Pentax Company merges with Hoya Corporation

Recently I've head the peculiar confirmation about a difficult situation with the Pentax Company. Pentax Company announced about their merge with the Japanese Hoya Corporation. This agreement will be finally signed in April of 2007. After that, by October 2007 a new company HOYA PANTAX HD CORPORATION will be formed. Capitalization of the Hoya Company is two times bigger than Pentax. So, taking into consideration this fact, Hoya business will be taken the majority of attention. This company specializes in producing the equipment (glass substratum) for LCD panels and other LCD components, in producing optics and objective lenses for the home based and special purposes (setting, applications). Pentax Company, in its part, is a leading brand on the digital camera market, and is a serious objective lenses supplier for the SLR and general use optics, such as binoculars, glasses and more. The main Pentax customers are such companies as Casio and Sanyo. Pentax and Hoya integration will allow Pentax Company to get an access to one more customer and client widely known in the field of digital photo techniques – Sony Company.
