Tokyo – Japan Rubber Weekly (Gomu Hochi Shimbun) is launching an online edition in English today. This is the first time that a newspaper covering the Japanese rubber, tire and plastics industries makes its service available to international readers.
“Today marks a new chapter in our history. Globalization makes the world a smaller place. Local audiences become global audiences. We have served our industries locally for over 50 years. To continue serving them well, we believe now is the right time to start bringing our news to readers outside of Japan, too,” says Kunio Akiyama, president of Japan Rubber Weekly’s publisher Posty Corporation.
