Overview
D uring the year, we focused on expanding sales of light color,
object color, and 3D measurement systems. In Europe and the
United States, at the same time, we reviewed our sales
structures and bolstered profitability.
We strove to expand sales in each mainstay fields, launching
the Spectroradiometer CS-2000, the Spectrophotometer
CM-700d/600d, and the KONICA MINOLTA RANGE7 3D digitizer.
Sales were lackluster in each of these areas, however, as a rapid
downturn in the global economy forced automotive and electrical
equipment manufacturers to constrain capital spending.
Segment sales therefore decreased 15.3%, to ¥8.4 billion.
Operating income was down 71.4%, to ¥0.3 billion.
Outlook
W e expect companies to keep curtailing capital investments for
the foreseeable future. We will thus focus on driving sales on
the strength of medical and food sector offerings that are less
vulnerable to economic swings while cultivating fields with solid
growth potential, notably LED lighting and solar cell evaluation.
At the same time, we will strive to expand by combining our
sensing technology strengths with the Group’s core
technological capabilities.
