L Catterton, LVMH’s Investment Arm, Forms Strategic Partnership with Saint Bella Group to Fast Track Global Brand Growth

(May 10th, China, Shanghai)Saint Bella Group recently announced that its investment in and entered a strategic partnership with L Catterton, the leading consumer-focused private equity firm affiliated with LVMH. Managing roughly $40 billion in equity capital and with investments in over 300 renowned consumer brands worldwide, L Catterton will collaborate with Saint Bella on technology innovation, international expansion, and the development of a premium brand ecosystem. This deep cooperation aims to power Saint Bella’s evolution into a global multi brand household care group.The partnership signals top tier international capital’s strong endorsement of Saint Bella’s business model and growth prospects, and represents a landmark strategic move in the household care sector.Complete Digital Transformation of the Premium Services MarketAccording to its official website, L Catterton was jointly founded by leading consumer private equity firm Catterton, world leading luxury group LVMH, and Bernard Arnault’s family holding company Groupe Arnault. It integrates Catterton’s existing private equity business in North and Latin America with LVMH and Groupe Arnault’s private equity and real estate operations in Europe and Asia, creating the world’s largest diversified private equity firm focused on the consumer sector.Under the strategic cooperation agreement with Saint Bella, L Catterton will provide cutting edge technology innovation support and deep insights into high net worth consumer behavior to help continuously iterate Saint Bella’s service experience and optimize its membership system.Backed by the core resources of the LVMH Group—a global leader in luxury that owns more than 70 renowned luxury brands—L Catterton can leverage LVMH’s digital transformation practices and strategies to help Saint Bella further upgrade and iterate its services and innovation.Top international capital enters the field, unlocking the potential of a multi brand global groupSince opening its first overseas store in 2023, Saint Bella Group has continued to expand internationally. It recently announced top tier hotel signings in five major global cities—New York, London, Paris, Bangkok and Sydney—marking the initial formation of its global operating footprint.For Saint Bella Group, L Catterton provides access to a global range of luxury and premium consumer-brand resources. Through this partnership, Saint Bella will leverage L Catterton as a bridge to actively explore cooperation with L Catterton’s portfolio companies and industry network—seeking luxury and high end consumer partners for joint product development, integrated membership benefits, and scenario based service experiences—to jointly build a cross sector ecosystem for premium maternal & infant and lifestyle offerings.The core strategic objective of the collaboration is to build the Group into “the Anta of maternal & infant and family care.” To realize this vision, the two parties will rely on L Catterton’s top tier global consumer network to systematically identify, evaluate, and target high growth potential new retail maternal & infant brands and cutting edge care product companies worldwide. Through a dual pathway of co investment incubation and strategic acquisitions, they will form deep capital partnerships with international brands that have unique brand value and product competitiveness—leveraging L Catterton’s global operating experience and consumer industry ecosystem to jointly expand into global markets—and selectively introduce leading international care product and retail brands to continuously enrich Saint Bella’s retail footprint and brand matrix. This strategy aims, via ongoing outward looking M&A and integration, to build a multi category brand ecosystem covering maternal & infant care, health foods, smart hardware, and more, ultimately accelerating Saint Bella’s evolution from a single service operator into a multi brand, group level global family health management platform.Backed by L Catterton’s long standing talent network and market strategy expertise in the global consumer sector, Saint Bella is expected to gain critical support for local operations in overseas markets, brand localization, and the recruitment of high quality brands and talent. As the partnership deepens and progresses, this two way resource linkage will help Saint Bella precisely meet international market consumer demands and promote its Eastern origin professional care system onto the world stage in a more mature form.Viewed holistically, this strategic cooperation brings not only international capital endorsement but also systematic access to world class consumer resources. From technology upgrades to ecosystem synergies, Saint Bella is completing a strategic leap from organic growth to external expansion. Against the long term trends of pro natal policies and rising family health consumption, the sector leader—having already delivered strong performance—now presents an increasingly clear global brand strategy for the future.About Saint Bella Group:Since its establishment in 2017, Saint Bella Group has been deeply engaged in the family care field, adhering to international standards for standardized services. It has now grown into Asia's and China's largest postpartum care and rehabilitation group. With an extreme pursuit of quality and forward-looking industry layout, the group has built a service network of 140 high-end postpartum care centers across 41 cities worldwide. Its business covers postpartum care, postpartum rehabilitation, in-home family services, and new retail of women's health foods, forming comprehensive, full-cycle coverage of family health needs and redefining the quality standards of modern family care.Contact email: pr@saintbella.com14/05/2026 Dissemination of a Financial Press Release, transmitted by EQS News.The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.Media archive at www.todayir.com

Kazakhstan Deploys Tesla Cybertruck to Support Security Operations at Turkic States Summit

Kazakhstan, May 14, 2026, When Tesla Cybertruck first hit American roads, it was widely viewed as a futuristic breakthrough in automotive design. Its relevance in government security operations is now beginning to draw attention.This week, Kazakhstan will deploy a Cybertruck as part of official state security operations during the Informal Summit of the Council of Heads of State of the Organization of Turkic States, which will be hosted in the Kazakh city of Turkistan on May 15.The vehicle will not be used as a ceremonial showpiece or VIP transport car. Instead, Kazakhstan’s State Guard Service has integrated the Cybertruck as a mobile command-and-control vehicle designed to support operational tasks during major security events.According to Kazakh officials, the vehicle will be used for rapid operational response, field coordination between security units, communications support, and command functions during high-level events involving protected officials.It is also expected to be used in the mountainous areas surrounding Almaty and the wider Almaty Region, where difficult terrain can complicate traditional security logistics.The deployment reflects a broader shift in how security vehicles are being used at major events.The modern security vehicle is no longer simply a car used to transport personnel from one location to another. It is increasingly expected to function as a mobile communications hub capable of powering drones, surveillance systems, field computers, secure communications equipment and rapid-response teams.This is one reason electric vehicles, including the Cybertruck, are beginning to attract attention from public security organizations.Kazakhstan’s State Guard Service says the Cybertruck offers several advantages for these operations: high mobility, strong electric power output for communications systems, quiet movement capabilities useful for discreet deployment, and the ability to power external technologies for extended periods.Unlike conventional combustion-engine vehicles, electric vehicles can keep critical systems running without continuously burning fuel while stationary. For law enforcement and protective services, which often spend long periods on standby, this can create operational efficiencies.Kazakhstan is not alone in exploring how electric vehicles can serve public security functions. Police departments in parts of the United States have introduced Tesla Model 3 and Tesla Model Y vehicles into municipal fleets, citing lower maintenance costs, reduced fuel expenses and strong performance capabilities.In Las Vegas, the Metropolitan Police Department has introduced a donated fleet of Cybertrucks for law enforcement use, including patrol vehicles and a SWAT-focused unit. Like Kazakhstan’s vehicle, Las Vegas’ fleet was acquired through private donations rather than taxpayer-funded procurement.Media reports have also described Cybertrucks being used as mobile security units in Jalisco ahead of preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, including for surveillance coordination and operational support.Elsewhere, police agencies in places such as Dubai and other international markets have continued to explore electric vehicles as governments look to reduce fuel costs, modernize fleets and integrate more advanced digital systems into public safety operations.These examples suggest a broader trend: governments are beginning to test whether electric vehicles can serve not just as fleet replacements, but as new categories of operational platforms.The Cybertruck’s unconventional design may support this type of use case. Its stainless steel exterior, large battery platform, off-road capability and ability to support external hardware make it relevant for functions that extend beyond normal policing. Potential use cases could include border monitoring, disaster response, search-and-rescue missions, infrastructure protection and mobile field command.Not every pilot project will necessarily lead to broader adoption. Questions remain about charging infrastructure and whether the Cybertruck can move beyond niche deployments. Its polarizing design also continues to generate debate. However, major technological shifts often begin with pilot projects that initially appear unusual.Kazakhstan’s deployment is therefore notable.The country sits at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, hosts major international diplomatic events and increasingly invests in advanced technology infrastructure. For Kazakh security planners, the decision appears to be about testing whether emerging technologies can address practical operational challenges.Notably, the vehicle was transferred to Kazakhstan’s State Guard Service free of charge by a domestic businessman, meaning taxpayers did not finance the pilot. That lowers the financial risk while allowing officials to evaluate whether the platform can deliver operational value.For Tesla, the deployment may also be significant. Public discussion around the Cybertruck has largely focused on consumer demand, production timelines and its distinctive design. If governments begin viewing the vehicle as a mobile command platform rather than simply a pickup truck, that could open additional institutional use cases.From Las Vegas to Turkistan, an emerging pattern is beginning to take shape. The future of the Cybertruck may include public safety and security operations in addition to consumer use.About World Impact Media OrganizationWorld Impact Media Organization is an independent global media and communications platform focused on international affairs, economics, innovation, and public policy.
