Lun Tsuei joined the organization as the Director of Research & Development. Leveraging his PH.D. from University of California, Berkeley and his MBA from the University of Texas, Lun is versed in lean manufacturing and disciplined in the R&D process. James Costanza will work with Tsuei to share his knowledge and expertise in the industry to ready him for success to innovate new, sustainable products. James has contributed several patents and innovations while at KPS Global and remains involved in the organization as a valuable asset.

Jason Edevold also joined KPS Global as Vice President of Sales. Jason will succeed John Guerrieri who will retire later this year. John has been with KPS Global since 2018 but has 40 years of experience in the Refrigeration Equipment and Retail Store Fixture industry. Before joining KPS Global, Jason served as the Vice President of Sales for Chain Accounts, at Post Consumer Brands.

Also joining the organization is Tom Herberg who has worked in manufacturing for 28 years in various capacities and has also been a Lean Practitioner for 22 years.

Steve has been a valued member of the KPS Global organization and known to many in the industry and while officially retiring in February, he continues to support the organization including Tom’s onboarding process to ensure a smooth transition.

“We’re excited to have these talented individuals on our team. They provide a seamless evolution of key senior leadership roles in the organization.

Lasko says shoppers now expect fans to purify the air

Lasko says shoppers now expect fans to purify the air

Lasko says consumers now want sphere designs, per-person set points and air purification, alongside 120 years of retailer trust and a Made in USA badge. Dyson's own site lists purifying heaters at $659.99 and $949.99. A March 2026 executive order directs the FTC to prioritize Made in USA enforcement.

  • 01Lasko says demand has moved from a box in the corner to sphere designs in fresh colors that shoppers show off to friends, with a temperature set point for each person in the house.
  • 02Dyson's own site lists purifying heaters at $659.99 and $949.99 with app control, the dearer one with sealed HEPA H13 filtration, a benchmark for buyers comparing purification claims and price.
  • 03Executive Order 14392, signed in March 2026, tells the FTC to prioritize Made in USA enforcement, so the badge Lasko prints on its packaging is a claim retailers can expect to be asked about.

FTC orders nine companies to say whether personal data shapes their prices and pay

The Federal Trade Commission issued Section 6(b) orders on Oct. 28 to nine airlines, ride-hailing, delivery and retail companies asking how they use personal data to set prices and driver pay. The orders are study orders, not enforcement actions, and recipients have 45 days to respond. Several of the companies have said publicly that they do not set individual prices from personal data.

  • 01The nine recipients are Delta, United, JetBlue, Lyft, Uber, DoorDash, Instacart, Target and Walmart, and they have 45 days to respond.
  • 02Section 6(b) authorizes studies without a specific law enforcement purpose, and the FTC has not accused any recipient of wrongdoing.

  • 02Closing is expected at the end of 2027 or in the first half of 2028, after an Instacart shareholder vote and antitrust review in the US, Canada and Israel.
  • 03DoorDash targets $500 million or more in annual synergies and says it will reinvest more than all of them in the first year after closing.
