NALNET Communications Inc. (Headquarters: Kasugai City, Aichi Prefecture; President: Takashi Suzuki; hereinafter 'NALNET Communications' or 'the Company') announces the publication of 'Maintenance and Parts: Tsunagi' (hereinafter 'Tsunagi'), a free paper targeted at companies involved in auto maintenance.
'Tsunagi' is a publication that provides the 'commitments' of companies involved in auto maintenance to auto repair shops nationwide in print form. The paper is distributed not only to NALNET's affiliated repair shops but also through the companies interviewed, reaching repair shops all over the country.
In the inaugural issue published in September 2025, we featured engine oil filters with the cooperation of Toyota Mobility Parts Co., Ltd.
The second issue, published this month with pages doubled to 8, features an interview with Toyota Mobility Parts Co., Ltd. again, highlighting air conditioner cleaning agents (evaporator cleaners), which see increased demand towards the summer. In addition, addressing the heavy burden of labor shortages in the maintenance industry, we interviewed Doi Auto Industry Co., Ltd. in Hyogo Prefecture and JJS Corporation, a foreign human resources placement business, about the realities of hiring foreign workers.
NALNET Communications has been operating the social WEB media for auto maintenance, 'Mobinowa', since 2023. Meanwhile, 'Tsunagi', which began publication in 2025, deliberately focuses on distribution in a 'print' format, delivering maintenance-related information broadly even to demographics that cannot be reached by WEB alone.
