Rental Nikken's Generous Contribution to Ashikaga City

On September 7, 2026, Rental Nikken, headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, made a significant impact by donating critical resources to Ashikaga City, the birthplace of the company. Utilizing Japan's corporate hometown tax program, the company contributed 50 freezers for heatstroke prevention and two baby care rooms, known as "mamaro™" and "mamaro solana™," to support local initiatives aimed at helping children thrive.

The donation was aligned with Ashikaga City's projects focused on fostering an environment where children can grow up healthily and happily. This initiative culminated in a ceremony held at the Ashikaga City Hall on September 4, 2026, where Rental Nikken was honored with a certificate of appreciation for their generous contributions.



Founded in 1967, Rental Nikken celebrates 59 years in operation this year. Earlier in March, the company strengthened its ties with Ashikaga City through various collaborations, including support for introducing toilet cars and establishing emergency assistance agreements. These initiatives reflect the company's commitment to the local community aligned with its anniversary celebrations.

During discussions with local officials, Rental Nikken identified crucial needs such as encouraging students to utilize neck coolers on their way to and from school and improving childcare facilities for activities like breastfeeding and diaper changing. To address these needs, the company decided to donate 50 heatstroke prevention freezers and two baby care rooms.

The freezers come with unique designs featuring Rental Nikken's original characters, "Share" and "Cure," alongside Ashikaga City's mascot, "Taka-uji-kun." Additionally, the baby care rooms have been designed to showcase these characters alongside illustrations of construction machinery that symbolize the company's core business.
