ERISA Fidelity Bond Compliance Reminder for 2026

RALEIGH, NC, UNITED STATES, January 16, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — As business organizations begin 2026 plan-year compliance reviews, Surety One, Inc. reminds benefit plan architects, sponsors, administrators, and trustees that ERISA-regulated retirement plans and funded welfare plans must maintain an ERISA fidelity bond to help protect plan assets from losses arising from fraud or dishonesty by persons who “handle” plan funds or property.

Under ERISA Section 412, plan officials who handle plan funds generally must be bonded in an amount equal to at least 10% of funds handled by those fiduciaries, subject to a $1,000 minimum and a $500,000 maximum per plan (with a higher maximum applicable to plans that hold employer securities). The purpose of the bond is to protect the plan and its participants from losses caused by the dishonest acts of plan fiduciaries.

“Year after year, we continue to see otherwise sophisticated fiduciaries overlook bonding. Sometimes they confuse it with fiduciary liability insurance, and sometimes they simply assume that a plan with few participants is ‘too small to matter’.”, per Sharon Poindexter, President. “Bonding is a foundational control intended to protect participant assets. It has to be verified as part of every plan’s annual governance checklist.”

Surety One, Inc. encourages fiduciaries and advisors to confirm that the following points are addressed as part of an annual compliance and governance review: Verify that the bond amount is adequate. Many plans fall out of compliance simply because the plan’s asset levels increased and the bond amount was not updated accordingly. Confirm that the bond is issued by a qualified surety company. Evaluate whether plan status, covered persons, or plan operations changed since the prior year in a way that impacts bonding requirements, including changes in who has access to or authority over plan funds. Also, pick the correct product. Fiduciary liability insurance and an ERISA fidelity bond are not the same. A fidelity bond is designed to protect the plan against losses from dishonest acts, while fiduciary liability insurance responds to allegations of breach of fiduciary duty and related claims.

Surety One, Inc. offers a streamlined application designed for speed and accuracy, including a short-form submission process for standard ERISA fidelity bond placements. The company also supports non-standard plans, including certain retroactive bonding requests, plans with unique asset blends, union, multi-employer, multiple-employer, 403b Plans, and other non-standard plan architectures.

Surety One, Inc. is headquartered in Puerto Rico and operates across the United States, Canada, and the U.S. Virgin Islands and Dominican Republic. Surety One, Inc. places ERISA fidelity bonds through highly rated and Treasury-listed providers. For information and online application access, visit ERISA-Bonds.com or contact a Surety One, Inc. underwriter at (800) 373-2804.

North Texas–Based Turf Product Solutions Becomes the Nation’s #1 Artificial Turf Broom Brand in Just 365 Days

CELINA, TX, UNITED STATES, January 16, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — North Texas–Based Turf Product Solutions Becomes the Nation’s #1 Artificial Turf Broom Brand in Just 365 Days

In just one year, Turf Product Solutions, a North Texas–based company, has accomplished what most brands take decades to achieve—developing, launching, and earning national recognition as the #1 Artificial Turf Power Broom in the United States.

According to independent consumer review rankings published by BestGardenPicks, the Turf Product Solutions Turf Power Sweep has been named the top-rated power sweeper for artificial grass in the country, outperforming legacy brands and competing products in performance, ease of use, and real-world results.

This rapid rise reflects a growing demand for smarter, cleaner, and more efficient artificial turf maintenance—particularly in pet facilities, sports applications, residential landscapes, and commercial installations.

Built by Industry Experts, Not a Marketing Lab

Turf Product Solutions was founded by Nick Ogilvie, a 20-year veteran of the artificial turf industry, nationally recognized author, and pioneer in turf installation and maintenance innovation. Ogilvie is widely known for pushing the industry forward through practical, installer-driven solutions rather than gimmicks.

“Artificial turf has evolved—but maintenance tools haven’t kept up,” said Ogilvie. “We didn’t set out to build another broom. We built the tool installers, pet facilities, and homeowners actually needed—battery powered, commercial-grade, and designed specifically for synthetic turf.”

Joining Ogilvie is Chase Dowling, Partner and Operations Lead at Turf Product Solutions, who has played a key role in scaling manufacturing, logistics, and national distribution. Chase comes over from the Pet Industry owning and operating a company for over 5 years.

“Our focus has been execution,” said Dowling. “From supply chain to customer support, we built this company to scale fast without sacrificing quality. The fact that we reached #1 in under a year validates that strategy.”

Why the Turf Power Sweep Stands Apart

Unlike traditional gas or corded sweepers, the Turf Power Sweep was engineered specifically for artificial grass systems:

Battery-powered (no gas, no cords)

Designed to lift pet hair, debris, and thatch without damaging turf fibers

Ideal for installers, turf maintenance professionals, dog facilities, sports fields, and homeowners

Lightweight, portable, and easy to operate

Backed by real-world use—not lab testing alone

The result is a product that doesn’t just clean turf—it protects the investment.

A Rapidly Expanding Product Ecosystem

Beyond the Turf Power Sweep, Turf Product Solutions has quickly expanded its product lineup to include complementary turf maintenance solutions such as Turf Animal Live Enzyme Cleaner, designed to eliminate pet odors and organic buildup safely and effectively.

Together, these products are helping redefine best practices for artificial turf care across the U.S.

Looking Ahead

With growing national distribution, expanding retail partnerships, and increasing demand from professional installers and pet-centric facilities, Turf Product Solutions is positioned for continued growth well beyond its first year.

“This is just the beginning,” Ogilvie added. “We’re building the future of turf maintenance—and we’re doing it right here in North Texas.”

HONG KONG, HONG KONG, HONG KONG, January 16, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Private label skincare manufacturing is one of the fastest-growing and most resilient sectors in the cosmetics supply chain. Topfeel Beauty is at the forefront of this growth, and has been widely recognized as Top Supplier of OEM Skincare for Private Label Brands. Their innovation-driven approach continues shaping category leadership and global market expansion.

The personal care and skincare industry is going through a fundamental transformation. From the increasing sophistication of consumers to the accelerated product cycle, this sector is experiencing a major shift. According to market research firms, by 2030 the global beauty industry will exceed USD 750 billion. Private label manufacturing is expected to capture an increasing share of this market due its flexibility, affordability and brand differentiation. In this environment, OEMs that provide future-proof innovations and compliant production capability have become strategic growth drivers for global beauty businesses.

A market defined by innovation, agility, and sustainability
In the past decade, consumers have shifted from price-driven purchasing behavior to a value-based expectation, placing a higher priority on ingredient transparency, efficacy and convenience. The OEM skincare value chain no longer focuses on the manufacturing output, but also on innovation velocity and technology originality. It is also measured by compliance scope and the ability to support a custom brand.

The following trends will shape the next phase of growth:
Rapid innovation cycles, driven by TikTok culture
Ingredient safety scrutiny and accelerating demand for scientific formulations
Customization, enabling hundreds SKU variations on retail platforms
Premiumization, where brand storytelling meets engineering
Automation and smart dispensing, bridging functionality and experience
These shifts favor manufacturers with deep R&D ecosystems and agile product development pipelines–conditions Topfeel was built upon. The company’s senior engineers, who have an average of more than ten years in the industry, and its unique internal product development frameworks are directly aligned to where global demand will be heading.

Certifications that strengthen global trust
OEM suppliers are required to demonstrate accountability and traceability in addition to basic production as private label brands grow globally. Topfeel Beauty is distinguished by a robust compliance structure based on internationally recognized certifications such as GMP approvals, ISO, DISNEY , and SMETA .
Topfeel has achieved GMP certification (Good Manufacturing Practice). This certification confirms Topfeel’s pharmaceutical-grade environment, as well as its strict quality control across ingredients sourcing and batching, packaging and filling.

* ISO Certifications including Quality Management Systems, ensure consistent performance and process optimization.
* Disney Factory Audit Authorization reflects ethical work practices, transparency of supplier governance and trust from internationally recognized retail ecosystems.
* SMETA compliance certification reinforces socially responsible operations, covering labor rights, safety, sustainability, and ethical sourcing–requirements many global beauty retailers now treat as non-negotiables.
These qualifications are more than just badges. They’re strategic enablers that help private label brands reach North America and Europe as well as Asia-Pacific and Middle East. Topfeel’s certifications are a great way to remove any barriers for clients in an age when brand audits dictate retailer approval.
Core Competence: Where imagination meets engineering
Topfeel’s competitive edge is not just in compliance but also in its ability to create innovation pipelines which translate concept visions into commercializable products.

The company has cutting-edge laboratories equipped with:
(1)The development of custom formulations
(2)Improvement of derivative formulation
The Brand Mirror concept is at the core of this ecosystem. It’s an internal platform that allows private label partners access to curated innovation strategies, while creating differentiated product architectures grounded in consumer insights.

Leadership is also a key factor. Topfeel Group founder, Mr. Sirou – widely recognized in the industry as a creative disruptor – has led the introduction industry reshaping innovation such as the “Reverse Suction Airless Pump Core”, the “Multi-functional Assembly Makeup Pen” and the “Smart Airless Bottle.” The “Multi-functional Assembly Makeup Pen” and the “Smart Airless Bottle” have all been recognized by the market as trend setters and design benchmarks for next generation cosmetic packaging.
Every year, nearly 100 new private models and intellectual properties (public-design) are produced. This is a R&D yield that’s unmatched by OEM factories. These designs give private label customers a unique visual and functional differentiation that allows them to compete in markets flooded with copy-paste solutions.
Product Applications that Meet Today’s Consumer Demands
Topfeel offers a wide range of categories in beauty and personal care, including:
The following products are available in smart packaging: (airless devices and dual chamber technologies)
Personal care products, body care, cleansing and fragrance-adjacent products.
These products can be found in a variety of retail channels, from mass drugstores to professional beauty chains, boutique labels, subscription box creators, and online DTC. 
Another flagship pillar is packaging innovation. Topfeel’s internal product development pipeline unifies formulation science with package engineering, giving brands instant access to turnkey solutions where compatibility and sensory feedback are developed in conjunction, as opposed to being treated separately.
Industry influence: A growth engine for global private label brands
Topfeel Beauty stands out in an OEM market that is becoming increasingly competitive because of its ability to create markets, rather than simply reacting to them. Topfeel Beauty is not only a manufacturer but also a developer partner, trend translator, and creative accelerator.

How to go from resolution to solution

RENO, NV, UNITED STATES, January 16, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — As the new year begins, millions of Americans reassess their health and wellness routines. Industry research shows that roughly 45 percent of adults set New Year’s resolutions, with approximately three-quarters of those resolutions focused on health and wellness. For many, the challenge is not choosing an option—but choosing one they can sustain.

To better understand what drives long-term success, insights were gathered from Red Light Method, a rapidly growing health and wellness franchise specializing in recovery-forward fitness and cellular health.
According to Allison Beardsley, founder of Club Pilates and Red Light Method, consistency is the defining factor in achieving lasting results.
“There is no single ‘best’ exercise or wellness option,” said Beardsley. “The most effective approach is the one a person enjoys and can maintain well beyond January. Consistency over time matters more than intensity in the short term.”

A Foundation Built on Recovery and Movement
Red Light Method centers its approach on cellular health as a starting point for overall wellness. Each session begins with a 25-minute medical-grade, FDA-cleared red light therapy treatment designed to support pain reduction, inflammation management, and overall vitality and recovery.
Following red light therapy, members participate in brief, low-impact exercise sessions that typically include vibration-based training on a Power Plate and Pilates reformer workouts.
“We see many people who experience wear and tear from years of high-intensity exercise without adequate recovery,” Beardsley explained. “Recovery supports longevity, but purposeful movement is equally important. Combining both allows people to continue being active without unnecessary strain. Working out on the Power Plate for 10 minutes is like exercising for 30 minutes. It causes the body to recruit triple the muscle fiber. It is a fantastic combination with the red-light treatments. Our Pilates reformer workouts are a workout that anyone can participate in at any level and develop strength and flexibility.”

Studio-Based Engagement Versus At-Home Options
Eric Tepper, CEO of Red Light Method, noted that structured environments often improve adherence and provide access to professional-grade equipment not typically available for home use.
“Over decades in the industry, we’ve seen that people are more likely to stay consistent when they show up to a space designed for participation. The studio environment gives people a community and a team of people to help hold them accountable in a loving way,” Tepper said.

ABOUT RED LIGHT METHOD
Red Light Method is a pioneering wellness franchise blending medical-grade red light therapy, Power Plate movement, and recovery and other modalities to deliver fast, affordable, and transformative results. Founded by Allison Beardsley—the creator of Club Pilates—Red Light Method is redefining the intersection of fitness, recovery, and longevity.

Continued Expansion Nationwide
At the time of publication, Red Light Method reported ten studios open and operating, with ten additional locations in presale and over 70 in development across the United States. Franchise territories remain available nationwide.
