SINGAPORE, April 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rectitude Holdings Ltd. (Nasdaq: RECT; the “Company” or “Rectitude”), a Singapore-based provider of safety equipment and related industrial products, today announced that it has secured more than S$10 million in rental and sales contract orders during the second half of fiscal year 2026. This performance reflects surging demand for the Company’s All-in-One Intelligence Micro-Grid System (“AIMS”) and underscores Rectitude’s successful pivot into the high-growth green energy sector, as well as its strategic collaboration with Vantage Equipment & Services Pte Ltd and Agentis Intelligence Pte Ltd. to drive the expansion of green energy solutions.

The Company has observed a significant acceleration in order volume for AIMS in recent months and expects this strong momentum may continue throughout the remainder of the year. This growth is aligned with the projections from the Building and Construction Authority (BCA), which expects Singapore’s construction contracts to rise to as much as SGD$53 billion this year.

The AIMS is Rectitude’s flagship green energy solution launched in November 2024. Designed as a next generation, mobile energy storage system, AIMS integrates intelligent energy management to monitor demand, battery charge, and power inputs, managing power from both renewable sources and traditional diesel generators. Positioned as a versatile green energy solution for both on-grid and off-grid applications, AIMS is increasingly utilized in construction and large-scale industrial sectors. By providing an efficient power source, AIMS helps industrial clients reduce their carbon footprint while ensuring a stable power supply for critical operations such as tower cranes and passenger hoists.

"The strong demand we are seeing for AIMS is a direct result of several converging factors,” said Jian Zhang, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and Executive Director at Rectitude. “Our growth is driven by robust construction activity across the public and private sectors in Singapore and further bolstered by Singapore government’s pro–green energy policies, guided by the Singapore Green Plan 2030. Furthermore, as geopolitical tensions in the Middle East continue to contribute to elevated oil prices, industrial players are increasingly seeking cost-effective, sustainable alternatives. Rectitude is well-positioned to meet this demand with our advanced AIMS technology.”
