Myers Industries, Inc. (NYSE: MYE), a leading manufacturer of Products that Protect™, today announced that its Scepter business has launched production of military ammunition containers in Europe through Scepter International Poland sp z o.o.

ARIS, the process context platform enabling enterprise AI deployment, today announced its recognition as a Leader in the inaugural Gartner Magic Quadrant for Digital Twin of An Organization (DTO) Platforms – where it believes agentic AI, autonomous workflows, and enterprise governance converge.

"Enterprises are rightfully ambitious about agentic AI and autonomous workflows," said Guillaume Bacuvier, CEO of ARIS. "But they're discove
