In August 2003, Konica Corporation and Minolta Co., Ltd. inte-
grated their respective managements and established a holding
company, Konica Minolta Holdings, Inc., founded on the concept
of creating an entirely new corporate group.
The new integrated company is seeking to maximize corporate
value by adopting portfolio-based strategies in the fields of busi-
ness technologies, optics, photo imaging, medical and graphic
imaging, and sensing. We are also actively working to cultivate
new business domains through the integration of our core tech-
nologies.
Driven by its corporate message “The essentials of imaging,”
the new corporate group plans to take the lead in delivering inno-
vative products and services that continue to create impressions in
the field of imaging, address the needs of the era, and meet the
expectations of stakeholders.
