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.

Optimized for Modern Living, Company’s New Fit & Max Refrigerators Deliver Stylish, User-Centric Design and Smart Performance to European Kitchens

SEOUL, South Korea, Aug. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — LG Electronics (LG) is unveiling its latest refrigerator lineup for the European market at IFA 2025. Designed to deliver top-tier energy efficiency, the new french door and bottom-freezer models have been developed specifically for Europe’s unique housing environments and consumer lifestyles, reflecting LG’s extensive research into local needs and preferences. The lineup combines energy-saving performance, smart features and space-efficient styling that integrates seamlessly into modern homes.

Outstanding Energy Efficiency

Responding to increased demand for energy-efficient appliances across Europe, LG is introducing models that meet – and significantly surpass – the European Union’s highest (“A”) energy rating. The new bottom-freezer model exceeds the requirement for the A rating, while the french door model has impressively earned an A rating, despite being in a category where such ratings are rare.

LG’s exceptional energy efficiency was made possible by its optimized insulation design tailored for the European market, as well as AI-based features that help reduce electricity consumption by learning household usage patterns and optimizing compressor operation during periods of low activity.

Fit & Max: Perfect Fit and Maximum Performance

Designed for Europe’s typically compact kitchens, the new lineup features LG’s Zero Clearance Hinge, enabling doors to open fully (up to 110 degrees) even when placed flush against a wall. Sleek exteriors with LG’s Premium Flat Door design create a refined, built-in look.

AI-powered features elevate convenience and efficiency to make every day easier and power bills more manageable. AI Fresh monitors your door-opening habits over three weeks and lowers the temperature in advance during peak times. This helps reduce sudden temperature changes when the door is opened, keeping food fresher for longer. AI Saving Mode analyzes use-behavior and intelligently adjusts cooling performance during low-usage periods, helping save energy.

Embodying LG’s MAX concept – maximizing space efficiency and food freshness – the lineup features a variety of storage solutions that enhance interior usability, including the Retractable Shelf for tall or bulky items, and generous interior capacity. Freshness technologies include Linear Cooling™ to minimize temperature fluctuations, Door Cooling+™ for fast, even cooling, and Fresh Converter+™ with customizable storage zones for meat, fish and vegetables.

New French Door Refrigerator Boasting Built-In Look, Practical Features

The new french door model presents LG’s first Thin Door design with both an ice and water dispenser, plus the installation flexibility of the Zero Clearance Hinge. The Ultra Slim In-Door Ice Maker saves storage space while delivering a steady supply of ice.

Interior enhancements include an optimized basket design that reduces the risk of bottles tipping over when opening or closing. Deeper shelves improve internal storage capacity, aligning with the needs of European lifestyles. Soft Closing Doors prevent slamming, ensuring smoother and quieter operation.

New Bottom-Freezer Designed for Flexibility

Designed to fit real European kitchen environments, the new bottom-freezer series offers a variety of sizes and capacities. Adjustable shelving and flexible compartments maximize usable space.

The Adjustable Shelf offers seven height settings, while the combination of Adjustable and Retractable Shelves allows for tailored organization. Additional accessories, such as the Movable Bucket, My Box and Mini Door Basket, can be repositioned for convenient access or to free up space for other items.

“LG’s new refrigerator lineup reflects a firm commitment to meaningful innovation, combining outstanding space and energy efficiency with designs that fit seamlessly into modern kitchens,” said Lyu Jae-cheol, president of the LG Home Appliance Solution Company. “We remain focused on developing user-centric technologies that enhance everyday convenience, simplify life at home, and have less impact on the planet.”

2,000 Brands, 8 International Pavilions
2-4 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.

YANTAI, China, Aug. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — RemeGen Co., Ltd. (Stock Code: 688331.SH/09995.HK, “RemeGen”), a leading Chinese biopharmaceutical company, announced today that it has entered into an agreement with Santen Pharmaceutical (China) Co., Ltd. (“Santen China“), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Santen Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Santen”). Under the agreement, Santen China has obtained exclusive rights to develop, manufacture, and commercialize RC28-E in Greater China (including Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan) as well as in South Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia. RemeGen will retain global exclusive rights to RC28-E outside these regions. RemeGen will receive upfront payment of RMB 250 million, development and regulatory milestone payments of up to RMB 520 million, and sales milestone payments of up to RMB 525 million. In addition, RemeGen will be entitled to tiered royalties based on net sales of the product in the licensed territories.

RC28-E is a VEGF/FGF dual-target fusion protein drug for ocular neovascular diseases, independently developed by RemeGen. On May 7, 2025, the Phase II clinical trial results of RC28-E for diabetic macular edema (DME) were presented as an oral report at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) 2025 Annual Meeting. The study demonstrated that RC28-E significantly improved best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and reduced central subfield thickness (CST), and was also well tolerated in patients with DME. In 2023, RemeGen initiated Phase III clinical trials for RC28-E in wet age-related macular degeneration (wAMD) and DME. RemeGen plans to submit a Biologics License Application (BLA) for the DME indication in China in the second half of 2025, followed by a BLA for wAMD in mid 2026.

Dr. Jianmin Fang, CEO of RemeGen, stated: “Santen brings over 130 years of expertise in ophthalmology and a robust global sales network spanning 60+ countries and regions. RC28-E, a Class 1 proprietary drug developed by RemeGen, is approaching the critical stage of BLA submission. We believe this collaboration will fully leverage the strengths of both parties to maximize the potential of RC28-E, providing innovative and effective solutions for retinal diseases.

We look forward to jointly advancing this breakthrough therapy with Santen to open a new chapter in eye care.”
