NEW YORK’S 30 HUDSON YARDS IS A TOWERING TESTAMENT TO KRYTON INTERNATIONAL’S INNOVATIVE CONCRETE WATERPROOFING SOLUTIONS

The Hoyt Organization

NEW YORK – February 4, 2025 – The now iconic 30 Hudson Yards—the crown jewel of New York’s $25-billion Hudson Yards megaproject—is widely recognized for its futuristic architecture that famously reshaped Manhattan’s skyline. Six years after the 103-story office tower opened, Kryton International points out that one of the project’s most enduring feats exists in an unseen location. Kryton, a global leader in developing cutting-edge advancements in protecting concrete from water’s corrosive effects, assisted architects and engineers in solving a critical underground challenge long before the skyscraper began its vertical ascent to eventually pass the Empire State Building as the 8 th tallest U.S. building. The building is in a 100-year flood plain above a working rail yard, which would be active throughout construction and revealed visual evidence of the water infiltration’s corrosive effect on concrete. The structure’s below-grade foundation, which was already a significant engineering challenge, would have to be 100% watertight for the life of the building. All architectural triumphs, noted Kryton Vice President for Product Development Kevin Yuers, require three things: great design, quality materials and workmanship. That formula is how Hudson Yards’ subterranean infrastructure, for which Kryton’s materials were critical, maintains stability, resilience and sustainability to the inhospitable building site. “Most opinions of 30 Hudson Yards’ architecture are formed by looking up, but design excellence also lies beneath our feet,” Yuers said. “The innovation that occurred below the surface was a masterful combination of design, materials, and skilled workmanship that was as much a window to the future as the tower’s striking presence in the New York skyline. Though Kryton has been part of major developments in 50 countries, this project spotlighted the critical role of waterproofing technology in the future of construction.” Indeed, Kryton’s concrete waterproofing solutions are part of many globally-recognized developments – including construction of the new World Trade Center – but nothing has attracted the public spotlight quite like 30 Hudson Yards’ underground challenges. The 2012 groundbreaking ceremony was just three months after Hurricane Sandy devastated New York City with catastrophic flooding. The storm underscored the critical importance of protecting foundations from saltwater intrusion. “Hurricane Sandy was a glaring worst-case scenario of the devastating potential of saltwater flooding, which has a destructive impact on the stability and durability of exposed concrete structures,” said Yuers, noting that concrete is the world’s second most-used substance after water. “This very real threat reinforced the importance and availability of materials that can keep foundations 100% watertight for a building’s entire service life.” In anticipation of 30 Hudson Yards eventual status as Manhattan’s premier office property for Fortune 500 tenants, flawless structural integrity, durability and long-term sustainability of the foundation was among many non-negotiable expectations. To meet the rigorous demands of this project, architectural firm Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates and building envelope consultant Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates, Inc. selected Kryton’s Krystol Internal Membrane™ (KIM®) as the waterproofing solution for the below-grade foundation. The KIM system was applied to key areas including the base slab, elevator pits, flood retention tank, and Amtrak’s underground wheel truer facility. Kryton’s Krystol T1® was applied to both new and preexisting foundation walls, retail podium slab, and the machine room. Krytonite Swelling Waterstop and Krystol Waterstop Treatment formed watertight construction joints. This was critical where old and new concrete meet, which can be particularly leak prone. The Krystol technology enables concrete to self-seal cracks and block water indefinitely, while Krytonite Waterstop’s compression sealing power is four times greater than conventional methods to ensure long-lasting prevention against water intrusion. After six years, 30 Hudson Yards’ foundation remains completely watertight—a testament to the reliable performance that Kryton products consistently deliver. As a result, they have become essential to a growing number of architects, engineers, and builders. “30 Hudson Yards has literally become a towering testimonial to our concrete technology’s ability to extend the service life, safety and sustainability of concrete structures in even the most difficult conditions. The last six years have proven Kryton’s value to a bigger audience,” emphasized Alain Lok, Kryton Senior Business Manager, Northeast USA, who worked closely with the company’s regional distributor, Dry Concrete CEO Greg Maugeri, to ensure project success. “Together with our partners at Dry Concrete, we supported 30 Hudson Yards as both manufacturer and distributor to provide a superior product, expertise and countless hours of support to make this project a success.” Since its opening, the ambitious development has remained Manhattan’s premier mixed-use property—attracting a tenant base of Fortune 500 companies and some of the most notable retailers—while commanding the city’s highest office lease rates. The skyscraper achieved LEED Gold certification and earned the H. Bruce Russell Global Innovator’s Award for its transformative workplace design and smart building environment. Its foundation is expected to remain watertight and corrosion free for generations. ABOUT KRYTON Kryton International Inc. is the inventor of the crystalline waterproofing admixture and has been waterproofing concrete structures with its proprietary KrystolÂ® technology since 1973. Kryton has won awards for innovation, manufacturing, best place to work, and entrepreneurship. Kryton is an active member of the American Concrete Institute, International Concrete Repair Institute, American Shotcrete Association, and many other thought-leading organizations. Kryton exports its products to more than 50 countries globally. www.kryton.com Contact Details Kryton International Leeza Hoyt +1 310-343-3197 llhoyt@hoytorg.com Company Website https://www.kryton.com/

Globavend (NASDAQ: GVH) Inked Key Partnerships In Home Market Oceania As It Focuses On Footprint Expansion, Competing With The Likes Of FedEx and DHL

Benzinga

By Kyle Anthony, Benzinga In an increasingly interconnected world where one’s customers are not only within their local market but can also be in different regions across the globe, the ability to efficiently deliver goods is critical. Globavend Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: GVH ), an emerging e-commerce logistics provider offering end-to-end logistics solutions in Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand, is entering the global logistics ecosystem, going against established players such as Deutsche Post AG (DHL) (OTC: DHLGY), FedEx Corp (NYSE: FDX) and Hongkong Post in delivering packages to the front door of awaiting individuals. Globavend’s mission is to combine their experience, knowledge and network with flexibility and agility to provide a one-stop logistics solution to customers and enterprises. Founded in 2016, the company has grown over the years, becoming a premier service provider of end-to-end logistics solutions. While traditional logistics providers often offer a piecemeal service, requiring customers to coordinate with various service providers to fulfill delivery, Globavend takes ownership across the logistics value chain, including warehousing, customs clearance and air freight or ground transportation services. The firm’s ability to undertake such ownership stems from its proprietary all-in-one shipping solution, which can be connected to the internal sales or booking systems of customers as well as the carrier management systems of ground transportation carriers to facilitate effective logistics management. Globavend reports that having this depth of control has enabled the firm to provide efficient and customer-oriented services to great success. Globavend became a publicly traded company in November 2023, and in March 2024, the firm entered into a $20 million equity purchase agreement with Square Gate Capital Master Fund, LLC – Series 1. In both instances, the impetus behind these liquidity corporate actions was to bolster the firm’s capabilities by expanding warehouse capacity or elevating e-commerce logistics services into different verticals of the logistics supply chain. Growth In E-Commerce Within Oceania Within Oceania, specifically Australia and New Zealand, e-commerce has grown in recent years. As reported by the 2024 Australia Post eCommerce Industry Report, Australians spent approximately AU$63 billion (roughly $40 billion) online in 2023. With 8 out of 10 Australians shopping online during the year – which is estimated to be around 9.5 million households – the adoption of e-commerce is growing. E-commerce adoption is expected to continue growing, as the online share of retail spending was just 16.8% for the year; down from the 25% threshold attained during the COVID-19 period. The growth in e-commerce is a key driver for the Australian freight and logistics market, which was estimated to be worth $89.78 billion in 2023 and is estimated to grow to $136.91 billion by 2032, based on research conducted by imarc. From a competitive standpoint, while multi-national firms such as DHL and FedEx are operators within the region, private logistic firms and governmental postal services are also competitive entities within the local logistical landscape. Within this competitive landscape, Globavend’s value proposition is being a reliable one-stop shipping provider specifically designed for e-commerce businesses, with a lower price point than DHL and FedEx but providing comparable service quality in delivery. As noted by Research and Markets, the growth of the logistical landscape will continue into the foreseeable future, as factors such as the Australian government improving logistical infrastructure, a growing consumer base, rising exports and imports and increasing demand for products will broaden the ecosystem. Globavend: Scaling For Operational Excellence Globavend is taking the necessary actions to meet the expected demand for e-commerce from its key markets in the coming years. As outlined in its corporate presentation, the firm plans to take strategic action to strengthen its competitive position within the markets it operates in. An example of this is expanding its logistical services into different verticals of the logistics supply chain. Given that Globavend currently utilizes a network of service providers, its expansion plans include setting up ground transportation and customs clearance service teams. Furthermore, the firm plans to leverage technology to enhance its service offerings, namely, expanding parcel collection networks with smart facilities and providing 24/7 pickup, collection and drop-off services. Attaining scale and a broad distribution network is essential for competitiveness within the logistics industry. To that end, Globavend plans to upgrade warehousing facilities for value-added logistics services and explore the formation of strategic alliances or acquisition opportunities. Recently, the firm began partnering with NZ Post – a state-owned enterprise with the New Zealand Government as its sole shareholder – for last-mile delivery services. The company entered into a similar partnership with Australia Post, another state-owned enterprise that provides postal services across Australia. Apart from these, Globavend has also entered into a block space agreement with Australia's largest airline, Qantas Airways. The airline carrier will provide Globavend with secured cargo space in its flights to and across Australia, thus allowing the firm to deliver products across the country more efficiently by leveraging the airline's significant network. Globavend, An Emergent Industry Leader With e-commerce expected to grow in the future, Globavend is positioning itself to be a logistical leader and a top-of-mind choice for clients seeking to move their goods to individuals. The strategic actions the firm is undertaking to bolster its value proposition in the marketplace seek to enable the company to grow its market share and be a distinct operator relative to its industry peers.
