UHU DRIVES THE MARKET WITH INNOVATIVE PRODUCTS FOR CREATIVITY AND EVERYDAY SOLVING ESSENTIALS

Faber-Castell Malaysia has recently introduced UHU’s latest innovative products, with each targeting at a specific usage and target market. With its latest expansion into the extreme repair adhesive product category, UHU now commands a significant market share in the Malaysian retail adhesive market.

“UHU strives in producing innovative products through continuous research and development since the 1930s. Since then, the brand has remained as the glue innovator and expert in the retail adhesive market because of the quality as well as innovative products it produces,” said Mr Andrew Woon, Managing Director of Faber-Castell Malaysia.


Among new UHU products to look out for at stores starting November 2019 would include the UHU Stic Magic Blue and the Limited-Edition PETS 2. Meanwhile, the UHU Max Repair for extreme repairs, Super Glue Ultra-Fast Control and the Super Glue Mini for a one-time use will be available in stores from March 2020.

A more detailed description for each product is as seen below:

UHU Stic Magic Blue (8.2g – RM4.70, 21g – RM8.90)
With a magical disappearing colour formula developed by UHU, a blue tinge is seen upon application but the colour disappears in a few seconds. This formula makes glue application more precise with the blue tinge as a visual guide. This product is suitable especially for children who will be amazed with the disappearing colour formula. The Magic Blue is ideal for gluing paper, cardboard, photos, Styrofoam, labels, textiles and more. A solvent free glue formula with 98% natural ingredients, this product is easily washed off with cold water and it is safe for children too.





UHU Stic The Secret Life of PETS 2 - Limited Edition (8.2g – RM4.40, 21g – RM8.70)
A must-have in offices, classrooms and at home – the popular UHU Stic is now available in a series of eight ‘The Secret Life of PETS 2’ limited edition designs which makes them ideal as collectibles. Gidget, Max, Cute Snowball, Chloe, Duke, Mel, Pickles and Sweet Pea are among characters featured in this limited-edition design of the UHU Stic.


UHU Max Repair Extreme (8g, RM18.90)
The UHU Max Repair Extreme is an extremely strong adhesive which makes it ideal for major repairs around the house, shoes or any broken items. It is an all-rounder that can handle any kind of gluing job and the result is resistance to shock, temperature, UV and it is also dishwasher safe.


UHU Super Glue Ultra-Fast Control (3g, RM7.90)
The new UHU Super Glue Ultra-Fast Control features its unique Direct-Stop Technology and improved adhesive formula. So, no more dirty fingers, no more spilling and no more uncontrolled adhesive flows. The special inlay in the tube exerts counter-pressure which causes the tube to veer back into its original shape when it meets light pressure, creating a suck-back effect. With improved adhesive formula, the Super Glue Ultra-Fast Control becomes the new adhesive shelf standard, bringing all the following advantages together in a single product.


The original UHU Super Glue now also has a 1g (1g pack of 3, RM10.90) mini variant for one-time use repairs on the go, anywhere, anytime!


UHU products are sold at major stationery stores, hardware stores and convenient stores nationwide as well as e-commerce platforms such as shopee.com.my and lazada.com.my.

2020 year can still wear white shoes

Good day to dear readers and visitors of my blog. Everyone has got busy lifestyle and there's time that we need to pay attention to our children. Especially a mother, you probably know how tough it is juggling your different responsiblities at work and at home.

Coming towards end of the year soon and we as parents we know that we got to shop new shoes for our children. Sharing is caring, I always want to choose the best for my sons. Therefore important for me choose the school shoes that are light weight and COMFORT to wear. Our children are growing, not just their body, their mind but also their little feet too. Important that we find suitable shoes for them to wear, as you know next year is 2020. Children can still wear White Shoes for year 2020 and it's still my first choice to choose white shoes because I find it more hygiene compare to Black shoes. Next year is the final year of wearing white shoes and my sons too agree to wear for the last year.

My children Sean is gonna be 14 years old, that's FORM 2 next year while his little brother gonna be Standard 3 next year. Sharing is caring, Sean's little brother is wearing shoes model 307-0164 W, which is Extra Light Weight!

Wow2wee website has variety of school shoes, white colors win my heart as white shoes hygiene, reduce the risk of mosquitoes bites, and gives the heat dispersion. When my son's shoes get wet, they are easily dry up too!

As for Sean who is Form 2 next year, he knows that everyone in school most of them are wearing shoes with laces. You can see the photo of shoes below, these are shoes model 307-196W.

The Velcro type available and also the Pallas Jass Star Low Cut Shoe Lace, the shoes rubber insole for better rebound (insole not easy to collapse), it is more comfy and it has New fitting (broader fitting). Don't worry if you are thinking that your son might not fit in, they have sizes up to #13. Sean's wearing the size of #11. I must say I understand that it's not easy to find big size shoes, especially for children who are growing up. Whenever I found the suitable shoes for my children, I would stock up a few pairs. Rain or shine we know that children need to wear their school shoes to school.

Don't worry if you thinking about their sizes and whether the shoes fit or not.

The IPC Tack Club
From the humble beginnings when Mutiara Damansara was still an up-and-coming hot spot, the neighbourhood shopping centre has diversified into more than just a shopping destination for the community. It has evolved into an inspirational space for all walks of life to meet, shop, dine, learn and create happy memories together.


This year, in conjunction with its 16th anniversary, IPC Shopping Centre will be extending its relationship with its partners and shoppers through its new loyalty programme called the IPC Tack Club, for shoppers to enjoy so much more rewards and perks from the shopping centre.

“When we adopted the concept ‘So Much More’, we committed ourselves to create market-relevant shopping experiences that fit our consumers' lifestyles. We do this by consistently identifying opportunities to improve the customer journey through new trends that reflect a well-curated mix of retail and dining concepts, as well as a personalised shopping experience. We understand how consumers have become accustomed to digital self-service through their experiences with mobile apps and online retailing. For a loyalty program, offering the ability to accrue, track and redeem rewards or perks in real-time is no longer a distinction — it's an expectation” said Karyn Lim, General Manager of IPC Shopping Centre.


‘Tack’ which means ‘Thank You’ in Swedish will offer customers with perks and rewards for each purchase at the shopping centre. The program will further extend IPC’s successful digital capabilities, following the success of the award-winning Mood Menu feature - to play an active role in shaping shopper’s experience before and after their visits.


She further explained, “From picking up groceries to shopping for clothes, or to a meal at one of the dining outlets here, The IPC Tack Club will allow customers to make the most from their relationship with IPC Shopping Centre. The programme is fuelled with our commitment towards customer experience and will enable us to further sharpen our ability to provide a seamless offering to each one of our customers.


The data-driven loyalty program will officially be available on IPC Shopping Centre’s mobile app on 2 December 2019. The fully digitised programme will require a one-time registration in the mobile app to recognise every membership. Shoppers will only need to scan their digital membership code on the mobile app in future to enjoy gifts with purchase at lower spend.


The new feature will also integrate IPC Små Club for kids, where existing members can renew their membership for free on the app itself.


With so much more than just festive décor, shoppers will also be rewarded with perks during the festive season from now until 1st January 2020: -
