Marfrig Records New Pieces with Celebrity Chef Salt Bae

Sep 20, 2021 | Business

 Marfrig, the global leader in the production of hamburgers and one of the largest beef companies in the world, is preparing a new advertising campaign for Bassi starring Turkish chef Nusret Gökçe, better known as Salt Bae. The guest, the company’s global ambassador and one of the world’s leading meat specialists, arrived in the country on September 1st and participated in the recordings for two days.

The chef stayed at a farm in Porto Feliz, São Paulo, where he recorded the advertising pieces for Marfrig, complying with all the protection protocols required in relation to covid-19. The action is part of the digital series called “Salt Father”, which is inspired by classic scenes from the trilogy that Salt Bae loves: “The Godfather – ”The Godfather”, in English. The new episodes should be released in 2021.

“ It’s always a great opportunity to work with chef Salt Bae. His unique way of preparing and serving meat conquers palates around the world and with us it was no different. We are going to bring a very special campaign, rich in details and that will please fans of a good cut,” says Leonardo Pereira, Marketing Director at Marfrig.

This is the second time that the Turkish chef comes to Brazil. In 2020, Salt Bae was in the country – also invited by Marfrig – and recorded two advertising videos for the company, in addition to visiting the Várzea Grande unit, in Mato Grosso.

With more than 37 million followers on social media, Salt Bae has become a celebrity for his unique way of salting the cuts and for receiving in his restaurants names like Neymar, Messi, Al Pacino, Leonardo DiCaprio and Madonna. The chef has been Marfrig’s global ambassador, since 2020, for the brands Bassi, Bassi Angus, Montana and Montana Steakhouse.

Calvin Ooi Shang How, Executive Director of Leon Fuat

Improved Revenue and Profit Margins

The gross profit recorded a 296.0% increase to RM53.34 million for 1Q2021 compared to the RM13.47 million in gross profit for the corresponding quarter of the previous financial year due to the 9.4 percentage points rise in gross profit margin for trading of steel products to 22.2% while gross profit margin for processing and/or manufacturing (collectively referred to as “processing”) of steel products increased by 16.4 percentage points to 26.8%.

Overall revenue increased by 76.2% to RM211.48 million in 1Q2021 compared to the RM120.04 million in the corresponding quarter of the previous financial year. On a segmental basis, revenue from trading of steel products increased by 87.5% to RM74.29 million for the quarter under review while revenue from processing of steel products increased by 70.7% to RM137.11 million. The trading segment share of revenue contribution stood at 35.1% in the quarter under review while the processing segment’s share of revenue contribution stood at 64.8%.

Rising Steel Prices Worldwide Due To Global Demand

Calvin Ooi Shang How, Executive Director of Leon Fuat said: “We are pleased to be able to achieve such favourable result this quarter. Steel prices have been advancing worldwide since the second half of 2020 on the expectations of an improving global economic outlook. There is a global steel boom underscored by strong demand with prices rising to a multi-year high. Nevertheless, while steel prices show no sign of coming off anytime soon, we are cautious, both for the outlook on prices and the economy as the COVID-19 pandemic shows no sign of abating.”

“Given the uncertainties surrounding the pandemic, much will continue to depend on how well key economies around the world can recover and the effect this will have on steel demand and prices. Volatile commodity and crude oil prices will continue to have an impact on the ringgit, with these factors affecting the profitability of our steel products given that most of these products are sourced from overseas. We aim to strive for sustainable growth and will continue to monitor steel prices as well as related foreign currencies and will take proactive measures including negotiating forward contracts, prudent inventory management and cost-management to mitigate any negative impact.”

“We have and will continue to actively address all concerns relating to COVID-19 in regards to our employees and the business operations. This is on top of adhering to all MCO regulations and other standard operating procedures from the National Security Council. The Group has in place emergency response teams (“ERT”) in three of its subsidiaries and is considering a group-wide ERT.”

Leon Fuat recently completed a private placement exercise where funds raised will be invested into business expansion and purchase of new machineries to meet customer’s orders. As of today, Leon Fuat’s share price closed at RM1.06 with a market capitalisation of RM361.46 million.

Easy Star Records and Kala Brand Music First U•Bass® to Jamaica’s Harry J Studio

Feb 24, 2021 | Business

In preparation for Black History Month and Reggae Month, Kala Brand Music and Easy Star Records teamed up this year to deliver the first Kala U•BASS® and ukuleles to Harry J Studio in Kingston, culminating in an original acoustic arrangement of “Redemption Song” performed by four Jamaican studio musicians assembled under the Easy Star Records banner. The full performance will premiere on YouTube on Wednesday, February 24th at 12PM EST (linked below).

Easy Star Records brought together the four musicians featured in the performance include Hector Lewis on the Cajón, Jerome “Spangy” Small on the U•BASS®, and both Nico Groskopf and Monty Savory on the tenor ukulele. This video marks the first occasion that these four prolific Jamaican session musicians have directly collaborated. Individually, they record and perform with the likes of Koffee, Protoje, Jesse Royal, Lila Iké, Sevana, and a myriad of other contemporary Reggae icons.

The performance was filmed entirely in Kingston’s Harry J Studio, organized and captured by studio manager Tara Johnson. With the help of Harry J Studios and Easy Star Records, Kala Brand Music was able to get Jamaica’s first ever U•BASSES® delivered to Kingston in January 2021. In the months since, influential session bassists like Danny Bassie, Jerome “Spangy” Small, Ziah Push, Adrian “Jerks” Henry have gravitated and began creating on the instrument. One U•BASS® will also permanently live in Harry J Studio for all future recording artists to use.

Kala will be giving away 2 ukulele models featured in this video via their Instagram page. The winner will be announced on March 1, 2021. Details and how to enter here! 

Tara Johnson on “Redemption Song:” “It is a song that has transcended geographical borders & is relatable to all people who have struggled or are struggling with oppression or challenging times. It reminds us that no matter the gravity of the situation, ‘redemption’ will come. And we hope that in this current global crisis we could remind the world of that fact through ‘Redemption Song.’”

Tara Johnson on Harry J Studio: “The legendary Harry J Recording Studio opened its doors in the 1970’s and became the benchmark for quality music production through the advanced technology that was utilized. During its heyday, the studio possessed one of five, 16 track recording boards in the world.”

Jerome “Spangy” Small on the U•BASS®: “Bass and low-end is so important and crucial for reggae music. I was really impressed with the pre-amps used on the U-Bass. They do a really amazing job cutting through the mix. More than anything, it was really fun to play.”
