Since our establishment in 1917, Nikon Corporation has been a
leading pioneer in optical glass manufacturing technology in Japan,
in turn achieving proven recognition for a wide range of high-quality
optical equipment.
In addition to our distinctive lineup of premier single lens reflex
(SLR) cameras, the Company manufactures a diverse range of
industrial instruments, including steppers and other semiconductor
manufacturing-related equipment, microscopes and measuring
instruments. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999, the share of
these industrial instruments accounted for 54.5% of total net sales.
Integrating our core technology of
“
micro and optics” with
systems and electronics, Nikon will continue to strive to meet the
diverse and changing needs of consumers and industries globally in
the coming 21st century.
