Since our establishment in 1917, Nikon Corporation has been
a leading pioneer in optical glass manufacturing in Japan,
achieving worldwide recognition for an extensive range of high-quality optical
equipment. In addition to our unique lineup of conventional film and digital cameras,
Nikon manufactures a diverse range of industrial instruments, including steppers
and other semiconductor manufacturing-related equipment, microscopes and
measuring instruments.
In response to the rapidly changing environment and the demands of the modern
age, Nikon has introduced a new in-house company system, as well as an executive
officer system in an endeavor to strengthen corporate structure. In line with these is
Nikon Vision 21, pointing the way for the next decade with the objectives of further
increasing growth and profitability.
With an emphasis on creating a fresh and exciting Nikon for the 21st century and
by integrating the core competencies of the entire Nikon Group, we will continue to
strive to meet the changing needs of consumers and industries globally in the years
to come.
