Aurastone Announces Malaysia Expansion With New Johor Fabrication Hub and Design Showroom
Aurastone’s dedicated fabrication facility and curated slab showroom now support Malaysia’s growing demand for modern surface solutions.
JOHOR BAHRU, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 28 January 2026 – Aurastone has officially expanded into Malaysia with the launch of its new fabrication hub and design showroom in Johor Bahru.
Leveraging its established base in Singapore and a strong track record across residential and commercial work, Aurastone’s entry into Malaysia strengthens support for the country’s vibrant design community, from architects and interior designers to homeowners.
With close to a decade of operational expertise and over 15,000 surfaces produced annually, Aurastone’s Malaysia facility provides full in-house capabilities covering cutting, finishing, quality control and installation support.
A New Benchmark for Sintered Stone in Malaysia
Aurastone’s launch features Mysa by Nabel, a premium sintered stone range renowned for durability, hygiene and design versatility. The collection offers a broad selection of Bold Marbled, Subtle Marbled, Speckled, Solid and Timber-inspired designs, giving designers a wide palette to work with across both contemporary and classic interior concepts.
Beyond its wide selection of marbled, subtle, timber-look and speckled designs, Aurastone also offers one of the most varied finishing suites available. Polished delivers clarity and sheen, Suede and Sheen+ introduce refined matte textures ideal for contemporary projects, and Textured Graphite brings dimensionality for high-impact surfaces.
This breadth allows architects and designers to fine-tune both aesthetic and tactile qualities, helping homeowners achieve spaces that feel intentional and well-considered.
To support design professionals, Aurastone Malaysia’s new showroom will feature a curated library of 30 to 40 sintered stone slabs across bold marbled, subtle marbled, timber-look and speckled collections. This is one of the larger collections of sintered stone slabs in Johor.
Chris Goh, Marketing Director & Co-Founder, Aurastone, said:
“Aurastone’s expansion into Malaysia reflects our commitment to supporting the region’s growing design ambitions. With our product portfolio and a full in-house fabrication hub in Johor, we are focused on giving architects, designers and homeowners access to well-considered materials, consistent craftsmanship, and a smoother, more reliable project experience.”
One-Stop Support for Architects and Interior Designers
The Johor facility will serve as a strategic hub for:
- Custom fabrication of stone surfaces, such as sintered stone, quartz, and granite
- Consultation support for architects, IDs and developers
- Fast-turnaround prototyping for complex designs
- Quality-controlled fabrication aligned with Singapore standards
- Site measurement and installation support across Johor and Kuala Lumpur
The brand is also an authorised Malaysian dealer for several leading international surface brands, including Caesarstone, Dekton and Silestone, complementing the Mysa by Nabel range with broader material options.
EPD-Verified Environmental Performance
As part of its material selection standards, Aurastone prioritises sintered stone surfaces supported by Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) registered under The International EPD® System, including its Mysa by Nabel range.
An EPD is a third-party verified, internationally-recognised document that transparently reports a material’s environmental impact across its full life cycle – from raw material sourcing and manufacturing through transport, use, and end-of-life.
Unlike self-declared sustainability claims, EPDs are developed in accordance with ISO 14025 and EN 15804 standards and independently verified by external auditors. This provides architects, interior designers, and developers with credible, standardised environmental data that can be used to support green building documentation, ESG reporting, and sustainability frameworks such as LEED and BCA Green Mark.

As awareness around women’s health continues to grow, menopause remains a life stage that is frequently underserved by mainstream health solutions. JR Life Sciences is responding to this gap with a science-backed, plant-derived formulation that offers a natural alternative to conventional hormone-based therapies, one that is both accessible and aligned with the preferences of today’s health-conscious consumer.
Menopause Relief is a once-daily capsule containing three plant-based phytoestrogens, each selected for their clinically studied benefits in managing menopause symptoms and supporting long-term health. The formulation is free from synthetic hormones and is suitable for both vegetarian and vegan diets, making it broadly accessible across diverse consumer lifestyles.
Key active ingredients include:

- Flax Lignan (SDG phytoestrogen): Provides gentle hormonal support that helps balance oestrogen levels during the transition.
- Soy Isoflavone (genistein and daidzein): Supports bone strength, reduces hot flashes and steadies mild mood swings.
The launch of Menopause Relief reflects a broader strategic priority for JR Life Sciences: to expand its women’s health portfolio in response to growing consumer demand for natural health solutions. In Singapore, where an ageing population is driving increased interest in preventive health and targeted supplementation, the company sees a significant opportunity to better serve women navigating the menopause transition.

VinFast’s Expansion Mirrors the Global Shift in EV Growth
Emerging economies are becoming the EV industry’s fastest-growing markets, creating new opportunities for automakers with an international footprint. VinFast’s latest expansion reflects that shift.
DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES – Media OutReach Newswire – 5 August 2026 – For much of the past decade, the global electric vehicle conversation has revolved around three markets: China, the United States, and Europe. But recent industry data suggests the next chapter may be written elsewhere.
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global car sales fell about 5% in the first half of 2026 as economic pressures, fuel price volatility and policy changes weighed on demand in China and the US. Yet electric vehicle sales rebounded strongly in the second quarter, reaching record levels in 50 countries. Markets including Vietnam, India, Australia and South Korea roughly doubled EV sales compared with a year earlier, while more than 90 countries posted year-on-year growth during the first half of the year.
The shift reflects a broader change in where future industry growth is likely to come from. While China remains the world’s largest EV market, the IEA expects sales there to stagnate this year for the first time this decade, even as electric vehicles account for more than 60% of new car sales. Meanwhile, emerging markets are becoming increasingly important, supported by expanding policy incentives, growing charging infrastructure and rising consumer interest.
The agency also notes that China and other emerging economies are expected to account for around 60% of global car demand over the next decade, making success in these markets an increasingly important determinant of future automotive leadership.
VinFast’s latest performance reflects this changing landscape.
The Vietnamese automaker delivered 70,085 electric vehicles globally in the second quarter of 2026, up 96% year-on-year, bringing first-half deliveries to 128,662 vehicles, a 78% increase from the same period last year. The company’s two-wheel business also continued to expand rapidly, with 286,039 electric scooters and e-bikes delivered during the quarter, up 311% year-on-year.
The delivery mix also highlights the importance of products designed for diverse market needs. Models ranging from the compact VF 3 and VF 5 to the Limo Green MPV and the newly introduced VF MPV 7 all contributed meaningfully to second-quarter volumes, suggesting demand is spread across both personal mobility and commercial transportation segments.
Just as significant is where those vehicles are going.
In July, VinFast exported more than 5,000 electric vehicles aboard two dedicated vessels. One shipment, consisting of approximately 1,500 VF 6 SUVs, was designated for partner Green SM’s planned expansion in Europe, while another transported more than 3,500 vehicles to the Philippines and Indonesia. The voyages marked VinFast’s 37th and 38th international export shipments in fewer than four years, underscoring the increasing operational scale behind its global expansion.
VinFast’s effort in international market, including in the Middle East, shows that as growth becomes more geographically diversified, automakers can no longer rely on a handful of mature markets to drive expansion. Instead, success will increasingly depend on building products, distribution networks and operations that can compete across a wide range of emerging economies.
For the global EV industry, the center of gravity is not disappearing from established markets. It is becoming far more distributed. VinFast’s recent momentum suggests that companies positioned across multiple high-growth regions may be among the best placed to benefit from that shift.
