Brastel Launches Its 30th Anniversary Countdown, Celebrating a Year of Connection and Growth

Tokyo, Japan — January 6, 2026 — Brastel has officially launched its 30th anniversary countdown, marking the beginning of a year-long celebration leading up to three decades of connecting people, cultures, and communities. Founded on December 2, 1996, Brastel will commemorate its 30th anniversary through a series of initiatives and communications throughout the year.

As the countdown begins, Brastel reflects on its journey as a trusted provider of telecommunications, international remittances, and digital services for the foreign community in Japan. Over the past three decades, the company has remained committed to making cross-border communication and financial services more accessible, reliable, and user-friendly.

A Year-Long Celebration of Multicultural Connections

Throughout the year, Brastel will highlight its multicultural roots, its evolution alongside changing technologies, and the everyday connections it has supported for customers living global lives.

With a diverse, multilingual workforce and a deep understanding of cross-cultural needs, Brastel has continued to grow while staying close to its original mission: helping people stay connected, no matter where they are.

Honoring the Past, Looking Toward the Future

As part of the countdown, Brastel will introduce commemorative initiatives, visual elements, and special communications that reflect its history while setting the stage for the future. These efforts underscore the company’s long-term vision to continue innovating and supporting global communities in an increasingly interconnected world.

The countdown year serves both as a reflection on 30 years of trust and partnership, and as a bridge toward Brastel’s next chapter.
