Comment: I did a quick search and the company is likely notable. However, it needs a lot of cleanup as it reads very promotional. "Financial performance," " recent developments," etc. read like the company itself wrote the draft. I would recommend cleaning up everything from a WP:NPOV and call out the WP:THREE to make it easier for reviewers. CNMall41 (talk) 20:26, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
