From Okaya, the origin of optical technology, to the world again

The land of Okaya, Nagano Prefecture is a historic area that has nurtured optical and precision technology for about 80 years since our predecessor, Olympus, entered the market in 1943. On the opening of this facility, CEO Sugimoto said, "Okaya is the origin of our optical technology, and we hope to cultivate a 'Lens Valley' where people and technology can once again gather and transmit value to the world."

Improving on-site capabilities: Manufacturing at the Okaya Plant

At the Okaya Plant, we will work closely with Hachioji's optical design department to refine our technology and give shape to the optical value unique to OM Digital Solutions. These on-site initiatives will not only improve product quality, but also lead to increased production capacity through daily improvements.
