Celebrating Two Years in Malaysia: New Vision Display's Manufacturing Expansion Supports Greater Customer Growth and Resilience
New Vision Display's Malaysia operations strengthen global supply chain support, expand manufacturing capabilities, and help customers bring products to market faster.
ROSEVILLE, Calif., May 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- New Vision Display (NVD), a Shenzhen-based company, is celebrating two years of successful manufacturing operations at its Malaysia facility — a major milestone in the company's strategy to better support customer growth, mitigate risk, and strengthen supply chain resilience across the Southeast Asia region and beyond.
After more than a year of careful research across multiple Southeast Asian countries, NVD formally established its Malaysian entity, NVD (M) SDN. BHD., in August 2022. Factors such as cost, operational efficiency, supply chain stability, workforce readiness, and language accessibility contributed to the selection. NVD's prior experience doing business in Malaysia, along with strong ties to the region through senior leadership from Malaysia and Singapore, further supported the decision.
At the time, global supply chains were still under pressure from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. By establishing operations in Malaysia, NVD provided customers with improved production flexibility, reduced lead times, and greater regional support. Despite travel restrictions that initially delayed operations, NVD successfully launched its screen protector production lines in December 2022, followed by the expansion into Liquid Crystal Module (LCM) and touch panel production in June 2024.
Today, NVD Malaysia plays a critical role in delivering high-quality, customized display solutions that help customers bring innovative products to market faster and more efficiently.
The Malaysia facility spans 10,000 square meters (107,639 square feet) and is ISO9001, ISO14001, and ISO45001 certified, demonstrating NVD's commitment to providing customers with world-class quality, environmental responsibility, and workplace safety standards.
"Setting up NVD (M) SDN. BHD. and growing our production capabilities in Malaysia has allowed us to better align with our customers' evolving needs," said David Kruse, CEO of NVD. "Over the past two years, our Malaysia operations have enhanced our ability to provide strategic, agile support and strengthen the global supply chains that our OEM partners rely on."
With a strong foundation in place, NVD Malaysia continues to expand its capabilities to meet future customer demands and drive shared success around the world.

Red Lobster's 36-year-old CEO started as a Goldman Sachs intern. He reveals 3 bold moves he's cooking up for the seafood chain's comeback
Red Lobster CEO Damola Adamolekun came from a private equity and finance background, breaking into the restaurant industry through a successful deal he navigated. The former P.F. Chang's CEO outlined the changes he's enacting to save the beleaguered seafood chain from bankruptcy and to make it the beloved brand it once was. Damola Adamolekun reached the pinnacle of restaurant leadership in a somewhat unconditional way. Although the Red Lobster CEO waited tables back in high school, his first big career move was landing an internship with global investment bank Goldman Sachs at age 19. At the time, Adamolekun was a student athlete at Brown University, where he studied economics and political science. He continued to work as an analyst with Goldman Sachs following graduation for a couple of years, then moved on to become a private equity associate with TPG Capital, where he worked until 2015. But Adamolekun's big break came while he was a partner at hedge fund Paulson & Co., which now operates as a family office. In 2019, Paulson purchased Asian-inspired restaurant chain P.F. Chang's in a $700 million deal. Adamolekun said during a podcast episode of The Breakfast Club that he was the one who pitched the idea to buy P.F. Chang's to the firm. 'I thought we could do a lot of new things with it. We could add delivery, we could remodel the restaurants. We could make it more interesting,' Adamolekun said. The deal was successful—until the pandemic hit, wiping out restaurant and retail businesses. The P.F. Chang's CEO even stepped down during COVID, and Adamolekun had to 'rescue the situation,' he said. And with that, Adamolekun stepped in as CEO, officially charting his path to become a revered restaurant executive. The P.F. Chang's deal 'ended up being a really good deal, but not without a lot of blood, sweat, and tears for a few years,' Adamolekun said. He masterminded a plan to remodel the chain's restaurants and revamp the menu—and is largely using the same playbook as CEO of Red Lobster. Adamolekun, 36, took over as CEO of Red Lobster in September, as the seafood chain was crawling from the ashes of bankruptcy. He has a three-pillar roadmap for reviving Red Lobster, particularly in the aftermath of its endless-shrimp debacle. One of the biggest mistakes Red Lobster made was its endless-shrimp promotion. Because guests took advantage of the bonkers deal by consuming pound after pound of shrimp, the seafood chain ended up losing millions of dollars. So, needless to say, Adamolekun is steering clear of any future bottomless-shrimp promotions in the future. Instead, he's focused on revamping the seafood chain's menu. 'There's a lot of chain restaurants, [but] there's only one that serves lobster and crab the way we do,' Adamolekun told The Breakfast Club. The seafood chain is leaning into that differentiator, and one new crab dish has become Adamolekun's favorite. Adamolekun's master plan for reinvigorating Red Lobster includes remodeling the chain's 545 restaurants. But remodeling at that scale takes time—and money. For now, Adamolekun has implemented small changes, like changing up the music diners listen to while at the restaurant. 'We fix the things we can fix quickly,' he said during the podcast. 'The music is better.' The restaurant chain has also printed market prices for lobsters on table liners, and will continue to implement 'small things you can do now.' 'But comprehensively there needs to be a remodel…and that's something that we'll do in the future, I think,' Adamolekun said. Another cost-effective way the restaurant chain is making incremental improvements is through service and hospitality changes. Service workers are expected to greet guests more quickly and be more attentive. And Red Lobster has already seen tangible improvements from service changes. The restaurant chain tracks a sentiment score, which is a net positive versus negative sentiment, Adamolekun explained, or what people are saying is good versus bad at Red Lobster. The sentiment score was only 30 when he first took over, but last month it had doubled to 60, Adamolekun said during the podcast. 'When you go to Red Lobster next, you'll see it's going to feel different,' Adamolekun told The Breakfast Club. A version of this story originally published on on February 26, 2025.

Doug Ford calls out municipalities as housing money goes unspent
Ontario is having trouble giving money away for housing, but challenging times are making it hard to get. As Premier Doug Ford presented Toronto with a $67.2 million cheque to help build new homes amid a shortage that has pushed prices higher, his housing minister lamented more municipalities aren't meeting the housing targets entitling them to cash. 'We're going to hand out some nice 'building faster fund' cheques, not as many and for as much this year as we did last year,' Rob Flack said Friday at city hall with Mayor Olivia Chow. Toronto broke ground on 21,000 new homes last year, 88 per cent of its target. 'That's why we have the big cheque,' said Chow, who noted 'building is slowing' because of high interest rates, and higher costs that mean 'builders just can't afford to build.' The $1.2 billion housing fund was established in 2023 to provide financial incentives for municipalities over three years to build homes. It's intended to pay for infrastructure like water lines, sewers, roads and sidewalks. Money is paid as a reward to municipalities reaching 80 per cent of the target set out by the province. Ford promised in 2022 to build 1.5 million new homes by 2031 but the province is at half the pace needed to reach that number in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and the challenging business conditions that followed. While an average of 150,000 new homes a year is needed over the decade, the Progressive Conservative government's spring budget projected housing starts will fall this year to 71,800 — down from 74,600 in 2024. To spur construction, Ford's PCs passed Bill 17, the Protect Ontario By Building Faster and Smarter Act, which streamlines the approval process and fees for homebuilders, allows municipalities to reduce development charges on developers and delays payment until new homes are occupied instead of when a building permit is issued. As well, the legislation given royal assent this week extends the power to grant minister's zoning orders that override municipal bylaws, raising concerns among critics about preferential treatment for some builders. Ford repeated his calls for the Bank of Canada to lower interest rates and said economic uncertainty caused by U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs isn't helping the housing business. 'People are nervous if they're going to have a job or not.' Ford also pointed the finger at mayors of some municipalities he did not name, but who he said 'absolutely refuse to build.' 'We are going to work with the ones that want to build,' the premier added. 'They're going to get the money. The other ones aren't.' The premier reiterated that he would like to axe the provincial portion of the 13 per cent HST on new homes and has asked Prime Minister Mark Carney to scrap the federal portion. 'We just have to get everyone on the same page,' Ford said.

Truck Parking Club doubles network in under 6 months
Chattanooga, Tennessee-based Truck Parking Club recently announced it has surpassed 2,000 property member locations nationwide, a doubling of its footprint in six months. Part of the growth came from targeting diverse property types, from trucking companies and repair shops to storage facilities and real estate investors. 'This isn't just about hitting a number – it's about solving a decades-old problem that costs the trucking industry billions annually,' said Evan Shelley, co-founder and CEO of Truck Parking Club, in a press release. 'Every new location means drivers spend less time searching and more time earning. Our goal is clear: reduce parking search time to under 10 minutes per day.' The rapid expansion and milestone followed an announcement in February of the addition of industry veteran Brent Hutto as chief relationship officer, the position he formerly held at Truckstop. Part of the push is to build on driver momentum and turn it into enterprise-level relationships. Reed Loustalot, chief marketing officer at Truck Parking Club, said in an earlier interview with FreightWaves, 'Truck Parking Club grew organically and doing that we coincidentally have drivers in 60 of the top 100 fleets booking parking with us, and we have never talked to the fleets directly about having their drivers use our app. It's their drivers, their dispatchers and their fleet managers finding us.' Another advantage of being a truck parking aggregator is it's less expensive and turns otherwise unused parking locations into income production opportunities. Shelley wrote, 'New truck parking construction typically costs $100,000-$200,000 per space and takes years to complete, while Truck Parking Club can activate existing spaces within a day.' Looking ahead to the next milestone, the company is setting its sights on 10,000 locations. The Logistics Managers' Index's recently released May data showed a second consecutive month of expansion. The May LMI came in at 59.4 points, up 0.6 points from 58.8 in April. The m/m increase was impacted by inventories, which saw higher costs and slower movement compared to earlier in the year. The LMI is a diffusion index, with a score above 50 signaling expansion, while below 50 is a contraction. The interplay between warehousing costs and inventory levels was a big theme in May. Warehouse capacity fell 5.4 points in May to 50, while warehousing prices rose 0.2 points to 72.1, a strong expansion. 'This suggests that the inventories that were rushed into the country earlier this year are now static and holding them is expensive,' noted the report. The LMI transportation metrics were mostly stale, with movement less than 1 point. There were some nuances, according to the report. Capacity dipped slightly to 54.7, with upstream firms facing tighter space at 50 points compared to downstream firms' expansion of 65.3 points. Transportation prices rose more for downstream (66.7) than upstream (61.7), but the gap wasn't significant. Transportation utilization fell to 52.6 points, the lowest since November 2023. Despite lower diesel prices ($3.487 a gallon), a predicted import surge could stress intermodal and over-the-road networks, testing supply chain flexibility. On the import front, prognostications for an import boom similarly seen during COVID remain cloudy, due in part to American consumers having less cash than during the stimulus-fueled buying binge. The report adds that it was demand-driven, while the current surge in imports during Q1 was more supply-driven, as shippers tried to pull goods forward to avoid higher costs. 'Even though costs were high, there was a sense that they could grow higher in the future. Today, after several rounds of start-and-stop tariffs, shippers may doubt that the highest levels of threatened tariffs will ever come to pass. At the same time, costs are higher on imports from essentially every country than they were a year ago,' added the report.
