For the first time, one of America’s most iconic soups is available for gluten free eaters to enjoy, marking a milestone for Campbell’s. This answers growing consumer demand for gluten free options without compromising on taste or tradition. Approximately 30% of the U.S. population actively seeks gluten free options¹, and the U.S. gluten free market is projected to grow at a 9.8% compound annual growth rate from 2026 to 2033².

“For over 125 years, Campbell’s Chicken Noodle Soup has been a staple in homes across America. Partnering with Banza lets us bring that same classic chicken noodle taste to the growing number of people looking for gluten free options, made with ingredients like No Antibiotics Ever chicken meat and Banza’s chickpea pasta in a flavorful variety that will stand out on shelf,” said Benjamin Crook, senior vice president of soup at The Campbell’s Company.

Developed for quick lunches and busy weeknights, Campbell’s Condensed Gluten Free Banza Chickpea Pasta and Chicken Soup is made with No Antibiotics Ever chicken meat from USDA approved U.S. suppliers. Campbell’s and Banza worked together to develop a special variety of Banza’s chickpea pasta designed to hold up in broth while maintaining its texture in the finished soup.

“Banza’s mission is to inspire people to eat more chickpeas, and what better way to do that than partnering with one of the most iconic American food brands,” said Brian Rudolph, co-founder and CEO of Banza. “Campbell’s Chicken Noodle Soup has been a staple for generations. Bringing it to the gluten free community for the first time is something we’re proud to be a part of.”

Campbell’s® Condensed Gluten Free Banza Chickpea Pasta and Chicken Soup is available now on Amazon and will roll out to retailers nationwide, with a suggested retail price of $1.99 per can. To celebrate the launch, Prime members can save 20% on the new soup during Amazon Prime Day. For more information, visit campbells.com and eatbanza.com.

ISG to Publish Report on NVIDIA Ecosystem Providers

Upcoming ISG Provider Lens^® report will evaluate providers helping U.S. enterprises scale AI platforms from strategy through operations

STAMFORD, Conn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm, has launched a research study examining providers that help U.S. enterprises adopt and operate NVIDIA-based AI environments at scale.

The study results will be published in a comprehensive ISG Provider Lens^® report, called NVIDIA Ecosystem, scheduled to be released in October 2026. The report will cover companies offering consulting, deployment and performance optimization services for NVIDIA-based enterprise AI platforms.

Enterprise buyers will be able to use the report’s insights to evaluate their current vendor relationships, identify potential new engagements and compare available offerings. ISG advisors will use the research to guide clients through increasingly complex transformation and platform investment decisions.

The NVIDIA ecosystem is maturing as enterprises scale AI deployments and increasingly focus on AI reliability, governance and cost control. NVIDIA’s expansion from building hardware to offering a broader AI platform is changing how companies design and operate AI infrastructure. Enterprises are adopting NVIDIA-based environments to support AI factories, agentic workloads and digital twins across cloud, on-premises and hybrid architectures, increasing demand for partners with platform engineering, AI operations and governance expertise.

“Enterprises are looking for a clearer path through an increasingly complex ecosystem for AI platforms,” said Heiko Henkes, managing director at ISG. “As NVIDIA-based environments become more central to enterprise AI strategies, including physical AI initiatives, providers will need to help clients make practical decisions about architecture, operating models and long-term value realization.”

ISG has distributed surveys to more than 80 NVIDIA ecosystem providers. Working in collaboration with ISG’s global advisors, the research team will produce three quadrants representing the NVIDIA ecosystem services the typical enterprise is buying, based on ISG’s experience working with its clients. The three quadrants are:

• NVIDIA Consulting and AI Transformation Services, evaluating providers that help enterprises adopt NVIDIA-aligned AI platforms, operating models and roadmaps at scale. These providers support AI strategy, use-case prioritization, data readiness assessment, business case development and governance-led transformation programs.
• NVIDIA Deployment and Implementation Services, assessing providers that engineer, deploy and integrate NVIDIA full-stack AI platforms. These providers are evaluated on platform engineering, workload deployment and integration capabilities across hyperscaler, on-premises and hybrid infrastructures.
• NVIDIA Performance Optimization Services, covering providers that operate, optimize and continuously improve NVIDIA-powered AI environments at scale. These providers deliver services focused on performance reliability, GPU efficiency, workload stability and operational resilience.

The report produced from the study will cover the global NVIDIA ecosystem market and examine products and services available in the U.S. ISG analysts Dr. Tapati Bandopadhyay and Ashwin Gaidhani will serve as authors of the report.

A list of identified providers and vendors and further details on the study are available in this digital brochure. Companies not listed as NVIDIA ecosystem providers can contact ISG and ask to be included in the study.

All 2026 ISG Provider Lens evaluations feature expanded customer experience (CX) data capturing real-world enterprise feedback on specific provider services and solutions, based on ISG’s continuous CX research.

Digi International Announces Digi TX65 for Mission-Critical Transportation Connectivity

New rugged 5G platform helps transportation, traffic management and fleet operations reduce downtime, simplify deployments, and lower network infrastructure costs

MINNEAPOLIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Digi International (NASDAQ: DGII, www.digi.com), a leading global provider of Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity products and services, today announced the launch of Digi TX65, a new family of rugged 5G vehicle and industrial routers designed to help transportation fleets and distributed operations modernize connectivity while reducing operational complexity.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260616158499/en/

Transit agencies, public safety organizations, utilities, and enterprise fleet operators are increasingly challenged by aging 4G infrastructure, growing bandwidth demands, and the operational burden of managing multiple networking devices across mobile environments. Many deployments still require separate routers, switches, GNSS units, and serial gateways, increasing installation complexity, maintenance costs, and potential points of failure. Downtime in these environments can directly impact revenue, service continuity, and public safety.

Digi TX65 addresses these challenges with a single ruggedized platform that consolidates secure 5G networking, GNSS, Wi-Fi 7, and serial connectivity into one device. The platform is engineered to simplify deployments, reduce truck rolls, and improve uptime for mission-critical fleet operations.

Built on the next-generation Qualcomm SDX72 3GPP Release 17 platform, Digi TX65 delivers advanced 5G eMBB performance with carrier aggregation capabilities, HPUE Class 2 and Class 1.5 uplink power for extended coverage in public safety and rural deployments, tri-band dual concurrent Wi-Fi 7, and centralized management through Digi Remote Manager. The platform also features Dual SIM Dual Standby (DSDS) technology, allowing both SIMs to remain active simultaneously so failover occurs only to a live carrier connection without the delays associated with cold standby switching.

“Our transportation and heavy-duty industrial customers have been asking for a single ruggedized platform that scales from their small vehicles up through large passenger busses, light rail, or command vehicles needing the world’s best connectivity and Wi-Fi with multiple modems and access points. This Digi TX65 series covers all their needs,” said Tony Puopolo, President, Digi Managed Solutions. “This new Digi TX65 platform combined with our latest gen e-SIM, Digi Remote Reach, and artificial intelligence solutions in DRM make deployment, support and management easier and better than any competitor in the industry. This product is a gamechanger.”

Purpose-Built for Transportation and Industrial Operations

The Digi TX65 family is designed for demanding mobile and industrial applications including transit buses, traffic management systems, service fleets, light rail, public safety, and field service operations. The platform supports operation in harsh environments with IP64 protection, industrial operating temperatures from -40 °C to +75 °C, and support for rigorous deployment requirements.

The Digi TX65 family includes three models tailored for different deployment needs:

• TX65-5B-1N features a single 5G modem, tri-band dual concurrent Wi-Fi 7, GNSS, and industrial-grade ruggedization for transit and fleet deployments

• TX65-5B-2N adds a second tri-band dual concurrent Wi-Fi 7 capability for higher-density wireless environments and service fleets

• TX65-5B5A-2N includes dual 5G modems with multi-carrier redundancy for organizations requiring continuous connectivity and maximum uptime

All models include FIPS 140-3 validated security, eSIM support for rapid provisioning, and centralized lifecycle management through Digi Remote Manager. The device is also TAA compliant and aligned with Buy America and BABA procurement initiatives, helping public sector and transportation organizations meet evolving compliance requirements.

Simplified Connectivity with Lower Total Cost of Ownership

By consolidating multiple networking functions into a single solution Digi TX65 helps organizations reduce hardware sprawl, simplify installations, and lower long-term operational expenses. Integrated switching, GNSS, serial connectivity, and advanced wireless capabilities can eliminate the need for multiple standalone devices in vehicles and field deployments.

The Digi TX65 platform also supports FirstNet, CBRS, and Verizon Frontline deployments, enabling agencies and enterprises to deploy resilient wireless connectivity across both public and private cellular networks.

Digi TX65 is centrally managed through SOC 2 Type 2 verified Digi Remote Manager, Digi’s secure cloud-based platform for device provisioning, monitoring, firmware management, and remote troubleshooting. This enables organizations to manage large fleets of distributed devices from a single interface while improving visibility and reducing maintenance overhead.

Availability

Digi TX65 customer samples are available now. General availability shipments are expected in July 2026 through Digi’s global sales channels and authorized partners.

PitchBook and Samaya AI Announce Premium LLM Partnership, Powering Private Market Workflows with Industry-Leading Data and AI Auditability

PitchBook’s data powers Samaya AI’s Expert AI Agent Platform — delivering accurate, auditable private market insights into a single workflow

SEATTLE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–PitchBook, the leading private capital market intelligence platform, today announced a premium partnership with Samaya AI, the Expert AI Agent Platform for financial services. PitchBook’s trusted data is now natively integrated into Samaya AI through Q&A prompts and agent workflows, so investment professionals can access private market intelligence where they already work, with no platform-switching required.

The integration pairs the breadth of PitchBook’s data on private companies, investors, deals, and funds with Samaya AI’s leading system of large language models and purpose-built small models. PitchBook’s intelligence is synthesized alongside broker research and filings — enabling long-context analysis at scale and giving customers comprehensive coverage of private markets with full traceability back to the source.

With this integration, investment professionals can:

• Surface private company profiles including funding history, ownership, and key investors.

• Run deal comparisons and transaction searches for benchmarking and due diligence.

• Prepare for management meetings by combining PitchBook’s structured data with internal notes and research.

• Source transaction multiples with full auditability back to primary deal-level sources.

“The data grounding AI has never mattered more, and neither has knowing where it comes from. This partnership closes the gap between speed and defensibility, bringing full traceability back to primary sources,” said Tom Van Buskirk, Executive Vice President of Technology and Engineering at PitchBook. “By combining PitchBook’s trusted data and insights with Samaya’s expert-quality outputs, professionals get answers they can act on and defend, without leaving the workflow they’re already in.”

“One of the core advantages of Samaya is our ability to retrieve the right data an agent needs, across both our customers’ proprietary sources and the third-party datasets their work depends on. That’s what unlocks high-quality, end-to-end agentic workflows. PitchBook sets the standard for private markets data and insights, and this integration brings that depth directly into our customers’ work in Samaya,” said Suharsh Sivakumar, Head of Engineering at Samaya AI.

The Samaya AI integration marks the latest milestone in PitchBook’s expanding network of AI partnerships, which include Anthropic, Hebbia, Model ML, OpenAI, Perplexity and Rogo. Together, these collaborations extend PitchBook’s intentional approach to working across the AI ecosystem, bringing trusted private market intelligence to professionals wherever they choose to work.

Interface Releases 2025 Impact Report

Latest Update Highlights Climate Progress, Culture Investments, and Operational Excellence

ATLANTA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Interface, Inc., the global flooring and sustainability leader, today released its 2025 Impact Report. The report outlines the company’s progress across environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives. It highlights how responsible business practices, investments in people and culture, and continued climate progress can drive meaningful impact and create long-term value.

The report highlights the company’s approach to ESG:

• Environmental: Advance ‘all in’ strategy to be carbon negative by 2040, avoiding, reducing, and storing more carbon than ever before to reach bold climate goals.
• Social: Cultivate a values-driven culture to create a safe and healthy environment for all employees and support the communities where we live and work.
• Governance: Remain steadfast in conducting business ethically and responsibly and driving growth for all stakeholders.

“2025 was a record year for Interface. Our Impact Report demonstrates what’s possible when strong performance and responsible business go hand in hand,” said Laurel Hurd, CEO of Interface. “For more than 50 years, we’ve run our business with purpose and without compromise. It’s how we create positive impacts for our people, shareholders, customers, and the planet. As we look ahead, we remain focused on scaling that impact and leading by example.”

Interface achieved the following in 2025:

• Made meaningful carbon reductions across product types, with its total product portfolio footprint down 4% versus last year

• Added captured carbon to carpet tile manufacturing processes to lower the carbon footprint and store more carbon

• Introduced the first carbon negative rubber flooring prototype when measured cradle to gate, now offering 450+ carbon negative flooring options depending on location

• Accelerated circularity efforts by making post-consumer recycled content easier to specify across carpet tile backings

• Reduced Scope 3 upstream emissions from purchased goods and services, the company’s largest emissions category, by 2% year-over-year

• Embedded sustainability more deeply into procurement with supplier carbon maturity assessments

• Expanded employee feedback processes and culture development with pulse surveys and dedicated culture coaching

• Invested in leadership development to enhance the continuous growth and capabilities across the global leadership team

The 2025 Impact Report provides transparency into the company’s environmental footprint, including carbon footprint by product type, use of recycled, bio-based, and captured carbon materials, use of renewable energy, and enhanced employee metrics and demographic data. The report follows traditional disclosure practices. It aligns with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), and Taskforce on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).

U.S. Industrial Vacancy Rates Across Newer, Larger Properties Begins to Compress

ARLINGTON, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Demand for newer U.S. industrial properties over 500,000 square feet has allowed vacancy rates to contract over the last few quarters, according to data from CoStar, the leading global provider of online real estate marketplaces, information and analytics in the property markets.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260616437903/en/

While larger properties are seeing lower vacancy levels, new supply across mid-size and smaller warehouses, including new builds within the last five years and older existing properties, are putting pressure on the metric.

“Large logistics occupiers have returned to the market since the latter half of 2025, and a significant amount of absorption was driven by the delivery of build-to-suit properties,” said Juan Arias, national director of industrial analytics at CoStar Group. “While leasing activity has held up, average lease terms have compressed from around 7 years in 2022 to 5 years today for the largest leases. These shifts reflect a combination of supply chain volatility, evolving trade dynamics, and changing consumer demand, all of which have increased the perceived risk of long-term commitments. In response, tenants are favoring shorter lease terms that offer greater flexibility to adjust their footprints as business conditions evolve.”

Vacancy rates vary by size range and region, with overall availability for small-bay properties at 6.4% – well below the 10.9% rate for the broader logistics market. Steady leasing activity combined with historically limited construction, has kept vacancy rates in check across this segment in recent years, however, elevated economic uncertainty has weighed on small-business expansion plans over the past year, with direct implications for demand, particularly for newly delivered space.

Among major markets, Phoenix and Austin, which have seen more meaningful small-bay supply additions over the last few years, continue to hold higher vacancy rates for the segment.

For newer properties built in the last five years and larger than 200,000 square feet, supply is taking longer to digest, particularly for mid-sized properties. Vacancy rates for new logistics properties are at the highest levels since 2006, except for the largest property segment of over 500,000 square feet.
