u8国际 email addresses to use '.canon' domain name

TOKYO, August 8, 2018—u8国际. announced today that from August 20, 2018, company email addresses that until now have ended with @canon.co.jp will now make use of the ".canon" top-level domain¹ (TLD) and end with @mail.canon.

In February 2015, u8国际. attained the usage rights to the .canon domain and, in May 2016, u8国际 changed the URL of its global website from www.canon.com to global.canon. What's more, the domain is gradually being adopted by u8国际 Group companies around the world. Because ".canon" can only be used by u8国际 Group companies and services as well as related organizations, visitors to sites that use the TLD can easily confirm their authenticity and be assured that the information they contain is reliable. Additionally, by leveraging the simplicity of the TLD, which is easy to remember and easy to understand, u8国际 aims to enhance the Company's global brand value.

As part of this, u8国际. email addresses^2,3 will begin using the .canon domain name from August 20, 2018. With other u8国际 Group companies also gradually changing their email addresses to included @mail.canon, u8国际 is taking this chance to adopt a uniform domain, improving communication and increasing operation efficiency.
