In April 2007, Olympus Corporation commenced operation of
its Mishima Facility in Shizuoka Prefecture as a new base for its
Life Science Business. Development, production, quality assur-
ance and customer support operations of the diagnostic business
were transferred to this new facility, together with the artificial
bone replacement manufacturing operations of Olympus Terumo
Biomaterials Corp. Olympus will use the Mishima Facility as a hub
for contributing to the advance of next-generation medical technol-
ogy. Determined to establish this facility as the new standard for
environmental soundness, Olympus will endeavor to reduce energy-
use related to air conditioning systems at the Mishima Facility as
one of its initiatives to prevent global warming. We will proceed
with activities to reduce environmental impact by improving effi-
ciency in daily oversight through the use of monitoring data.
