The initiative marks PetPivot’s first offline corporate social responsibility program and its first direct product donation to an animal rescue organization. By placing its technology in active adoption and care environments, the company aims to address practical shelter needs while helping provide cats awaiting permanent homes with cleaner, more sanitary and more comfortable living spaces.

The donated Autoscooper 12 will be distributed throughout Morris Animal Refuge’s adoption network, where they are expected to support daily litter maintenance and reduce the amount of time caregivers spend on repetitive cleaning tasks. The donation may allow shelter and adoption personnel to devote more attention to animal enrichment, behavioral support and other essential care responsibilities.

Raymond, public relations manager for PetPivot, described the partnership as an important step in the company’s effort to apply pet technology to broader animal-welfare needs. The initiative reflects PetPivot’s belief that smart pet-care products should contribute not only to household convenience but also to safer and more dignified conditions for vulnerable animals.

Autoscooper 12 is PetPivot’s flagship fully automatic litter box. The product was developed with an emphasis on safety, reliability and practical daily use. Its design includes seven internal infrared sensors, a front touch sensor and a semi-gear open-cabin structure intended to provide active safety protection while maintaining a physical exit for cats.

PetPivot has sold more than 300,000 automatic litter boxes globally, according to company-provided information. The brand has also expanded its presence across major retail and e-commerce platforms, including Amazon, TikTok Shop, Walmart and Chewy. The Morris Animal Refuge partnership extends that growth into a new area by demonstrating how consumer pet technology can support nonprofit organizations facing daily operational demands.

Founded in 1874, Morris Animal Refuge is recognized as a pioneer in animal welfare and serves abandoned, abused and neglected animals throughout the greater Philadelphia area. Its programs include adoption and foster placement, veterinary and behavioral rehabilitation, humane education and community outreach. The organization works to secure positive, humane outcomes for animals in need while promoting responsible care throughout the community.

The donation connects PetPivot’s product-development priorities with Morris Animal Refuge’s long-standing commitment to high-quality animal care. It also establishes a foundation for PetPivot’s broader corporate social responsibility efforts as the company explores additional ways to bring smart-care solutions into shelters, rescues and adoption programs.

The Man Behind New York City’s Luxury Revival: How Ilya Zavolun Is Elevating the City’s Event Scene

NEW YORK, NYOnce a symbol of Manhattan’s architectural grandeur, Capitale is once again placing New York City at the forefront of luxury hospitality for a global audience.

Published

Once a symbol of Manhattan’s architectural grandeur, Capitale is once again placing New York City at the forefront of luxury hospitality for a global audience.

As the eyes of the world turned to New York City during the FIFA World Cup, one venue emerged as the defining symbol of the city’s return as the global capital of luxury hospitality. Capitale, the iconic landmark housed within the former Bowery Savings Bank at 130 Bowery, hosted FIFA’s prestigious gala dinner, welcoming world leaders, international dignitaries, and distinguished guests for an unforgettable evening that showcased New York at its absolute finest.

For hospitality entrepreneur and Capitale visionary Ilya Zavolun, the evening represented something much larger than a successful event—it marked a turning point for New York City.

 

2E27DEAE 2C11 4B81 BC09 5D46B80BCDCC The Man Behind New York City’s Luxury Revival: How Ilya Zavolun Is Elevating the City’s Event Scene

 

“Ask me what changed my mind about what this city is capable of, and I’ll point to this summer,” said Zavolun. “The world came to New York with genuine expectation, and when FIFA chose Capitale for its gala dinner, I watched guests from every corner of the globe experience something truly extraordinary. They weren’t simply impressed by the architecture—they felt they were somewhere that mattered.”

Housed inside one of Manhattan’s most celebrated architectural landmarks, Capitale combines historic grandeur with modern hospitality, offering an experience that few venues in the world can replicate. Rather than competing on convenience, Zavolun believes New York has an opportunity to once again become synonymous with elegance, craftsmanship, and unforgettable experiences.

“Somewhere along the way, New York started competing on convenience instead of grandeur,” Zavolun said. “This summer proved that the appetite for extraordinary experiences never disappeared. The world still wants New York to be magnificent. We simply stopped offering it. My mission isn’t about nostalgia—it’s about restoring the standard.”

The FIFA gala demonstrated the philosophy that has become the foundation of Capitale’s approach to hospitality: true luxury is found in intentionality.

“Capitale is more than a venue—it’s a piece of New York City’s history,” said Zavolun. “Our responsibility is to honor that legacy while creating experiences that feel timeless. True luxury isn’t measured by extravagance; it’s measured by how every guest feels the moment they walk through our doors. When people leave remembering how they were treated, not just what they attended, we’ve done our job.”

Every event hosted at Capitale is designed around the story each client wants to tell. Whether welcoming international organizations, corporate leaders, philanthropists, or families celebrating life’s most meaningful milestones, the venue emphasizes thoughtful curation over extravagance.

“True luxury isn’t about excess—it’s about intention,” Zavolun said. “Every event should have a purpose beyond celebration. When you understand the story you’re trying to tell, every element comes together to create an experience people remember long after the evening ends.”

Zavolun’s entrepreneurial journey spans decades, beginning with building and successfully selling a technology company before entering the hospitality industry. His experience taught him that exceptional venues are built not only through architecture but through people.

“Reputation compounds slowly and disappears quickly,” he said. “You earn it one event at a time. The building is remarkable, but it’s our team that creates the experience. Guests always know the difference between people who simply work somewhere and people who genuinely take pride in what they do.”’

Looking ahead, Zavolun believes New York has an extraordinary opportunity following the international attention generated this summer.

“The cameras may have moved on, but this is only the beginning,” he said. “I want people to return to New York not simply for business or sporting events, but because nowhere else in the world offers hospitality, culture, architecture, and elegance quite like this city. If we inspire a new generation of hospitality leaders to pursue excellence instead of convenience, everyone benefits.”

As New York continues welcoming international visitors, investors, and luxury travelers, Capitale remains at the forefront of a renewed movement toward timeless elegance, exceptional service, and world-class hospitality. Through landmark events and unforgettable guest experiences, the venue continues to demonstrate why New York remains one of the world’s premier destinations for luxury gatherings.

About Capitale

Located in the heart of Manhattan at 130 Bowery, Capitale is one of New York City’s most iconic luxury event venues, housed within the historic former Bowery Savings Bank. Renowned for its breathtaking architecture, soaring ceilings, marble interiors, and timeless elegance, Capitale serves as the backdrop for prestigious galas, corporate events, private celebrations, charity fundraisers, luxury weddings, and international gatherings. From hosting globally recognized organizations to welcoming distinguished guests from around the world, Capitale has earned a reputation for delivering exceptional hospitality and unforgettable experiences. With a commitment to excellence and meticulous attention to detail, Capitale continues to elevate New York City’s standing as a premier destination for luxury events on both the national and international stage.

Cosmopolitan Food Group Expands Packaged Olive Oil Export Focus

IZMIR, TürkiyeCosmopolitan Food Group, an international food company operating through Türkiye and the United States, announced an expanded focus on packaged olive oil exports as part of its broader international growth strategy.

Cosmopolitan Food Group, an international food company operating through Türkiye and the United States, announced an expanded focus on packaged olive oil exports as part of its broader international growth strategy. The company, led by chief executive officer Sinan Bozdağ, is directing resources toward branded, retail-ready olive oil in an effort to move Turkish-origin products beyond bulk commodity trade.

 

1786022181 0 sinan bozdag cosmopolitan ceo.jpg1 Cosmopolitan Food Group Expands Packaged Olive Oil Export Focus

 

The strategy centers on packaged olive oil, a category the company considers strategically important for Türkiye’s food industry because it allows producers to build higher value through branding, packaging and traceability rather than volume alone. Cosmopolitan Food Group supports this model through a portfolio of olive oil and Mediterranean food brands that includes Palermo, Papa Palermo, Casa di Oliva, Olivitaly and Cordelio.

Founded in the United States in 2009, Cosmopolitan Food Group initially concentrated on olive oil sales and distribution before developing a wider international supply structure. The group later expanded its operations in Türkiye, connecting sourcing, production and export activity with retail and foodservice demand abroad. That development reflects a growing role for Turkish companies in branded food exports, particularly in markets where Mediterranean products continue to gain shelf presence.

Under Bozdağ’s direction, the company has built an operating structure designed to support both brand ownership and distribution capability. Its United States operations provide access to retail and food-industry channels, while its Türkiye-based activity maintains close relationships with producers and suppliers. According to the company, this model helps position Turkish-origin products in international markets with an emphasis on consistency, packaging standards and long-term supply reliability.

“Packaged olive oil exports matter not only for company growth, but for the way Turkish food products are represented in international markets,” said Sinan Bozdağ, chief executive officer of Cosmopolitan Food Group. “The objective is to keep building reliable brands, disciplined supply systems and stronger visibility for Mediterranean products that originate from Tükiye.”

The company’s product range extends beyond olive oil to include balsamic vinegar, honey, salt and seasoning products, sun dried tomatoes, capers, sauces, olives, spreads and preserves. This breadth allows the group to serve different segments of the international grocery and foodservice market while keeping olive oil at the center of its export identity.

The company frames packaged exports as a way to keep more value within Türkiye’s food supply chain. Rather than shipping unbranded product for others to bottle and label abroad, branded exports keep packaging, quality control and brand equity closer to the producer. According to the company, this approach also supports more predictable demand planning for the suppliers it works with and a clearer link between production standards and the final product on the shelf.

The renewed focus also reflects a wider shift in the olive oil sector. As international buyers place more weight on origin, quality, packaging and brand identity, exporters are increasingly expected to offer more than volume based supply. For Turkish producers, the company notes, this creates an opportunity to compete through product presentation, retail readiness and brand recognition rather than price alone.

Türkiye is recognized as one of the major olive and olive oil producing countries in the Mediterranean region, yet the packaged export segment remains an area with room for further development.

By prioritizing branded exports, the company aims to support an approach in which Turkish origin products compete more visibly on international shelves. Further information on the company’s brand portfolio is available online.

Cosmopolitan Food Group stated that its continued focus will remain on expanding packaged food exports, strengthening supplier relationships and increasing brand recognition in global markets, combining Turkish sourcing capability with international sales and distribution experience. Additional background is available on the company website.
