Puerto Rico
• Escuela Vocacional La Romana – La Romana, Dominican Republic
• Carbon County Environmental Center – McAdoo, Pennsylvania

“At K9 for Warriors, this donation means that we can rescue more dogs from shelters, professionally train them to become service dogs, and pair them with veterans across the country who are silently suffering,” said Joshua Hull, Development Manager of Corporate Partnerships at K9 for Warriors. “We are deeply grateful to ITG Brands for their generous support, which directly helps us save lives – both canine and human – and bring hope and healing to those who have sacrificed so much for our country.”

“We are so grateful for ITG Brands’ generous contributions,” said Kelly Kovacs, Executive Director, Humane Society of the Piedmont. “This support will help us serve families throughout the Piedmont Triad by providing affordable veterinary care, spay and neuter service, access to our pet food bank, and vital supplies for local public shelters and rescue groups. We thank ITG from the bottom of our hearts.”

Founded in 2015, ITG Brands has grown into a major economic contributor and employer across the U.S. and Caribbean. Its Greensboro headquarters, Pennsylvania manufacturing facility, and national field network support thousands of jobs and partnerships that strengthen the supply chain and local economies.

“ITG Brands is one of our region’s strongest economic drivers – from job creation to local business support, their footprint fuels opportunity, innovation, and community growth,” said Brent Christensen, President & CEO of the Greensboro Chamber of Commerce. “We are so honored to have ITG Brands in our business community and are proud to celebrate this milestone with them.”

“ITG Brands shows what is possible when corporate values align with community needs,” said Frank McCain, President & CEO, United Way of Greater Greensboro. “They have demonstrated that investing in people and partnerships yields lasting impact. So today, we don’t just celebrate 10 years, we celebrate the difference one company can make in countless lives. Thank you, ITG Brands, for your steadfast support, visionary leadership, and deep commitment to Greensboro. Here’s to the next 10 years of partnership, progress, and purpose – together.”

“For 10 years, ITG Brands has been an important part of Greensboro and North Carolina’s economic landscape,” Senator Gladys A. Robinson (D–NC, District 28). “They have shown what corporate responsibility looks like by giving back to the community, supporting workers, and investing in long-term growth. I am proud to recognize their contributions and appreciate their continued commitment to the people and progress of our state.”

“On behalf of our entire city, I congratulate ITG Brands on a decade of successful operations, steady growth and fueling the local economy,” said Greensboro Mayor Nancy Vaughan. “Having this international leader headquartered in the Gate City, has inspired other corporate entities to call Greensboro home. We value ITG Brands and its ongoing commitment to our community.”

“ITG Brands is an invaluable contributor to the American economy – driving innovation, creating jobs, and delivering consistent economic impact,” said Rep. Dr. Virginia Foxx (R-NC-5). “North Carolina is incredibly fortunate to have ITG Brands as one of its primary economic engines, and its positive influence across the state and within our communities continues to grow.”

“When we think about the economy, ITG Brands is making a difference every single day – bringing about good-paying jobs to North Carolina and making a real, lasting impact in our communities,” said Rep. Don Davis (D-NC-1). “Being a true corporate citizen means going beyond the walls of a building. It’s about stepping into the community, taking an interest in people’s daily lives, and treating them with respect. ITG Brands is doing just that – welcoming people into the process, planning for the future, and showing that this is not just about a corporation, but about a community.”

ITG Brands also recognized the many industry associations, business partners, and suppliers who have contributed to its success over the past decade. From strategic collaborations to operational support, these partnerships have been instrumental in building a strong foundation for growth, innovation, and long-term impact.

A special 10-Year Anniversary video features employees, elected officials, and business leaders reflecting on the company’s growth, community impact, and challenger mindset — all while looking ahead to the next decade of bold innovation and continued success as a challenger business.

ABU DHABI, UAE, May 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Caribbean Countries have been selected as Guest of Honour for the 34^th Abu Dhabi International Book Fair (ADIBF), held from 26 April to 5 May 2025, under the theme ‘Knowledge Illuminates Our Community’.

By hosting the group, the Abu Dhabi Arabic Language Centre (ALC) aims to highlight the cultural diversity of the 25 Caribbean Countries, strengthening their cultural and intellectual exchange with the Arab region. A special pavilion will be dedicated for the Guest of Honour in coordination with these countries’ embassies in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, celebrating their cultural diversity in literature, arts, music, and cuisine.

Spotlighting Caribbean countries as Guest of Honour forms part of the UAE’s efforts to strengthen the publishing and translation industries, enabling new partnerships to provide Arab readers with access to Caribbean literature. It also highlights similarities between Arab and Caribbean cultures, and reinforces Abu Dhabi’s position as a global cultural capital that embraces linguistically and culturally rich regions, promoting literary diversity beyond the traditional framework, which often focuses on Europe and the US.

A lively programme of activities was planned to showcase the Caribbean region’s culture, knowledge, and civilisation , underscoring its close ties with the UAE. The programme aims to strengthen the ALC’s collaboration with Caribbean cultural institutions, enriching the public’s culture with fresh creative content, while reflecting the UAE’s thriving and diverse landscape.

His Excellency Dr. Ali bin Tamim, Chairman of the ALC, said: “The Caribbean nations are home to one of the world’s most diverse cultures, shaped through centuries of interaction and influences from various nations, setting the stage for a distinct and unique cultural identity that we are pleased to highlight at the Abu Dhabi International Book Fair this year.”

“Caribbean culture is characterised by its innovativeness and adaptability, where it has forged and maintained a strong identity of its own despite external influences,” H.E. added. “The region has succeeded in creatively showcasing its heritage to the world, ensuring its continuity and visibility. Its literary contributions address core human issues, and with that in mind, we sought to host the countries of the Caribbean region in this year’s fair to explore opportunities for cooperation in creative industries, bring the Arabic language and other cultures closer together, and highlight our values of brotherhood and dialogue among peoples and cultures.”

The Guest of Honour programme also features literary, artistic, musical, and culinary performances, along with events and discussion panels featuring ambassadors, publishers, and authors from the Caribbean. While cooking demonstrations by professional chefs highlight Caribbean cuisine and its rich blend of African, Indian, and European flavours.

The ADIBF Guest of Honour programme is multifaceted, offering a variety of cultural, intellectual, and creative events catering to all segments of the community, and bringing together prominent Arab and international creatives to share their experience and knowledge with an audience of intellectual and literary enthusiasts.
