'The MITER Brands team is honored to be recognized with the H.B. Fuller Customer Innovation Award,' said Mike DeSoto, Chief Operating Officer at MITER Brands. 'At MITER Brands, we are driven by a vision to build the most valued window and door brand in America. H.B. Fuller has been an exceptional partner in that journey – bringing not only industry-leading adhesive technologies but also a collaborative spirit that helps us push boundaries, create solutions that continuously improve our products, and raise the bar for performance and efficiency.'
MITER Brands was awarded for developing new triple-insulating glass units (IGU), which enable lightweight, durable, and energy-efficient windows and doors. Through a collaboration with Corning Incorporated, a world-leading innovator in glass, ceramic, and materials science, MITER Brands created a high-performance glass system that enhances thermal efficiency, reducing heat loss and improving insulation while using the same window and door frames of a dual-pane IGU. The innovation enables lower energy consumption and enhanced indoor comfort, ultimately resulting in a reduced carbon footprint.
Dean Ruark, Vice President of Engineering and Innovation at MITER, said the development of its triple insulating glass system stemmed from the company's willingness to solve problems for their customers – problems their competitors believed couldn't be addressed.
'Customers wanted lighter, more energy-efficient solutions,' Ruark said. 'By leveraging Corning's thin, strong glass, we reduced the weight of impact windows and doors for Southern markets by up to 40% and created lighter triple-pane products for Northern climates. The new glass options made our products easier for professionals to handle and install, less effort for homeowners to operate, and more energy efficient.'

Best's Market Segment Report: AM Best Maintains Stable Outlook on South Korea's Non-Life Insurance Market
HONG KONG, June 04, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AM Best has maintained its stable outlook on South Korea's non-life insurance segment, noting a continued refinement of the country's domestic solvency standards that have helped strengthen insurers' capital management. Additional factors include moderate growth in the long-term and general insurance segments, and efforts to improve profitability in the former as well as in investment strategies. However, AM Best notes an offsetting factor of slow growth prospects and weakened underwriting profitability in South Korea's auto insurance segment. According to the Best's Market Segment Report, "Market Segment Outlook: South Korea Non-Life Insurance," the country's non-life insurance industry is facing capital pressure with increasing insurance liabilities, following the Financial Supervisory Service's (FSS) push for more realistic actuarial assumptions and a phased plan to cut discount rates until 2027, which are intended to improve credibility and comparability of insurers' financials. "These ongoing regulatory changes, coupled with a decreasing trend in domestic interest rates, are expected to pose a considerable burden on insurers' solvency, especially those with relatively weaker capital positions," said Seokjae Lee, senior financial analyst, AM Best. "However, AM Best expects these changes will promote economic value-based capital management for insurers to maintain sound capital adequacy across the industry." Over the next 12 months, AM Best expects the industry to experience moderate growth with heightened emphasis on profitability management of long-term insurance following a few years of intensified market competition and with a focus on mitigating increasing solvency pressures. According to the report, the auto insurance segment has experienced a slowdown in its premium growth in recent years, owing to sluggish vehicle registrations and cumulative premium rate cuts to support the consumer economy. A notable trend is a high and increasing market concentration among large insurers. "With the fast-growing online auto insurance market, large insurers are more likely to maintain premium growth as they benefit from factors such as economies of scale, strong marketing capability and digital infrastructure," said Chanyoung Lee, director, AM Best.

It also included a requirement for a third-party independent review of the work completed by the company. This third-party review was in addition to reviews the Federal Reserve undertook directly. "The Federal Reserve's decision to lift the asset cap marks a pivotal milestone in our journey to transform Wells Fargo. We are a different and far stronger company today because of the work we've done," said Wells Fargo CEO Charlie Scharf. "In addition, we have changed and simplified our business mix, and we have transformed the management team and how we run the company. We have been methodically investing in the company's future while improving our financial results and profile. We are excited to continue to move forward with plans to further increase returns and growth in a deliberate manner supported by the processes and cultural changes we have made." "This is a huge accomplishment for the 215,000 employees of Wells Fargo, who all contributed to this milestone – whether they worked directly on the risk and control efforts, supported the work indirectly by helping us embed a different way of working into our culture, or continued to serve our customers and clients day in and day out through difficult conditions. Our employees have invested so much of themselves into the company in recent years, and as a demonstration of our appreciation for what we have accomplished together, all full-time employees of Wells Fargo will receive a special $2,000 award1. For most, it will be in the form of a restricted stock grant. A $2,000 award means different things for different people, but we wanted everyone – including tellers, contact center representatives, administrative assistants, operations staff, bankers, financial advisors, and corporate staff – to have an opportunity to own a part of Wells Fargo and hopefully benefit from our future success."

Black, Chair of Wells Fargo's Board of Directors, added: "I want to thank our Board of Directors for their work in achieving today's outcome, including the substantial changes we have made to board composition and oversight. On behalf of the entire Board, I also want to thank the management team, and in particular, Charlie for his inspired leadership. Since he arrived in late 2019, Charlie has assembled a top-notch management team, overseen the details and the big picture of a major transformation effort, and made meaningful changes to improve returns through a global pandemic, periods of economic volatility and significant regulatory headwinds.
