The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) submitted an inquiry to the Information and Communications and Posts Administrative Council (chaired by AIDA Hitoshi, former professor at the Graduate School of Engineering, University of Tokyo) concerning permission for the following applicants: (1) Gintech Corporation (headed by NAGAI Hiroki, Representative Director) and two other parties to engage in special mail business and establish correspondence mail management regulations. (2) SPINA Co., Ltd. (headed by NOZAKI Takahide, President and Representative Director) to change its correspondence mail management regulations. A reply was received from the Council stating its approval as inquired.
In response to the report, MIC granted permission and approval to the applicants today.

With the permission given to the three applicants, including Gintech Corporation, the number of special mail business licensees reached 584. Special mail businesses are positioned as businesses that provide various services by responding to the needs of sophisticated and diversifying users and making creative efforts. These business operators are expected to enter the mail service industry to increase users’ selection range of services.
