OM Digital Solutions Corporation has opened a new manufacturing base, the Okaya Manufacturing Site, in Okaya City, Nagano Prefecture, Japan. This business site will play an important role in supporting future business growth and the development of optical technology as a base that connects our core optical technology and manufacturing to the next generation.
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.
Towards a "Lens Valley" where people grow and technology connects
OM Optical Precision Katada, head of the business unit, said, "This base is not only a place to hone skills, but also a place to develop people.
OM Digital Solutions aims to realize the concept of "Lens Valley," a hub for the optical industry, while valuing manufacturing that moves together with the local community, with the Okaya Plant at its core.
As a base where people and technology gather and pass on to the next generation, we will transmit new value from Okaya to the world.
