Mixed cat litter brand ZuttoNyan -- a lifelong companion for pets -- to enter Japanese market
TOKYO, Aug. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In 2025, Japan's pet care market will welcome a warm and heartfelt new entrant — the hybrid cat litter brand ZuttoNyan. A Brand Name with Deep Meaning: Love That Lasts Forever The name ZuttoNyan is derived from Japanese, where "Zutto" means "forever," and "Nyan" is the onomatopoeic sound of a cat's meow. It represents the brand's heartfelt aspiration to provide lifelong companionship and symbolizes its unwavering love and responsibility toward pets. At ZuttoNyan, pets are seen not just as companions but as cherished family members deserving lifelong care. This belief runs through the brand's DNA — from product development to brand philosophy — with a commitment to long-term companionship. From products to companionship, safeguarding pets throughout their entire lifecycle In ZuttoNyan's brand culture, technology is not a cold tool — it's a bridge that delivers warmth. The general manager, Gai Xiaoliang, said:"We aim to address real challenges in pet care through every product we create — making life easier for owners and healthier for pets. 'Being a lifelong companion to pets' is not just a slogan, but a long-term promise embedded in our product development and service experience." Addressing user pain points to enhance the pet ownership experience Through in-depth research, ZuttoNyan identified common issues with traditional cat litter: poor clumping, excessive dust — all of which diminish the pet care experience. In response, ZuttoNyan developed a line of hybrid cat litters under the concept of "scientific formulation to optimize the pet care experience." Combining natural ingredients with advanced technology, the brand launched two core product lines: Tofu Hybrid Cat Litter and Cassava Hybrid Cat Litter. These litters are designed to align with feline instincts and offer quick absorption, strong deodorizing capabilities, minimal dust, and non-stick performance. Additionally, their flushable design streamlines the cleaning process, showcasing the brand's pursuit of convenience and sustainability in harmony. Though cat litter may seem like a small part of pet ownership, for ZuttoNyan, it marks the first step toward fulfilling its promise of holistic care. Looking ahead, ZuttoNyan will continue to focus on pet health, developing more innovative solutions to common pet care challenges — truly becoming a "lifelong companion" for pets and their owners.

OGA SET TO RETURN WITH HIGH-ENERGY 21ST EDITION AND SOLD-OUT BUSINESS EXHIBITION
2,000 Brands, 8 International Pavilions2-4 Sept 2025 KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Aug. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- After a record-breaking edition last year that witnessed a 29% growth in attendees, Oil & Gas Asia (OGA) returns for its 21st show and will power up a sold-out business floor, hosting a large community of global industry professionals converging at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre from Sept 2 to 4. As Southeast Asia's premier platform for oil, gas, energy, and petrochemicals, OGA continues to drive business growth, facilitate high-value partnerships, and provide critical market intelligence on the trends and technologies influencing industry demand. This sustained industry demand reinforces OGA's position as the region's definitive meeting point for the ecosystem - where influential leaders and innovators from across the globe converge to exchange fresh perspectives, forge strategic investments, and shape the next chapter of Southeast Asia's energy future. Organised by Informa Markets Malaysia, OGA will welcome 2,000 local and international brands and companies in seven halls, spanning 20,000 sqm under the theme "Powering Progress, Shaping Tomorrow". The show opens amid a surge of commitments to accelerate Southeast Asia's energy ecosystem in an inclusive and sustainable way, as Malaysia assumes the Chair of ASEAN this year. Key initiatives on the agenda include fast-tracking the ASEAN Power Grid, expanding renewable energy adoption, and implementing a new regional energy cooperation action plan for the next five years. ASEAN, a rising global economic powerhouse, is on track to contribute 25% of the world's energy demand growth. The region's offshore gas market alone is forecast to reach US$100 billion, driven by US$30 billion in investments from 2024 to 2025, with Malaysia and Indonesia spearheading this expansion. Against this backdrop, OGA 2025 will present a dynamic trade exhibition featuring eight international pavilions, the SPEAK OGA knowledge exchange platform, the newly launched OGA Event Ambassadors initiative, and a series of high-impact partner programmes - bringing together the region's energy community, from policy-makers and industry leaders to SMEs, innovators, and future talent. Sponsors and exhibitors include EPIC Berhad, Steel Hawk Berhad, Kuwait Foreign Petroleum Exploration Company (KUFPEC), Ingersoll Rand, Deep Manufacturing, Zecchin, Airscope Industries, Honeywell International, Ebara Elliot Energy, Sedia Teguh, Hidrokinetik Group, Tuah Energy, Helms Geomarine, Rembe and SJP Sealing Technology. A cluster of local OGSE companies will come under one umbrella at the MOGSC Pavilion organised by the Malaysian Oil, Gas and Energy Services Council (MOGSC) to showcase local technology and innovation capabilities to the world and to nurture international collaborations. OGA Event Ambassadors will leverage the OGA platform including online presence, to demonstrate industry leadership and brands they represent. Drawn from diverse backgrounds, the ambassadors will engage attendees on a deeper level to share their professional experience and expertise. To date, prominent personalities from digital solutions and services provider, Malaysian Oil, Gas & Energy Engineering Council (MOGEC), Malaysian Oil, Gas and Energy Services Council (MOGSC) and EDMS Consultants Sdn Bhd, have been tapped as event ambassadors. Back to energise minds is SPEAK OGA, one of the show's most engaging knowledge-sharing platforms. Over the past three years, thousands have gathered at these free-to-attend sessions on the exhibition floor to gain candid, practical insights on current industry priorities - from best practices and operational efficiency to transformation drivers, digitalisation, Industry 4.0, and talent development. SPEAK OGA this year also highlights Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) through programmes led by Malaysian Women in Energy (MyWiE), TalentCorp, and Project Girls4Girls (G4G). MyWiE, in collaboration with G4G, will host a panel discussion titled "Beyond the Energy Bubble: Inclusive Leadership Across Industries," aimed at encouraging proactive engagement in D&I initiatives. Additionally, TalentCorp is partnering with G4G to organise a three-day mentorship programme designed to empower young women, helping them build the confidence to pursue careers in a male-dominated sector and cultivate the leaders of tomorrow. To further support the development of young talent, OGA and Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP) are co-organising a Paper Competition. The final evaluation will provide outstanding students the opportunity to showcase their research projects to industry representatives during OGA. This initiative aims to strengthen relationships between academia and industry while fostering the growth of innovative ideas from educational institutions. OGA is the flagship event under the Informa Markets Energy Series that includes ENERtec Asia in Kuala Lumpur, International Energy Week (IEW) in Sarawak and East Coast Energy (ECE) in Terengganu. Informa Energy Series is designed to shape the ecosystem for a sustainable energy future. "Our fundamental goal is to partner with the entire energy industry to facilitate continued business growth and impact. We are excited to play a role in advancing the industry. OGA can only grow in importance to bring together the solutions and ideas that will help shape tomorrow. The response this year is a clear signal that the industry is eager to participate in transformation and highlights the choice of OGA as an enabler of the change," said Informa Markets Malaysia Chairman Tan Sri Abdul Rahman Mamat.
