Minelab Premieres the VANQUISH 60 Series: Simple Yet Powerful

LONDON, Sept. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Minelab officially unveiled the new VANQUISH 60 Series on 11 September 2025 at a press event held at the remarkable National Gallery Museum in London. The exclusive launch welcomed media representatives, Minelab dealers, and invited guests to witness the first presentation of the new detectors.

The event featured a special speech by Helen Skelton, who shared her personal experiences in the field of adventure and discovery, highlighting the excitement and accessibility of metal detecting. Minelab President Ben Harvey addressed the audience with the company's vision and innovation journey, while Minelab General Manager Engineering Mark Lawrie provided a live demonstration of the VANQUISH 60 Series, showcasing its advanced features and performance.

Following the premiere, Minelab brought the VANQUISH 60 Series to the wider detecting community at Detectival 2025 on 13 September. At the Minelab booth, visitors tested the full VANQUISH range, participated in Minelab University sessions with engineers and Detexperts, and connected directly with the brand.

Accessible Technology for All

Designed for those starting their journey in metal detecting while seeking professional performance, the VANQUISH 60 Series introduces versatile, lightweight models at a starting retail price of USD $249.00. This new generation delivers premium Minelab technology crafted to redefine expectations in entry-level detectors.

The first-generation VANQUISH Series has already been recognised for transforming what newcomers can expect from a detector. With technology traditionally reserved for higher-end models, VANQUISH opened a new category in the hobby, offering advanced features at an approachable level.

"When we launched the VANQUISH 40 Series six years ago, it was a game changer for entry-level detecting, becoming one of our most successful global product lines," said Jeff Augustine, Minelab's Global Vice President of Marketing. "With the new VANQUISH 60 Series, a new era begins. We've taken everything that made VANQUISH a success and elevated it further. Our expectations are not just to match that success, but to double it, bringing more people into the detecting community than ever before."

Minelab Premieres the VANQUISH 60 Series: Simple Yet Powerful

SINGAPORE, Jan. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Kerry, a global leader in taste and nutrition, today unveiled its 2026 Global Taste Charts, providing the food and beverage industry with its most comprehensive and forward‑looking view of flavour evolution. Built on research from more than 1,200 scientists, 100 flavourists and extensive consumer studies across regions, the Charts offer manufacturers a data‑driven roadmap for fast‑moving flavour trends.

This year's edition expands from six to eight categories: Refreshing Beverages; Alcohol & Alcohol‑Inspired Drinks; Tea, Coffee & Cocoa; Savoury Snacks; Sweet; Soups & Dressings; Meat & Meals; and Supplements, capturing the growing interplay between indulgence and wellness, global inspiration and local identity.

Flavour Trends Across Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa (APMEA)

The Rise of "Swicy"
Sweet‑and‑spicy combinations are surging, especially among Gen Z. Southeast Asia sees spicy fruit drinks and chilli‑laced confectionery, while South Africa showcases sweet‑chilli sauces, hot honey snacks and spicy tomato crisps.

Nuanced Heat & Global‑Local Blends
Greater Africa embraces paprika‑driven blends in snacks, sauces and grilled meats. In Australia and New Zealand, fajita spice is emerging as a fast‑growing favourite in meal kits, marinated meats and savoury snacks.

Fruit‑Forward Refreshment:
Watermelon continues leading beverage innovation across Southeast Asia and Africa. Meanwhile, mandarin is the fastest‑growing citrus flavour in Australia and New Zealand, expanding into alcoholic, alcohol‑inspired, tea and coffee formats.

Tradition Reworked
Traditional flavours are being reimagined in modern applications, from nasi uduk cheesecake and avocado brownie ice cream in Southeast Asia, to date mustard, za'atar ice cream and camel milk pistachio iced coffee in the Middle East.

Micro Moments of Indulgence
Bite‑sized, convenient treats are growing across the Middle East and South Africa, from chilli‑lemon snacks and energy balls to mini puddings and ready‑to‑cook proteins.

Healing & Functional Flavours
China continues blending Eastern and Western wellness traditions, incorporating turmeric, astragalus, aged tangerine peel, spirulina and açai into beverages, dairy and snacks.

Maximalist & Botanical Profiles:
Rich, extra‑strong milk teas, intensified matcha and cocoa, and decadent chocolate‑forward launches are rising in China and the Middle East, alongside botanicals such as orange blossom, hibiscus, rooibos and elderflower in South Africa and Asia Pacific.

Turning Insight into Action

The 2026 Taste Charts are supported by KerryNow™, Kerry's end‑to‑end digital platform that allows customers to instantly order samples, explore the flavour portfolio and receive application and regulatory support, empowering faster innovation from concept to launch.

"The 2026 Taste Charts reflect how consumers are eating and drinking today, seeking contrast, comfort, depth and meaning in flavour," said Leigh Anne Vaughan, Vice President of Product Technologies, Kerry. "It brings together sensory science, cultural understanding and real consumption data to show where flavours are gaining momentum and how they're being expressed locally. By connecting these insights with practical application support and rapid sampling through KerryNow™, we're helping our customers move more confidently from idea to product and keep pace with how quickly tastes are changing."
